You will get some pressure even with a really good line but not a ton, but the issue with 4 rushers was it created two high looks and Mahomes was horrible at taking underneath stuff early in the year and was turning the ball over at a high rate against two high looks. Since then the Chiefs have adjusted to the two high looks with their passing scheme and since no one is getting immediate pressure out of 4 man fronts it has really put a damper on that theory in my mind.

KC has now seen more two high looks than almost any team in the league since around week 3 or 4. I just don't think it's the magic bullet people want to act like it is because it's an old theory that KC has adjusted to. I mentioned in another thread, I think you need to go the route of sending pressure and getting physical with the receivers (i.e. holding them) and see if you can't steal a turnover or a couple sacks off that knowing you'll take a couple 5 yard penalties for holding at times. 

The Bengals will need a near perfect redzone game on both sides of the ball to beat the Chiefs. On defense will Chiefs will move the ball no matter what you do it will be about limiting points by forcing them to kick field goals. On Offense the Bengals won't be able to survive off big plays like they have been. They need to methodically move the ball controlling the game limit Chiefs offensive oppurtonities and score touchdowns in the redzone.


Basically the Bengals need to show they are a complete team to compete with one of the most complete teams in the NFL.
