Chubb was trying to hold onto the ball with three Chiefs punching/pulling at it. I would add the sack, which seemed to put Mayfield in close protection mode. That was his first punt all season and the pressure could not be higher. How is Hill all alone with a safety? Consider what the game would be like if Cleveland did not convert three 4th-down plays. You say Mahomes went Mahomes. I say the Chiefs did what the Chiefs do. it works out the same, but it's not all Mahomes. it's also Hill, Kelce, Chris Jones, and now Mike Hughes. Bingo! We acted like Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce were unknowns to us. That was a bad mistake on our part. But NFL games are never perfect, so it was what it was. I just want to take the game for just that. We gave one of the best teams in the AFC all they wanted before coming up short. It was a wonderful game. Congrats to all of you - see you in January or February. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think February is possible, but certainly January. I have to give it to Cleveland. They had a plan and they played hard. Like the Chiefs, there are rough spots that need work. That's what September is always like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 More on the defense and how it adjusted. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/9/14/22673313/after-a-shaky-start-key-moments-helped-chiefs-defense-finish-off-browns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Snap count analysis. They used all four TEs and three at once four times. The base four DB played all but four plays total, with Sneed and Sorensen 100%. All three LB played extensively, 80%, 77%, 70%. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/9/14/22673533/chiefs-browns-snap-counts-all-4-tight-ends-played-but-never-together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was too lazy to look it up earlier, but AFCCG is Sun. Jan 30 at 3 - SB is Feb. 13th. You all can make me feel better about last Sunday's game by doing me one big favor...... Kick the ever living snot out of Lamar and the Ratbirds this weekend. Edited September 16, 2021 by brooks1957 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onejayhawk Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 Well, Juan Thornhill was up. He had a slow start, like most of the defense, but made two critical plays in the second half. The first was the forced fumble. Cleveland fans are putting the blame on Chubb, but Thornhill put a shoulder on the ball at speed. Not many hang on to one of those. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/9/17/22679930/chiefs-juan-thornhills-second-half-vs-browns-deserves-more-attention-nfl-ravens-tyrann-mathieu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
