If you somehow looked away for the few months, you likely won’t recognize a whole lot from the Kansas City Chiefs defense since the last time you saw them. After the team’s disappointing loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game, the Chiefs decided to overhaul their defense from the top—beginning with a change in leadership.
After the season was over, the Chiefs made quick work of setting Bob Sutton free as the team’s defensive coordinator, a man who was in place for six consecutive seasons in K.C. Sutton’s was ousted and replaced by Steve Spagnuolo, a man who was out of football last year but who has deep ties with head coach Andy Reid.
