It's possible that Week 2' 36-35 loss to the Baltimore Ravens was the team's worst defensive performance since defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo joined the Kansas City Chiefs' staff in 2019.
Aside from two interceptions, the defense could not stop Baltimore's offense. In total, they allowed 481 yards — with 251 of them coming on the ground. Pro Football Focus tallied nine missed tackles for the team, and the only time they hit the quarterback all night was when a blitzing Dan Sorensen earned a sack.
Players needed to execute better — but ultimately, Spagnuolo holds responsibility for how his unit plays.
