4 Chiefs Who Must Have a Bounce Back Game in Week 11

The Kansas City Chiefs barely escaped the Denver Broncos, defeating them 16-14 on Sunday to remain undefeated.

Although the Chiefs escaped with a victory, many key players underperformed. Recently, for the Chiefs, when players have underperformed, it has usually been one group; the wide receivers. Sunday, though, key players at every position struggled.

One bad game is fine, but they'll need to get back on their A-game fast. That will be especially important since their next opponent is the Buffalo Bills, who always play them tough and have their number in the regular season.

With that in mind, here are four Chiefs who must bounce back in Week 11 against the Bills.

1. Kareem Hunt

On Sunday, Kareem Hunt had his worst game since returning to the Chiefs. Hunt finished the day with 14 carries for 35 yards, which is an average of 2.5 yards a carry. While Denver did possess a top-15 run defense entering the game, Hunt has faced other top run defenses this season.

In Hunt's first game with the Chiefs this season, he rushed 69 yards on 14 carries against the Chargers. The Chargers have possessed one of the better run defenses all year and are currently ninth in rushing yards allowed.

Then, in their Week 7 Super Bowl rematch against the San Francisco 49ers, Hunt rushed for 78 yards on 22 carries and scored two touchdowns. While the 49ers' overall defense hasn't been as good as it was a few seasons ago, their run defense is still a top-ten unit this season.

So, watching Hunt struggle against the Broncos was surprising to say the very least. Thankfully, Hunt should be able to bounce back quickly against the Bills.

Buffalo has one of the worst run defenses in the NFL, so even with Hunt's lack of explosiveness, he should be efficient against them. Hunt being effective in the running game helps the offense look more complete.
