2. The Trenches: A Battle of Stifling Defenses
Forget a shootout; this game will be won in the trenches. The Chiefs boast a top-4 scoring defense, allowing under 75 rushing yards in 4 of their last 5 games. Meanwhile, the Cowboys’ run defense has been transformed since adding Quinnen Williams, now allowing the fewest yards before contact to RBs. Every inch will be a war.

The Cowboys’ revamped defensive line must exploit Mahomes’ key weakness: pressure in his face. When pressured, his completion rate plummets to a dismal 38%. However, when he scrambles, he becomes a nightmare, generating a league-high 557 yards of offense outside the pocket. Containing his improvisation is the ultimate key.
