Recall, in addition to the defensive scheme comments, that our offense scores points. Its really not an option for other teams to just pound it out all game unless they hold us on offense which nobody does.
The one thing is if the whole song doesn’t click and we do pull a physical team on offense that can run and a defense that holds us the loss looks ugly—best example being the whipping Cincinnati gave us in the playoffs. More recently Baltimore.
I would rather see KC than Baltimore (obviously), but even Pittsburg is dubious in the playoffs.
