The Kansas City Chiefs enter their contest against the defending Super Bowl champion New England on Sunday still searching for a defense.
The Chiefs dropped a 23-16 decision to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week due to their inability to stop Mark Brunell. The Chiefs' defense was unable to stop the Jaguars, allowing 447 total yards, including 320 through the air. Vermeil knows exactly what is wrong with his struggling defense.
"First off, defensive tackling. Obviously, we haven't done a good enough job of coaching tackling because we have too many guys allowing yardage," said Vermeil. "They're hitting them and their spinning off and making two or three yards and someone has to finish them off. So, we've got to become sharper in our tackling, especially in our secondary. That's a big thing right there."
