Here's why the Kansas City Chiefs are struggling so much on defense

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs were quick to point out after Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers that it's almost impossible to win an NFL game when turning the ball over four times, as the Chiefs did.

That's true, but since Patrick Mahomes took over at quarterback of the Chiefs they generally haven't been consistently sloppy with the ball. Sunday's turnover problems are a seemingly easy fix.

Repairing the bigger issue, a leaky defense, will be more problematic. The Chiefs, after a strong start on Sunday, allowed the Chargers to score on five of their final seven possessions, including all three in the fourth quarter.
