Heading into Super Bowl LVIII this Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the Kansas City Chiefs will be without a significant contributor: defensive end Charles Omenihu tore his ACL during the first half of the team’s 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship. It happened on the very next defensive snap after Omenihu had forced a turnover with a strip-sack of quarterback Lamar Jackson.
That play demonstrated the tools Omenihu has used to become one of the Chiefs’ most impactful pass rushers: he won around the outside edge, finishing the play with a textbook chop at the ball.
