It's amazing how badly the Chiefs defense fell apart after the 9-0 start. But once they couldn't get consistent pass rush their not very good secondary was exposed. Carolina is a similar team with secondary issues that can be exploited, but they have a better front seven. Chiefs gotta be thinking nothing but defensive upgrades, by the end of the year the offense was rolling. Probably could give Alex Smith a real tight end though.
Eagles really just didn't play well enough. The Saints gave them turnovers and mostly struggled to move the ball early, but the Eagles couldn't do anything with it. The Saints defensive improvements are why they might be able to make a run on the road this year. In previous years Drew Brees would need to put up 35 points that win that game, but this year he finally has support.
