Now, you can think takeaways directly correlate to winning through having a sizable amount of interceptions in a season.. but surely that has nothing to do with late game situations where the opposing offense is forced to pass in order to make up 7+ points in a fourth quarter situation, right?

According to ESPN and TEAMRANKINGS, the Chiefs were 16th in offensive PPG.
Outsiders has KC at 12th best for PPD (points per drive).
They also have KC at 14th in pass rank.
You can call that bleh average all you want, but with a bottom 10 OL and bottom 10 WRs? That's not so bad.

Then you came in.
So, to sum up: One person was responding to a question about scoring (PPG, with the wrong PPG ranking), by citing some things that would have a tendency to limit scoring, and one of those is a lack of turnovers created.
Do us all a favor and read the threads, or at least read the thread trails you want to comment about, before you post.
