The Kansas City Chiefs defense finished as one of the best in the NFL a season ago.
This year’s squad looks to match or surpass that same level of production, which won’t be easy.
The 2014 Chiefs defense finished with the second-fewest points surrendered in the NFL, zero 300-yard passers or 50-yard completions and a Defensive Player of the Year candidate who almost broke the record we most associate with individual defensive success—sacks.
There’s one key player central to this challenge that doesn’t often get the credit he truly deserves in veteran safety Husain Abdullah.
