The Kansas City Chiefs have only lost one game this season.
Even so, some aren’t as sold on them as they were in the past.
Analysts think it was a matter of time before they got exposed, and it may have finally happened.
At least, that’s what Kay Adams and former star Luke Kuechly seem to feel.
In the latest edition of “Up & Adams,” the Carolina Panthers legend expressed his concerns about this team’s ability to pressure the opposing quarterback.
Is it time to press the panic button on the #Chiefs LACK of pass rush?? 👀
“Their inability to generate rush with four guys, especially on the perimeter of that defense is giving them some problems.”@LukeKuechly @heykayadams | #ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/RaM4SR8F38

Outside of Chris Jones, Kuechly believes they’re having difficulty generating pressure with their EDGE guys.
They failed to sack Josh Allen in their loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Kuechly points out that they can only rush the passer with five guys, which obviously makes life difficult in coverage.
Of course, the Chiefs have one of the best – if not the best – defensive coordinators in the game, Steve Spagnuolo.
They looked to address that need for more pressure at the trade deadline, so it should be just a matter of time before they figure things out.
Also, with all the attention a player like Chris Jones draws, things should open up more against other opponents.
At the end of the day, it’ll be all about watching the tape and making the necessary adjustments.
And as “mortal” or beatable as the Chiefs might look, no team wins 15 games in a row and consecutive Super Bowls out of sheer luck and chance.
