It wasn't blown coverage. Despite having two 1st-team all pros in their defensive backfield, the Chargers played majority seven DB zone coverage and generated little push with their front 4. Brady just methodically picked them apart.
The Chargers defense today was AWFUL, both schematically and execution-wise.
I expect the Chiefs to play a lot of man on the backend and their front 4 includes Jones, Houston, and Ford. So basically the opposite of what the Chargers did.
