The best part about NE's pass defense is that the front works extremely well with the backend. The pass rush is clearly there, and the secondary has been phenomenal.
The same can't be said of the Chiefs' defense. Their pass rush has been good, but their coverage has been weak. A good pass rush is not enough to stop this offense when it is operating at peak potential. You need elite cover guys at LB, CB, and S. On top of that, if you can't stop the run, nor the pass, Brady will kill you with play action.

You're starting to divert here...
The difference in pass rush % is negligible. We are pointing that out. On top of that, we are 1st in the league in sacks. You guys are 31st. We also have 10 more sacks at home than we do on the road. Put that all together and KC's front line is more effective. It doesn't mean that NE's is bad, it just means that KC's is better.
Plus, as mentioned numerous times (but I have yet to see you address it), KC plays much better defense at home and NE plays much worse on the road.
