Instead, the defense played quite well. Room for improvement? Sure. But I felt like they gave a pretty good effort against a team with a lot of weapons.
I trust Mahomes and the offense to figure things out more than if the defense played horribly.

I have the opposite perspective. A lukewarm offense + a great defensive performance is unsettling for us. A great offense + a lukewarm defensive performance is usually satisfying.
I’d rather our offense just do their thing and have the defense figure things out.
Because I also don’t trust even a loaded defense to consistently stop all our top competition on offense. They’ll have games where the other offense just eats. On the other hand I think our offense CAN consistently play well against even the best of defenses.
