Horrible Defensive Line Ranking Shows Disrespect for the Chiefs

With two straight seasons of being in the top three in the league in sacks, the Chiefs boast one of the fiercest defensive lines in the NFL. Even with Kansas City’s superiority over the opposition, some people don’t think highly of the team.

The Chiefs are ranked 14th among the NFL’s best defensive lines by Pro Football Focus, which revealed its rankings. They ought to be in the top 10 just because of Chris Jones, but other excellent players to consider are George Karlaftis, Mike Danna, Charles Omenihu, and Derrick Nnadi.

The guys in Kansas City’s defensive line, which is among the top five in the NFL, have a great deal of continuity with one another and the system. This ranking is appalling in all respects.

Ask the 49ers or Ravens if you don’t think the Chiefs have a world-class defensive line. In pivotal situations, Kansas City interfered with Brock Purdy and Lamar Jackson, which helped the team win its second straight Super Bowl.
