After just missing out on a trip to the Super Bowl last season, the Chiefs haven’t been content to tweak things.
Defensive coordinator Bob Sutton was fired and Steve Spagnuolo hired in his place. The Chiefs have bid farewell to pass-rushers Dee Ford and Justin Houston, along with cornerback Steven Nelson and safety Eric Berry. New members of the defense include safety Tyrann Mathieu, cornerback Bashaud Breeland and defensive ends Emmanuel Ogbah and Alex Okafor.
Mike Florio and Chris Simms of NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk, discussed the moves on Tuesday. Florio noted that the Chiefs’ league-leading 52 sacks didn’t amount to much in the end.
