I'd have to see how the turnover transpired first before making that determination. 2 of those 9 wins in 1 turnover games came against the Eagles last year for instance. Both were pick 6 INTs on Kirk. yet the Skins won each game. First Philly game this year the INT turnover in the red zone was on Kirk. The fumble Flecther Cox returned for a TD in the same game was not on Kirk, but a complete right side OL breakdown with Moses' man forcing the fumble and Schreff's man was Cox.
Last year lots of KC supporters never gave the defense credit when it was due. Sure they were shitty the majority of the time, but 1st NYG game, Cleveland game, 2nd Philly game, Minny game. The defense came up huge near or at the end to close out victories. Yet all the chatter was about Det and Cincy. Det was the defenses fault, but Cincy was a overall team thing.
This year its been reserved it seems. The defense finally made a play in the Ari game, but took breakdown at the worst possible to new heights. With their 2 minutes in 1st half and at the end of games breakdowns.
Most people give credit to the defense when they play well. If they play like shit most of the game and then get lucky at the end, they still played like shit.
If the defense plays well for 28 minutes at the beginning of each half and then the other team scores a TD during each of the other two minutes per half, did they really play well?
