Few things are more satisfying to watch than an NFL defense whose units complement each other with high-quality play — especially when it is the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense, led by savvy veteran defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and his experienced position coaches.
Much can be said about how good the unit’s defensive line has become during the past couple of months — here at Arrowhead Pride, we’ve covered it extensively — but what’s also been helpful is how the unit’s coverage players have settled into well-defined roles within the overall scheme. In game-upon-game, they have set the tone by playing in ways that best fit the individual players.
