The Chiefs defense is 15th in EPA/play, 17th in EPA/pass, 22nd in sack%, 20th in INT%, 28th(!!!) in completion percentage allowed.
The front office/staff designed the team to limit possessions but forgot to run the ball effectively on offense and beat man coverage.

The best team by far, the 1990 Chargers, imploded the next year (though the 1991 Chargers were 2-8 in close games).
But most of the teams on this list had winning records the following season. #ChiefsKingdom
Patrick Mahomes turnover worthy plays in the playoffs from 2020-2023:

2021 - 2 in 4 games
2022 - 1 in 3 games (🏆)
2023 - 1 in 4 games (🏆)
4 total in 14 games.
