With three sacks in Monday night’s 20-17 win over the New York Giants at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs are no longer last in the NFL in that statistical category.

However, they have just 11 sacks on the season, which ranks 31st.

In an attempt to beef up the pass rush, the Chiefs traded for the Steelers’ Melvin Ingram, the former Chargers star. The Chiefs sent a sixth-round draft pick to the Steelers.

Do you like the deal for the 32-year-old Ingram, who has 50 career sacks including one this season?
