A win is a win, but Chiefs fans should definitely be concerned with how poorly the defense looked on Sunday.

It wasn’t just one part of the defense that was bad. ALL of it was bad. The run defense, the pass rush, the secondary, you name it. All atrocious.

The Los Angeles Chargers put up 541 total yards on offense and if that’s an indicator for how this season is going to go, I sure hope Patrick Mahomes is able to have a 256 yard/four touchdown performance every week because the Chiefs are going to need it.

With all of the talent the Chiefs have defensively, there’s no reason for that side of the ball to be THIS bad. Kendall Fuller was disappointing in his regular season Chiefs debut, Orlando Scandrick was getting roasted, Justin Houston was nowhere to be found, and everything was just bad, bad, bad.

The Steelers are up next for the Kansas City Chiefs and if the defense doesn’t make adjustments, be prepared for yet another beatdown in Pittsburgh.

What did you think was good, bad, and ugly about this game?
