While there were several players that contributed to the Chiefs win over the Colts Sunday, the men most responsible were John Dorsey and Bob Sutton.
The Kansas City Chiefs dominated the Indianapolis Colts 30-14 on Sunday. It was a game that was controlled by the Kansas City Chiefs from the opening whistle. While the Colts kept things interesting for much of the game, they were really never able to make things close as KC proved to be the better team in all three phases of the game.
While we could spend time discussing the individual players that stepped up and made plays in this game (Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Dee Ford, Phillip Gaines), I’m instead going to focus on the two unsung heroes of this win. Those being KC General Manager John Dorsey and Defensive Coordinator Bob Sutton.
In my opinion, those two men had more to do with Sunday’s win in Indianapolis than any other two people that are part of the Chiefs organization both on and off the field. That’s not to take away from the players or from head coach Andy Reid, but I think Sunday’s game really emphasized just how good of job Dorsey and Sutton have been doing.
Before I get into the specifics, I would also point out that the stark contrast of Dorsey and Sutton’s job performance compared to their Indianapolis counterparts was glaring and it ultimately motivated me to make them the focus of my piece this week.
