EDGE >> CHIEFS
Big edge here for the Chiefs, who have established an identity as a running team and will be facing a team that struggles mightily against the run. Inside linebacker Karlos Dansby (6-3, 251) leads the Browns’ 3-4 defense in tackles, but he — like fellow inside linebackers Chris Kirksey and Craig Robertson — have fared better in coverage this year. Defensive end Randy Starks (6-4, 305) and first-round rookie Danny Shelton (6-2, 339) are fairly stout — Shelton, in particular, was impressive last week against the Seahawks — but the Browns’ run defense has still surrendered the fifth-most runs over 20 yards (12) third-most runs over 40 yards (four) in the league.
