I don’t necessarily think the chiefs hold everything back but there’s a case to be made that they tighten everything up when they get to the playoffs. Spags has a complicated scheme that takes time to learn. And he doesn’t seem afraid to try lots of players out regardless of inexperience.
We’re in an ideal spot for our defense to make mistakes. With our schedule and the division pretty much locked up. And even trying to get the #1 seed we have the schedule advantage. If our secondary is bad at zone it’s games like last week that are great opportunities to get real uncomfortable. Not sure what we can for pass rush but at the very least there’s tremendous upside for our secondary to improve a ton. Way more opps to do that then a team desperately clinging to every single snap at this point in the season
