Chiefs defense, specifically the secondary are very young. Sneed is really good not only in coverage, but also blitzing. Sneed finished with the most tackles of all CBs, most batted passes, 2nd most forced fumbles, the most pressure on the quarterback, and the most sacks.

McDuffie is a rookie, but has better numbers than your guy Tayson. He is less than 1% away from Surtain as far as target rate goes. Secondary has been playing much better since putting McDuffie in the slot.

Karlaftis has come along in the second half of the season. He’s second best rookie DL in the league as far as pressure, and Sacks. Jones, Furious George, and Dunlop are good at generating pressure.

The offense runs through Kelce, and he’s had a heck of a year. He finished with 664 YAC which is best in the league among ALL pass catchers.

McKinnon has been on a tear, and is very much on the same page with Mahomes. He’s got 9 TDs in the last month of the season. And he’s always prepared for when Mahomes does something off script.

Pacheco has only been starting for less than a season and still ended up with close to 1000 yards. Chiefs actually have the same yp carry as the Jags.

Shutting down our offense is not an easy task. Playoff Andy and Patrick are always locked in during the divisional round. Pat has never lost in the divisional. He’s also never played an away playoff game, or made it to the AFCCG. This week will continue those trends. I’m thinking 31-20 Chiefs.
