The Chiefs have only had three games in their history with 10 or fewer pass attempts.
In 1968, Len Dawson went 2 of 3 for 16 yards as the Chiefs protected a 24-0 lead against the Raiders, winning 24-10. The Chiefs ran the ball 58 times, with three running backs getting 89 or more yards.
In 1969, the Chiefs intentionally dogged the last game of the season against the Raiders. I think Lenny was hurting in that game or something, and they knew they'd play the Raiders again in the playoffs. Lenny went 2 of 6 for 47 yards, with both passes going to his fullback. The Chiefs lost 10-6. They ran the ball 48 times.
In 1978, Mike Livingston went 7 of 10 for 89 yards and 1 interception as the Chiefs lost to the Broncos in overtime, 23-17. The Chiefs ran the ball 41 times and blew a fourth-quarter lead.
The Chiefs have had five opponents with less than 10 attempts against them, and the opponents won all five games.
1971 - NYJ won 13-10
1973 - LA Rams won 23-13
1974 - OAK won 7-6
1988 - SD won 24-13
2011 - DEN won 17-10. (Yes, it was Tebow. I think it was also the first appearance of Tyler Palko.)
