Chiefs Defense Remains Rock-Solid In Denver

Chiefs Defense Remains Rock-Solid In Denver

2 years ago

The Kansas City Chiefs are known for their robust offense, but their defense has been just as good in 2023 by restricting opposing offenses to the second-fewest points per game (15.0). Steve Spagnuolo's guys are holding enemy quarterbacks to the second-fewest yards per attempt (5.6), but they have been more lenient on the ground with the sixth-highest yards per carry (4.6). The Denver Broncos offense has identified more with their running game this year, generating the fourth-highest YPC (5.1). K.C.'s unit has exhibited a high floor, though, with at least one takeaway per game and multiple sacks in each contest since game-wrecking pass-rusher Chris Jones' Week 2 return. Despite playing on the road versus a mostly improved Russell Wilson from a season ago, the Chiefs D remains a top-five bet against a Broncos squad letting in the ninth-most average fantasy points to opposing defenses.
