The Faiders have structured their team to be a bad matchup for us. We will make adjustments to counter that. Andy's priority is always winning the division first. The Faiders have played well on offense, but they have not done anything defensively to really stop us. Their only hope is to win a shootout.
Scoring is up this year--you can name your reason (no training camp, less practice, COVID, etc.)---there is no elite defense in the league this year--and I think that bodes well for us.

I agree that we would have signed up for the defensive stats and the record of 9-1 before the season.
But, as far as elite defenses, while there are no historically elite defenses, compared to the rest of the league, there are several that are pretty damn good.
The Rams, Colts, Bucs, and Saints are all very good defenses.
And the Steelers are currently the number one scoring defense, giving up a little over 17 points per game. However, they really haven't played a lot of really good offenses.
Remove the two games against the Raiders, and the Chiefs are giving up about 17.5 points per game to everyone else.
