The Kansas City Chiefs didn't choose to recklessly rush the passer under pressure, but instead stayed tight and focused. Only three defensive linemen were left up front to maintain the pressure, while the other players were all spread out, taking on man-to-man and zone coverages that were seamlessly laid out—an impenetrable defense that covered the Red Zone completely.

After much running around, the responsibility still fell back on the quarterback, so the Kansas City Chiefs Defense cut off all the passing routes.
And Houston singled out—
Guarding against the Read Option Offense.
