Through four weeks, the Kansas City Chiefs have had one of the NFL’s best-run defenses. It’s allowed 3.8 yards per rush — the league’s third-lowest rate — and has held starting running backs to just 2.7 yards per carry.
But the defense will face a strong test when the Chiefs host the New Orleans Saints in Week 5’s edition of “Monday Night Football.” Their running back Alvin Kamara is the league’s third-leading rusher going into this weekend, headlining an offense that leads the league in rushing attempts.
Kansas City linebacker Leo Chenal has played a key role in stuffing runs this season.
