They have faced 7 of the top 10 teams in pass rush per PFF, which take it for whatever it's worth but probably better than people just making the claim.

It isn't a narrative. Even pro Analysts have mentioned that the Chiefs have not faced big time defensive lines this year and when you look at the lines in terms of sacks produced the Bengals (at 33 from the DL) are by far the most productive DL they have faced this season. Their Locked on Bengals guy opined that if the opposing team can get pressure with 4 and not need to blitz it could cause issues; well it just happens the Bengals DL does exactly that. 

So it isn't just our OL that is on the spot - so is theirs. And hopefully this week Lou opens up his playbook and dials up some shifts and moves up front to give Hendrickson, Hubbard, Hill, Reader (YAY!) Kareem and Ogunjobi the best chance to affect things.
