Will Bills Veteran Shock Chiefs With Emergency Role?
The Kansas City Chiefs have been hit hard by injuries in their secondary, and they may be forced to turn to a veteran player to fill a key role
The Chiefs have lost starting safety Tyrann Mathieu to a concussion, and they are also without cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, who is dealing with a hip injury. This has left the Chiefs thin in the secondary, and they may be forced to turn to veteran safety Dean Marlowe to fill a starting role.
Marlowe has been with the Bills since 2019, but he has never been a full-time starter. However, he has played in 32 games over the past three seasons, and he has made 21 tackles and two interceptions.
The Chiefs are hoping that Marlowe can step up and fill the void left by Mathieu. Marlowe is a versatile player who can play both safety and cornerback, and he has experience playing in a variety of schemes. He is also a good tackler and has a knack for making big plays.
If Marlowe can play well in the Chiefs' secondary, it will be a big boost to their defense. The Chiefs are already one of the best teams in the NFL, and adding a veteran player like Marlowe to their defense will only make them stronger.
The Chiefs will host the Bills in Week 6, and it will be interesting to see if Marlowe is able to make an impact in his new role. The Bills have a high-powered offense led by quarterback Josh Allen, and the Chiefs will need to be at their best to slow them down.
