During the 30-6 defeat of the Denver Broncos in Week 7, Kansas City Chiefs fans were (somewhat unexpectedly) treated to one of the best defensive performances the team has had since the 2013 season, when the Chiefs held opponents to historically-low scoring during the first half of the season.
So when defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo met with the media on Thursday, many of the questions centered on what had changed. Spagnuolo noted that the Broncos ran a different running scheme than the team had faced in its previous two outings, but he credited the “edge” his defensive players had brought to the game.
