Game Thread: Jets in Arrowhead for the Afternoon

[Fountain City Blues]

I won't be able to post too much be I may as well start the thread.

Still throwing away points I see. Should be a 3 score game and it's a 2 score game instead.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

That was exceptionally derpy, but it's a win.

I'll say this however: If the Chiefs are within two games of Denver when they get Houston back, I love how they matchup against them; silenced some critics today.

 

[Clayton]

Derrick Johnson was everywhere.

PFF writeup for this week

Top offensive grades:

QB Alex Smith, 82.5
TE Travis Kelce, 81.5
RT Mitchell Schwartz, 74.6
WR Chris Conley, 71.7
C Mitch Morse, 68.1

Offensive line roughed up despite win

The notion that games are won in trenches didn’t hold true in this game, as the Chiefs’ offensive line was dominated all game long against the strong Jets front. RT Mitchell Schwartz was the lone bright spot on the line as Schwartz allowed just 1 pressure all game while holding his own as a run blocker. LT Eric Fisher (35.8) struggled to block do-everything-man DE Sheldon Richardson as he allowed a sack, a hit and a hurry.

Top defensive grades:

ILB Derrick Johnson, 95.7
CB Marcus Peters, 87.5
S Eric Berry, 85.3
S Daniel Sorensen, 83.2
DT Dontari Poe, 80.9

Derrick Johnson leads a strong defense

One of the Chiefs’ veteran re-signings this offseason, Derrick Johnson repaid Kansas City’s investment in him with an excellent performance against the Jets. He nabbed one of Ryan Fitzpatrick’s many interceptions, returning it for a touchdown, and forced another by undercutting a slant in the red zone and popping it up to a teammate. He led the team with five defensive stops (no other Chief had more than two) and 10 total tackles. Johnson surrendered just 20 yards from seven targets, showing that he’s one of the league’s few linebackers who seems to have little trouble holding up in man coverage against running backs.



Quarterback grade: Ryan Fitzpatrick, 17.1

Also, what a pretty gif

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Nelson has been quite impressive these past two week by my estimation. Secondary looks fine, but the passrush is pretty inconsistent when you have 1-2 edgerushers at a time which are mediocre at best. Rough way to try to rush the passer straight up.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Looking around the AFCW, each team still is offering reason to be concerned or optimistic depending oh what your personal paradigm is. Siemian was largely inaccurate and threw a lot more interceptable balls than the boxscore indicates, but he did enough to not quite be an albatross either. With the exception of SD's coaching, a fatal and terminal flaw in my opinion, I think any of the AFCW teams can win the division just looking at their play through 3 weeks. Oakland is up and down as expected, where they settle in is the million dollar question. As for KC, I recuse myself.

I can't remember the last time I've seen so many interceptions thrown by a QB... And I like Fitzpatrick but damn...

Usually they get benched before getting all the way to 6. Broncos got to 5 total as I recall with Manning having 4 of them.
