Which defense will we see?

The Chiefs’ defense has been interesting this season. After a rocky start, it was beginning to look like the defense was finally coming around after keeping Kirk Cousins and Dalvin Cook in check during the win over the Vikings in Week 9. But the defense would then give up 188 yards rushing to Derrick Henry and allow Ryan Tannehill to win have a game-winning drive the following week. The defense has been up and down, and it’s leaving us unsure what to expect on a weekly basis.

The offense can be one of the best in the league, especially with everyone healthy, but if the defense doesn’t do their part for the rest of the season, the Chiefs will be in trouble. The Chargers have great players at nearly every skill position, including Melvin Gordon at running back and Keenan Allen at wide receiver.
