I still think the Chiefs are fielding an average D but if they keep scoring close to 40 points, the defense will allow points too, especially against top QBs and top offences.

It's not just that they've scored a lot, but that they've jumped out to big leads immediately. So you had two really good passing offenses in catch-up mode for nearly the entire game.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a "good" defense, but I think the people saying it's historically bad are way off.
They seem to be far better at stopping the run. The secondary needs work but isn't as brutal as it has seemed. Berry will help.
