Even if the NE D somehow held KC to 21 or 24 does one really think the end-of-year offense could have even scored that many?I agree the defense was built for the Chiefs, but losing Jason McCourty changed the secondary a lot, and they weren’t nearly as good down the stretch. Gilmore was also playing at a mere all-pro level and not super-alien level for the last month of the season. At Arrowhead, I think them getting blown out is a pretty likely result. That offense would have eventually caused the defense to defend too many short fields against Mahomes.
