Bill Simmons raises concerns about Chiefs' defensive pressure amid 4-0 start
Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs enter their early Bye Week with a 4-0 record, led by coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has regained form after an injury last season. Despite the strong start, analyst Bill Simmons highlights issues with the Chiefs’ defense, noting they have recorded no sacks in their last three games. The team has also allowed the fewest passing yards in the AFC, but improvements are needed in pressuring opposing quarterbacks. After the Bye Week, the Chiefs will face the Los Angeles Chargers, who recently struggled to protect quarterback Justin Herbert against Seattle.
