Kansas City Chiefs are among the NFLโs top-ranked teams with no defeat in the season so far, and this owes itself especially to defense. A month ago now, the Pro Football Focus (PFF) had ranked the defending Super Bowl champions in the top ten of the defensive players list. This brings a focus to the defence in the process of another championship run, placing the defence as an important category in the combined team.
While there may not be a definitive way to get to the Super Bowl, adding Patrick Mahomes the dynamic quarterback on the offense side, and the teamโs strong defense on the other end looks poised for a shot at the Super Bowl. But according to PFF, this team is performing well in some games but might switch their ranking around in the near future which is true of the Kansas City Chiefs. Ben Rolfe of PFF mentions that the teamโs defense, even if it was good in 2023, has to prove it can dominate all year, particularly after stringing together performances against playoff-quality teams like the Ravens and the Bengals during the early part of the season.
Mahomes himself has admitted that he is nowhere near his best but the team has achieved a clean slate and intact, has won 3 games from as many matches. The performance of the Chiefs over the teams they have beaten so early in the season reassures them as the outstanding team to beat. The defensive unit in particular has demonstrated that when called upon it can step up and that improves the teamโs chances of a potential three-peat.
As much as the Chiefs are immeasurably talented, and have a history of success, the possibility for them to be even better off by this point in the season with a steadily developing defense is even more promising. Offensive and defensive match tactics have placed the Chiefs on a high pedestal to be a team that would keep the championship for another year.
