Chiefs fans’ confidence

After three consecutive weeks polling 95% or higher, fans of the Kansas City Chiefs dramatically lost confidence in the direction of the team after the 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills. With a 5-4 record at the season’s midway point, Chiefs’ fan confidence is at the lowest since fans were polled after the 0-2 start to the year.

What needs to be worked on over the bye?

Picking from four aspects of the team, Chiefs’ fans voted overwhelmingly for the defense’s pass rush as the area most needing to improve over the bye week. According to Pro Football Reference, the Chiefs rank 26th in team pressure rate.
