I know it’s hard to double a TE and the Chiefs are more creative then the Vikings but is there any way the Hawks can try and do what they did vs the Vikings and try and take the 2 main weapons away?

I also wonder if the Chiefs might have a little less urgency knowing they can afford a slip and still get the 1 seed by beating the Raiders at home next week.

If we can bottle up the run without stacking the box, then yes we can slow up the passing game. If we can't stop the run it's going to be a long evening.

Our D has always been predicated on stopping the run first and force you to be one dimensional. Then unleash the hounds. When we've given up a lot of points this year its because backs like Gurley and Gordon gashed us.

The Chiefs have a better QB than the Vikings did. Double up Kelse and Hill and Mahomes will find someone else where Cousins couldn't.

No one actually doubles anymore, let alone two people. There are bracket emphasis, but that's only ging to be one player if at all because it completely screws up spacing in the rest of zones.

I guess, if you went pure cover 1 with no underneath robber then you could swing actually truly "double" only one player, but two isn't possible mathematically in a 4 man rush.
