If KC is trying to do that, I’d expect Bosa to be the guy KC targets, since he’s actually on the field every down and is the better player.
I can’t imagine the KC coaching staff fearing Ford any more than we do. They saw him get stonewalled by the Patriots pretty average tackles in the AFC title game, too, and the Patriots really weren’t sending extra help to do it (I mean, unless you count leaving Hogan and Edelman responsible for blocking him in stretch and outside run plays as sending an extra man at him).
