A deep and versatile and smart LB room that doesn't have a real weakness.
And a scheme that weaponizes all of it.
And as for the 49ers defense, they have an absolute stud DE, but the rest of the defensive line is average.
They have a pair of really good LB. The secondary is a significant weakness. Safeties don't stand out. One good CB, and the rest of the room is vulnerable.
And a scheme that has relied heavily on a zone scheme the Chiefs' offense is set up to absolutely blowtorch.
KC is going to force them to play a lot of man, and they don't have the personnel to do that.

Who on earth is covering Kelce? That's one of my first questions...he's gonna eat.
LaPorta was going off yesterday and they didn't go to him near enough.
