Tillery was the best pass rusher on the team. Better than the rest of the DL players on the team were, or is currently. He's better at it than Justin Jones and Linvel Joseph were. Joseph had no pass rush with the Chargers, he came off the field in those situations. Jones wasn't really much of a pass rusher, he was a clean-up one. He got clean-up sacks and wasn't a pocket pusher. Tillery came up big in the KC game in week 3 when they won. He got a big sack against the Broncos in the second meeting and after that moment the team never let up against Denver.
The run defense was historically bad. 30th in run stopping. Last in the league on third down defense. Those are just of a couple of things, there's more. You don't have a historically bad defense just because of one guy. Joseph and Jones contributed to the problem too. Joseph was washed up. Jones is overrated by many fans and his run defense wasn't that great.
