3 months agoThe Kansas City Chiefs defense will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on the road in Week 4. The Chiefs defense has been disappointing, but there are reasons for optimism. The Kansas City unit gave up 17 points to the Atlanta Falcons last week, their fewest points allowed this season. The Chiefs defense also came down with their first interception of the year against Kirk Cousins. With multiple sacks in back-to-back games, the Chiefs are trending upwards. Kansas City will face off against the Los Angeles Chargers and their rush attack. The Chargers have the seventh-most rushing yards per game this season, but their efficiency will likely drop this week. The Chargers have two injured offensive linemen this week. Rashawn Slater has already been ruled out this week, and Joe Alt is listed as questionable but seems unlikely to suit up. The run game will suffer from the potential loss of both tackles, and the passing game could also be at risk. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is also listed as questionable for this matchup. The Chargers offense is full of injuries, and their defense is also banged up. The Chiefs defense could capitalize if the Chargers run game fails and Herbert misses this contest. The Kansas City defense should be a start-worthy unit this week.--Joshua Costello - RotoBaller
