A few things about today’s game that should be applauded.

[TomahawkChop 255]

1). No injuries 

2) a win on the road in a hostile, loud environment.  

3). Defensive scoop and score. Heads up play. 

4). Dropped 34 points on the road against a pretty solid defense. 

4a) without Pat throwing a TD. 

5). 4-0 without Tyreek says something. 

6)  two game lead in the division  

Any win in the NFL should be applauded. I’ll enjoy this victory and look forward to Claiborne adding depth to the cb position and getting Tyreek and Damien Williams back in the near future.

Andy staying with run is #1 for me. In the past, we lose because he continues to throw.

I agree with all of the above. The Breeland play was very heads up. 14 point swing. that was the game.

Agree, a savvy veteran move. Just wait until Mo shows up. I have to believe the D will improve even more.

We won when we got tested. Others didn’t this week.

Exactly. This is not a perfect team and they certainly did not play a perfect game today, but they won. And that’s huge. They will continue ur to be a difficult out throughout the year and will probably win a game or two more that look as bad as this one.

Didn’t see that. Hope he’s ok. He’s played well to date.

yes. good to see andy run it three times at the goal line. i really like daryl williams. nice hands too. 

[kkuenn 3,597]

This too without our starting WR, LT and RB. We will get better as we play more on defense and get healthier too. Clark and HB have yet to really live up to their contracts/hype. Just imagine if they get it going along with Mo coming in next week too.

And Wilson

I think he is fine and he was pulled mostly because the NFL is super cautious now.

Think its a prior injury that he happened to re-aggrivate.  Lets get ready for another exciting round of week to week

I'm still watching the game. The Lions are looking pretty solid. I was semi-worried about this game because of who they beat (Chargers & Eagles). My concern was justified because they're playing well, but so are the Chiefs comparatively. 

[Docbarnabee 225]

Concerning because we struggled with press man and sloppy play. We do that against New England, we lose

[DieHard 2,061]

We would not have beaten NE playing like that but the big thing to me is we found a way to win when we were out played. I think championship teams do that. Unlike the Chargers who seem to find a way to lose sometimes.

I love that it was a terrible day for Mahomes. Off target throws, but time pressure, receivers couldn’t get open....  And he still threw for 315. It is amazing that 315 is what a “bad” day is.

We played against the ex defensive coach from NE. He set them up as he learned from NE. We won and i think we would have too against NE. Look at their play yearerday against a much lesser qb and team. I know the chiefs would have won that game.

Great recognition by Andy. They were throwing our WRs off routes and blanketing Kelce causing major problems in the red zone. He made a statement to the oline by doing this even though it’s certainly not what we do best.

There’s no doubt BB and Patricia talked this week IMO. Served both of them for Lions to win.

You should count on having to win one ugly slugfest in January if you want to hoist the Lombardi.  Game defensive effort wasn’t good enough but 8 TFL and 4 sacks flashed some real system promise. The MVP pulled an Elway by being mortal all game but pulling out the W with clutch play anyway.

The turnovers did not help the D. Good to get those out of the way and win.

Turnovers kept them on the field too long. They did get 8 third down stops. That’s encouraging

Not that it matters, but NE couldn't have beaten the Chiefs if NE played them the way they did yesterday.  All teams have bad games and the Chiefs dodged a bullet yesterday.  Would they have looked better with Fisher and Hill?  Maybe, but the Lions would have been better with Slay.  One thing we can count on is that every opponent will have learned from the Belichick/Patricia model of defensing the Chiefs.
