Through the first eight weeks of the 2023 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense has been one of the league’s most pleasant surprises — this has been especially true against deep passes. Coming into Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany, Steve Spagnuolo’s defense had allowed 12 completions of 20 or more air yards on 35 attempts for 384 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions, six pass breakups, and an opponent passer rating of 76.4.
