DEFENSE (SECONDARY): The secondary could not find an answer for Travis Kelce running wild, catching 106 yards and two touchdowns in the process. No forced fumbles, no interceptions, just a whole lot of tackles in mostly cover-your-rear type situations. Kevin Johnson did have some flashes of brilliance but I still saw Darryl Morris get burned even during garbage time toward the end of the game.
Kareem Jackson led the unit in tackles along with Johnathan Joseph (four). These guys can redeem themselves this week against a passing game that’s quite lackluster and it should be feasting time for them! But definitely keep your eyes set on corner backs Charles Tillman and Josh Norman, who had pivotal interception that he took back to the house in the third-quarter of last week’s 20-9 win over the Jaguars.
