Our defense did play great in the redzone. They did not play well covering the rest of the field.

The reason they were on the field for almost 37 out of 60 minutes was because they couldn't stop the Chiefs on 3rd down, they allowed them to convert 1st downs 2 times at least when we had them 2nd and 19. This was against the worst team coming in the Chiefs (converted 16% of 3rd downs) which magnifies some issues.

On the other hand, the only time our offense was stopped was due to penalties. Our offense far and away carried the defense yesterday. But, The defense did play great redzone defense and our offense was 4 for 4 converting TD's in the redzone.
