Chiefs had the Cards silent count deciphered.

Step 1 - Josh Rosen extends his arm down. You've probably seen this a bunch of times.
Step 2 - the RG (normally Pugh) is looking back at Rosen and when he shoots his arm down, Pugh taps the Center to let him know he's good to snap.
Step 3 - the C (Cole) dips his head one time to see the QB and then snaps the ball. (Note: This is only for shotgun formations)
The Chiefs did their homework because they had our silent count down to a T. (Props to Dee Ford he was on top of this all game) because of this they were able to time our shotgun snaps and get a great jump on the edge, it made blocking the edge even more difficult for our already sub par RT, Mr. Andre Smith.
This sack is a great clip of what I'm getting at. You can watch the Rosen silent count go through, and then see Dee Ford (55 for the Chiefs) get off the line immediately.
To get a better look, set the video speed at 0.25 ... almost the instant Cole dips his head before the snap Dee is already moving.
Andre Smith was ****ed from the start. This is just one clip but on almost every single pressure there was a constant theme, they were getting a lightning fast jump on our snap.
