1/2 the season. They weren't special rushing the passer with him and only managed 1 sack against KC with him to boot.
And that was WITH Cam Erving playing LT. Mahomes is a wizard at avoiding sacks, but this is not a defense that has been really effective pressuring the quarterback.
Watt is also returning early from a torn pec and has it braced. He's nowhere close to 100 percent and there's a decent probability he was healthier last week than he will be this week.
When you're less than 100 percent healed and return early, you're usually best the first time back, then have diminishing returns from there due to the injury getting worse again until you can fully rest it.
