Gritty.
The Kansas City Chiefs showed some serious toughness on both sides of the ball this week, edging out an overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens. While most will — deservedly so — be discussing the performance of our wunderkind quarterback, I walked away from this game with pride in the defensive performance.
Needless to say, when the narrative that the defense played very poorly started developing, I wanted to get the numbers run and a look at the coaches film to try to put together the performance that I saw on Sunday during the heat of the game.
