Kansas City Chiefs Defensive Backs Being Too Aggressive?

The Chiefs defense is known for being smart and streamlined. They were anything but that in the first half against Tampa Bay.

Brady has had the benefit of receiving multiple pass interference and defensive holding penalties to advance the ball down the field. The Chiefs simply can’t be this undisciplined if they want to win the game.

Brady pounces on mistakes, and he’s going to take every one he gets. Currently, the Chiefs have 8 penalties. That’s not a good look for a team going against a quarterback who rarely ever makes mistakes.

Brady and Matheiu have been jawing all game long. Matheiu is known for being passionate and so is Brady. It remains to be seen if this battle leads to more.
