3. Get after Orton
The Chiefs have the best passing rushing duo in linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston. Houston has been on a record pace and will very much be looking for his big pay day at some point in the near future. Hali has not matched the great stats of Houston, but his motor knows no end and he will relentlessly pursue the quarterback. This defense is also playing at a high level, despite the the losses of key players earlier in the year. Ranking third in overall defense and number one against the pass, the defense has been the key to the recent Chiefs win streak.
The Bills have a great player in Watkins that is to be sure, but the lack of the run game is only going to help the Chiefs. If the Chiefs can find a way to shut down Watkins and get after Orton, the Bills offensive line could be trouble as Houston tries to continue his record-setting pace. The Bills have given up 23 sacks on the year, and if the Chiefs want to seal the deal, so to speak, they need to find ways to get in the face of Orton. If the Chiefs are able to continue the trend of being number one against the pass, they should be able to win in Buffalo.
