But man, the 4th best LBer on this team (Chenal) is better than the best 'backer on that one (probably Wilson). It's truly incredible how far this LBer corps has come in such a short period of time. That's probably the worst LB corps to ever win an NFL championship and now I think we have arguably the best LB crew in the NFL.
So yeah - try to pick on the LBs. Maybe it works - but I kinda doubt it.

The Chiefs defense is going to be so hard for Purdy bc they're good at tackling. Their scheme relies having on running the ball well and getting YAC. That's why we killed Miami. They tried the same system but we stuffed running/cut back lanes and tackled well limiting any YAC.
They're gonna force Brock to win with his arm and hit those tight window throws. They're betting he won't be able to do it.
