Reasons to be positive heading to KC

The Chiefs rely on blitzing to get pressure. They blitz 28.1% which is 8th most in the league. For comparison, the Titans rank 28th and the Raiders 32nd.

Joey B shreds the blitz. At one point he was PFF's top rated QB vs the blitz (probably still is).

This is honestly the biggest reason to be optimistic IMO. Burrow loves blitzing Defenses. Tears them up.

I think only Brady was rated higher and don't even know if that is true. Burrow is as good as anyone against the blitz.

Also looks like Matthieu and one of their big DT's will be out.

We might be able to run on them better than we did the last game.
