Reason for optimism

Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram

If you’ve got a good pass rush, then you’ll get good coverage. That’s exactly what Bosa and Ingram bring to the table, who have combined for seven sacks the past three games.

The Chiefs offensive line was hampered by injuries, but they should benefit from getting tackles Eric Fisher and Laurent Duvernary-Tardiff back this week. But Bosa and Ingram have still flourished against some of the league’s best this season.

If the dynamic duo can contain Mahomes and make him feel the heat, he won’t have much time to get the ball off to one of his playmakers. And, it’s unlikely that he will elect to scramble when being pressured, still being cautious of his knee.
