But... What if we beat KC next week?

If Wilson is back that would help a bit but the bigger issue is schematically the most success teams have found is playing two high and we play a lot of single high. Now that said everyone has played two high since they struggled early with it and have seemed to have an answer now so maybe going single high will mix it up but the issue is you get Hill one on one and that’s always a mismatch. One thing you can’t do is send extra blitzers and we tend to use just four anyways so that does favor us a bit.

The performance of the front four will determine a lot of the success of the defense, no doubt.  Mahommes has shown the ability to not always force it down field and take the short stuff (Bengal's achilles heal) but being such a big game and against Burrow...

I have no doubts the team will come to play.  No way to the get mauled and no way do they shoot themselves in the foot (really, that's the only time they get mauled).

Just praying for Reader to return and we have a no-COVID list, at least among starters, as Brandon Allen is already on it.
