For Pete's Sake

Kansas City fans celebrate effort by Chiefs defense in victory over Dallas Cowboys

Dallas is known as “Big D,” but on Sunday it was the Chiefs who had the Big D.

The Chiefs defense stifled the NFL’s No. 1 offense, keeping the Cowboys out of the end zone in Kansas City’s 19-9 win at Arrowhead Stadium.

Chiefs fans, who earlier in the season were upset with the defense’s struggles, were thrilled by what they saw. Here is a sample of what they were saying on Twitter and Reddit.

One Reddit user wrote: “How about that defense! We’re back”

Another wrote: “I never thought I’d say this… but our defense won that game for us”

A Reddit user wrote: “Our defense went from the worst in the league to easily top 5 imo. Absolutely insanely dominant the last few games. You love to see it. LFG”

Another wrote: “The number 1 offense in the league didn’t score a single TD against our defense. Imagine saying that a few weeks ago.”
