Offensive Line

The KC Chiefs saw starting left guard Parker Ehinger go down in last weekend’s game at Indy, but Zach Fulton isn’t a huge step down honestly. He can be plugged in just about anywhere, and this offensive line has really been playing well over the past month or so.

Much like last week, the Chiefs will be going up against a not so great offensive line. The Jaguars offensive line has given up 17 sacks on Bortles and Kansas City has given up one less than that.

On paper, it looks like the two lines are pretty equal, but I would disagree with that. The Chiefs offensive line struggled early on in the season, but have started to improve.

Ehinger being out might be a bit of a problem for the line, but we’ve seen them overcome obstacles over the past few seasons and they’ve seemingly made it work in the past.

This one could be a close one, but I’m leaning towards the team I know better here.

Advantage: Kansas City
