The Kansas City Chiefs will be much better in coverage in 2019

The Kansas City Chiefs weren’t very good in pass coverage last season. I don’t think you’d find many (if any) Chiefs fans that would argue that fact. The Chiefs gave up the second most passing yards in the NFL last season at the rate of 273.4 yards per game and also allowed 30 passing touchdowns on the season.

While the run defense wasn’t very good either, most Chiefs fans feel better about the run defense heading into 2019 because of a rebuilt defensive front as part of the switch to new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s 4-3 defense. However, many Chiefs fans are still very concerned about the pass coverage, in large part because the Chiefs haven’t made significant upgrades to the cornerback position.
