  • Kansas City Chiefs right tackle Mitchell Schwartz had flawless night in pass protection Sunday Night, not allowing a single pressure on 42 pass-blocking snaps, helping the Chiefs move to 5-0 on the year.
  • Schwartz, whose night was made a bit easier by the devastating injury to J.J. Watt after only seven pass-rushing snaps, did face Jadeveon Clowney on six of his pass-rushing snaps and Whitney Mercilus on one of his (prior to injury), so no asterisks need to be applied to his perfect game.
  • The Chiefs, missing three starters along the offensive line, really needed a big night from Schwartz, who delivered as a run blocker as well, elevating his grade in that department to 82.4, good for 10th at his position this season.
