Spoiler!

After the Chiefs ended the 2017 season with another frustrating playoff loss — this time a 22-21 home defeat at the hands of the Tennessee Titans in the Wild Card Round — there was no shortage of potential goats.

One of the most prominent, at least in the eyes of some, was defensive coordinator Bob Sutton, whose defense blew an 18-point second half lead against the Titans and has surrendered an average of 186 rushing yards in the Chiefs’ last two playoff games, both losses.

But on Wednesday at the Senior Bowl, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he plans to keep Sutton in his role for the 2018 season.

“There’s nothing going on there,” Reid said, when asked directly if Sutton will return as defensive coordinator. “I know everybody has their opinion on everything, just like they did when they wanted me to bench Alex. That turned out pretty good.

“So (replacing Sutton) is not where I’m at or have ever been. I don’t listen to any of that. I do what I think is right for the Kansas City Chiefs.”

Since Sutton arrived in Kansas City with Reid in 2013, the Chiefs have ranked 24th, seventh, seventh, 24th and 28th in total defense. In 2017, they also ranked 29th in pass defense and 25th in rushing defense.

However, though lots of key injuries affected the production on that side of the ball this season (including ones to team leader Eric Berry and 2016 sack- and pressure-leader Dee Ford), and Reid has long made a habit of attributing the team’s shortcomings to the whole, rather than one individual.
