Don't you think that maybe he could have limited T.Y. Hilton to less than 13-224-2? I like to think so.

To say the game is all on KC's defense is incorrect. The defense played very well in the 1st half. But when their top cornerback went down and their offense could no longer stay on the field and score points, they got dominated.

Their offense didn't even need to step on the field the second half and that defense STILL should have kept them from scoring 35 points in 24 minutes. They went conservative and stopped blitzing. They got no rush on Luck and he simply ate them up.
