The Kansas City Chiefs are an enigma of a team, one week they play great the other poor. With the New Orleans Saints coming to Arrowhead this Sunday what are three things the team must do to win?

The Kansas City Chiefs have had the very definition of an up and down season. They come up with a big win, only to see the themselves get hammered the next week. With all the up and downs this team has, when they are on they are on, and when they are bad, oof they are bad.

This week the New Orleans Saints come into Arrowhead to take on the Chiefs, what are three keys to victory for Kansas City in order to win?

The Saints are currently 2-3 but you would never know it by the stats they are putting up every week.

Ranking first in passing (335.4 yards per game) and second total yards per game (413.4) as well has second in points per game at 31. Quarterback Drew Brees has been called over the hill and people question his arm strength but there is not a week that goes by when there is not a huge pass play.

With that in mind the first key to victory for the Kansas City Chiefs is to stop the big play. New Orleans is filled with playmakers, from their quarterback to their wide receivers. Players like Brandin Cooks and Coby Fleener give Brees two big targets to throw to. Every week there is a big play out of this team sometime during the game and if the Chiefs are going to win this weekend this is the first step.
