Tied for worst in the league in missed tackles with 39, and also tied for worst with YAC. Same with our ST on kickoffs, worst in the league.
We haven't been able to cover premier WRs this year and I think that's the biggest problem. Whether you want to say it's lack of defensive pressure or secondary problems... it's a problem.
Pittman Jr, Evans, Williams, Adams, Davis, and Diggs combine for...
In those 5 games.... 55 targets, 40 receptions, 634 yards and 6 TD
Which if that was a player that would be T-10th in targets, 8th in receptions, 3rd in yards, T-2nd in touchdowns.
Only 6 other teams have more points scored against. The chiefs have the best offense in the league while being straight dragged by their terrible defense.
This defense and our tackles will ensure we get embarrassed in the playoffs.

Can't argue with the truth.
But the defense that played the other day is not going to be the defense that's playing for us a month or so from now. What I mean is, they are going to improve. Getting Gay back will help up front immensely. Getting McDuffie will also help, but just getting live snaps in will help these guys get more comfortable in Spags system.
It literally happens every season. By weeks 10 or 12, Spags will have a much better idea of what all these new guys can and can't do, and he'll put them in positions to succeed. That's what he does every year.
