Chiefs have excellent corners.

What if our defense is actually pretty good and is just going through it's normal early season growing pains, with a little added excrement from Danny Dirty?

I think defense takes longer into a season to gel and get into a flow.

4th corner down for Tennessee. Time for a bomb to Gordon.

I had to read this quote 3x to try to figure out how the hell Chris Jones was on the practice squad.

It’s been a long week already.

I don’t care what the stats are. Just get some damn stops. 2 Per half on their side of the field would be huge.

So.. Derrick Henry is on pace for 2,200+ rushing yards and 28 TDs this year.. after cracking 2k last year.

Assuming he's able to keep up this insane pace and smashes Eric Dickerson's rushing record while challenging LT's TD record, would we consider him an all-time great?

Excellent is probably a stretch. But I'm not saying they aren't good. They're just usually a step behind.

This is kind of interesting: The AFC West and AFC North have ZERO teams with a losing record. Worst record in either division is 3-3.

Meanwhile, the AFC East and AFC South have only ONE team in each division with a winning record: The Bills and the Titans.

Weird.

Our CBs aren't an issue. I don't think any of our LBs are good in coverage though.

If we do, it could be a really long day.

Make him earn his yards in bulk. Keep him under 4YPC and we should be alright. If we don't it will be a long, high scoring game.

not really confident going into this game. I had this penciled as a loss beginning of the season.

Henry is going to run over the defense and will have 200 yards just in the 1st half alone.

He's Okoye with superior instincts, and ridiculous speed for a man that size

In my mind, hell yes. Dude is a beast, and he’s extremely difficult to contain. Probably one of the best I’ve ever seen do it.

Edit - not only that but him using Sherman as a blocker was such a great play. Literally nothing Sherman could do about it.
