Judging pass rushes in a vacuum doesn't make sense. I am a child of the 80's and one of the best examples of why not to judge pass rushes in a vacuum is arguably the Bears vs the Dolphins in I believe 1985 on MNF. Bears had one of the most intimidating defenses/pass rushes of the 1980's. Teams usually did nothing against them during the year they only lost 1 game.
Miami with Marino had a QB that could get rid of the ball quickly and wide receivers who may not have had great size but they could get down the field quickly and were hard to cover. Bears weakness exposed and Miami pulls off the upset.
If KC can really cover well(Edelman, White, et cetera) in this game and are even reasonable at slowing down Patriots running game, Patriots in all likelihood lose the game.
