2.  Offensively, I'm also concerned they could take a page out of the Chargers approach and call for very tight coverage, cheating on the underneath crossing routes.  I would hope we attack deep sometimes early in the first quarter to keep them out of that.

3.  Our defense seems to have stabilized since that game.Darious Williams seems to have setttled in outside at starting CB.  Walker seems to be improving.  So does Lloyd, as he's started/gotten more PT early the last two weeks.  We also seems to have gotten a better pass rush as the season has worn on.  Hopefully all of this continues this coming Saturday.  We've got to clow them down.

1.  Agree completely.  Jones is capable of blowing up the offense and creating game changing plays.

2.  I'm curious to see how the refs call it this game.  Will they let the defense get there a step early on nearly every play like last week?  Or will they actually call the early hits when they happen?

3.  As much as we appeared to stay in that game last time, the Chiefs looked like they could do whatever they needed to do on offense.  If they needed more points, I didn't see anything that would have prevented them from scoring more.  That said, our defense has definitely gotten to another level, at least in the play making department.  Hopefully they can make Mahomes uncomfortable enough on occasion to force a couple of mistakes that we can take advantage of.
