What defense do you think will play better against the Chiefs offense? We're definitely NOT going to stop them. We can only hope to contain them.
Man to Man seems impossible with their speed and then it will tire our guys out and Sherm would probably be exposed. Zone might leave some holes open and Mahomes could pick us apart. What do you guys think?

Super Bowl 19 reprise. 4-1-6, sometimes zone, sometimes man.

We CAN stop them with constant pressure on Mahomes. His stats are just ok under duress. We can't do what the Titans did with a 3 man front thinking the extra DB would help. Mahomes with extra time and any separation is a laser throw to the receiver.

I actually think man to man will be more effective on the edges with the safety help on the deep shots.
