Defense

Additionally; injuries and run defense aside, I did not see any pass rush up the middle. I saw too much of Hendrickson looping around the LT and opening escape gaps for Brissett.  

Rankins needs to show up, if he couldnt do it vs the Pats, I have little faith vs KC as they have a much more formidable IOL.

Hubbard played way too many snaps with Ossai only getting 3 pass rush opportunities. 

At a minimum, we have to not lose the line of scrimmage and tackle ball carriers; anyone pressuring Mahomes other than Trey would be a huge impact in keeping this game close.
