By all accounts, the Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive performance in Week 6 against the Washington Football Team was its best of the season. The defense allowed fewer points, yards and first-down conversions than in any other game this year.

Let’s take a closer look at what the defense did during their best showing of the year.
