7. Kansas City Chiefs D/ST (40.9%)

Welcome to the spotlight, Justin Houston.

Houston and the Chiefs D shut down the high-flying Eagles on Thursday night giving them their second 20+ point performance of the three-week season. Houston alone had 4 1/2 sacks, a forced fumble, and three passes defended as the Chiefs forced five turnovers, scored a touchdown, and dropped the slippery Michael Vick six times.

The young, hungry defense led by Derrick Johnson, Eric Berry, and Houston will come back to Arrowhead Stadium as they face the Giants this week. New York looked like a total mess in week 2 as they got shut out on the road in Carolina. Eli Manning was sacked seven times and threw a pair of picks, and the Giants also lost a Louis Murphy fumble. The Chiefs D and crowd will be fird up to attack Eli and should pile up sacks and pressures as well as creating turnovers.
