First half we were scheming to take Adams away and they just killed us with runs or passes to other guys. 2nd half we still took Adams away but managed to cover the other stuff. The only thing I can think is we kept the ball so much in the 2nd half their offense never got back in sync?

I'm probably wrong, because I couldn't watch every single play, but it almost seem like when Simmons was in there they were playing more like three safeties. I don't know somebody else with more knowledge can break it down better than that I'm sure.

They rushed more than 4 at times, especially Baker. They brought more players close to the line which shut down the run almost completely. They also were less predictable in which of those players were rushing.

He brought the blitz against Mahomes, which everyone knows you don't do, then he laid off Carr when he should've blitzed in the 1st half. Garbage defensive game planning.
