Drue Tranquill’s flexibility is helping him to thrive in the Chiefs’ defense

Three weeks into an NFL season, it’s not unusual for the Kansas City Chiefs to have one of the league’s dominant units. It is, however, unusual for that unit to be the defense; in recent years, the team has been known for its high-flying offense.

Going into its Week 4 road game against the New York Jets, the Kansas City defense ranks fourth in points allowed and sixth in yards allowed. If the unit holds these spots through the season, both would be high points under defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
