Chiefs defense seems poised for a shutout this season

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s advice for the Kansas City Chiefs at halftime of last week’s game was in the words of linebacker Drue Tranquill to “be greedy.”

The Chiefs were in position to do that. The outcome of the game was no longer in doubt, with the Chiefs leading the Chicago Bears 34-0, so why not finish the game the way it started: The Bears without a point and less than 100 yards of offense?

The Chiefs didn’t get the shutout, giving up 10 points in the fourth quarter after two interceptions thrown by backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert.
