The Kansas City Chiefs are in the midst of their bye week, holding an impressive 7-2 record after nine games. The defense has rightfully received plenty of praise for the excellent start to the season, as it was acknowledged recently by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The reigning NFL Most Valuable Player made the bold statement of calling the Chiefs defense the best in the league following their 21-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Berlin, Germany. The declaration wasn’t unanimous amongst the rest of the league, as immediately, 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel provided his commentary. Samuel appeared on Tuesday’s episode of the “Up & Adams Show.” to disagree with Mahomes’ statement while speaking with hist Kay Adams.
“Suit yourself, man. I think everybody is going to think they’ve got the best offense in the league, best defense in the league,” said Samuel. “Why wouldn’t you? I’m going to say the same thing. I’m going to say we have the best offense in the league and the best defense in the league.”
The 49ers’ defense has continued to play well this season but hasn’t had the fanfare of the Chiefs unit, which is considered a surprise jump from past seasons. The two teams don’t meet each other this season, but there is always a possibility of a Super Bowl rematch in February.
