Chiefs defense ranks third in NFL for first downs allowed, according to Pro Football Focus

The #Chiefs defense has done a great job keeping opponents behind the sticks through nine games in 2023.

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has passed the eye test during its first nine games of the 2023 NFL season, and the stats compiled by Pro Football Focus certainly seem to back up their dominance on film.

According to PFF, the Chiefs defense ranks third among all teams in the league for first downs allowed through its first nine games.

Kansas City only trails the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys, who occupy the top two spots on this impressive list.

The Chiefs’ defense will need to leverage its ability to get off the field in Week 11 when they face off against Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football in a Super Bowl LVII rematch.

Pressuring Hurts and keeping the Eagles behind the sticks will be among the most important factors for Kansas City’s success, and with any luck, the Chiefs should have no problem creating dilemmas for Philadelphia to remain among the NFL’s best teams in this capacity.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has third-most passing yards in NFL through Week 9

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has the third-most passing yards in the NFL through Week 9.

Despite having what some fans might consider a down season, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes is still in third place among NFL quarterbacks for passing yardage.

Only Tua Tagovailoa and Sam Howell, of the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders respectively, have out-gained Mahomes through the air this season.

The Texas Tech product should be expected to drop off of this list after Kansas City takes its bye week ahead of a Super Bowl LVII rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles.

While third place is an outstanding position for Mahomes to be in considering his struggles this season, he will need to turn on the jets in the coming weeks to get in a position to climb the leaderboard for the top spot.

Expect Mahomes to put together some special performances heading into the home stretch of the 2023 season as he looks to win consecutive MVPs and lift the Chiefs to another Super Bowl title.
