Defense Wins Again — And What the Chiefs Must Learn From Super Bowl 60

Pass rush problems, Trent McDuffie’s future, and why the NFL’s scheme wars have officially swung back to defense

The NFL season is officially over — and if Super Bowl 60 proved anything, it’s that defense isn’t just back… it’s dictating terms.

On this episode of Only Weird Games, Josh Brisco, Seth Keysor, and Nate Taylor unpack what the Seahawks’ defensive masterclass means for the Chiefs moving forward. From Mike Macdonald’s relentless use of stunts and disguises to the growing importance of versatile slot defenders, the guys break down how the league’s scheme wars have shifted — and why offenses are struggling to keep up.

But this isn’t just theory. The Chiefs finished 29th on third down defense. Too often, it came down to one reality: if opponents blocked Chris Jones, the play worked. That’s a problem.

The conversation then turns to a fascinating offseason dilemma: Trent McDuffie. Do you extend a blue-chip foundational defender? Or consider moving him to address the pass rush that clearly must improve?

This episode blends film insight, roster-building philosophy, and just enough weird offseason energy to carry you through the football void. If you care about where the Chiefs — and the NFL — are headed next, this one’s worth your time.
