1. Teams are are behind tend to have MORE success running the ball because it's less expected. Teams that are ahead are playing to defend the big pass play. Your argument that being ahead results in a better run defense PER RUSH makes no sense.

2. Rushing yards per GAME is an irrelevant stat. I ignore it, as I do all "per game" statistics. They're nearly meaningless.

3. Chiefs are allowing more than half a yard MORE PER RUSH than the Patriots.

4. As shown in my post, the Patriots have played three superb running teams (Seattle, St. Louis, Jets (all averaging 4.5+ yards per rush), three average/solid run teams (Indy, Steelers, Arizona (right around 4.0 per rush), and 3 mediocre running teams (Miami and Buff x2). The Chiefs have played 2 superb, 5 average, and 2 mediocre running teams. That's pretty close to a wash.
