Looking back on last year, the Kansas City Chiefs roster had a few holes. Some of these were due to injuries, some of these were due to losses in free agency, some of these were due to negligence throughout the draft, but they all hindered the success of the team. Here, I’d like to look at one of the Chiefs’ biggest issues: the run defense.
The run defense was, quite frankly, awful. It was extremely depressing to watch Kansas City concede chunks of yardage repeatedly off a simple run up the middle that was designed to only pick up a couple of yards.
