Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton spoke to reporters after Sunday night’s game to discuss the defense’s mentality in the victory over the New York Giants.
“Our mindset today (Sunday) was to keep them out of the end zone. Mindset is they don’t get in the end zone, should win the football game,” said Bolton, “So that’s our mindset, and that’s kind of how we’ve been approaching it every single week, not really worried about offense or special teams. Kind of doing our end of the bargain, keeping teams out of the end zone. Also, playing better in the red zone; we did a good job of that this week. And then third down and fourth down, obviously, I think we did better.”

The Giants were kept out of the endzone, and the Chiefs’ defense secured multiple sacks and takeaways. The once explosive New York offense struggled with Russell Wilson unable to connect with Malik Nabers.
Bolton finished the game with six tackles and eight were assisted in the unit’s most dominant performance this season.
