KC didnt win the SB last season because of offense or Mahomes doing his thing...their defense was freaking lights out. Full stop.
Maybe it changes this year as the NFL tends to do, but that was a complete "team" last year. And it was damn impressive.

They went defence heavy in a couple of drafts and got some good players. They'll miss Sneed a fair bit as him and McDuffie were a really good tandem. Spags does a good job being creative with the scheme and they found versatile defensive backs that allow him to do a fair bit with their cover skills and ability to blitz.
It's not that different than what New England did. You have the QB. Make sure your lines are both good. The HC excels at one aspect of the game. Make it so your QB only needs 20 points to win a game against other playoff teams. Trade off some guys for more draft capital when they need to get paid and keep it going as long as you can. You do need some luck, and eventually it catches up but it's worth it. Even the Patriots went like 10 years between Superbowls from 04 to 14 even though they were probably the top team in the NFL during that time frame.
