That's the quandary their offense puts you in. Hunt is a major running threat which requires your LBs to plug the gaps quick. But at the same time be mindful of Kelce's speed up the seam. The LBs have to avoid biting on the fakes yet be quick to read and attack. Not easy.

The key for us might be Nicholson. Dude is big and rangey. Maybe you shade him to Kelce and let Brown worry about Hunt.

I'd like my chances there, we'd just need to make sure our corners handled Hill without giving up the huge play. That and keep containment on Alex Smith. He'll get out and run if the rush is undisciplined.

This opponent deserves a lot of respect but for once it seems like we might have the talent to hang defensively.

Chiefs have a 50-yard touchdown in NFL record nine straight games – ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/09/27/chiefs-have-a-50-yard-touchdown-in-nfl-record-nine-straight-games/)

big plays are an issue, very true. I think playing disciplined and coaching scheme. Safety play...last line...is naturally gonna have to be played at a high level.

If the D keeps showing up similar to last week it will be a very interesting season.

Was it just a perfect storm of the D playing way above it’s head and the Raiders’ offense laying an egg, or is the D a legit force to be reckoned with? We shall see.

Been thinking that all week, didn't want be a debbie downer and bring it up here. We don't get many weeks like this around here; just wanted to take it in.

If we win an away game, against a good team, in prime time, I may believe we can get 4 wins.

I might have to change my 4 win prediction to 6 if this keeps up.

I think we’re legit. Obviously you’re not going to shut everyone done like that each week, but to do it against a high octane offense like that for 4 quarters tells me it’s likely not a fluke.

Is Hill a great WR or is he just living on speed and creative ways of getting him in space? I have never been super impressed with his "receiving" abilities. Just a freak athlete who the coach is putting in the right spots. I think if we coach this just right, we can shut him down. Damn, our edge-to-edge run defense has me drinking some stroooong Kool-Aid.

Side note: How effing great is DJ Swearinger?? Dude is turning into the heart and soul of the D (I could watch the play where he knocks the skittles out of Lynch all day and not tire of it).

With that said, I am seriously worried about a let down b/c of how much emotion went into last week's win. I have no doubt they CAN beat KC but worry that they won't be able to sustain the emotional physicality needed to do so.
