I am not sure why we gave up the yards yesterday. I did see an extremely fast KC team and it seemed we decided we not let Kelsey beat us so that may have opened up things for others like Macklin.
Look at the drive details I laid out on page 2 of this thread, a lot of the yardage given up was due to linebacker or safety troubles in coverage. Very little yardage due to CBs in short and medium routes, and only a couple of big plays but both given up by Dennard who isn't a starter.
People are talking about what will happen if we play New England and whatnot, which I think is ridiculous at this point of the season, but I don't think we would match up very well with them at the time being with our current performance at LB and S in coverage.
