The Chiefs showed pretty good balance in their last game. And, they are average 160 yards per game rushing and 160 passing. When you can run it as well as the Chiefs do. When your special teams and defense play very well. And, when the only time you have trailed in a game by more than four points is for about 3 and half minutes of the first quarter of the first game.... you don't have to pass that much.
I imagine the Chiefs could be challenged this week to throw the ball more. I don't know though, because the Chiefs have a great running game, and they may not have to go to the air that much.
I know Cassel will be tested in Houston because their run defense is stout.
I know I would rather run the ball 160 and throw it 160 versus throwing it for 380 and running for 50.
Just me though.

Stats are stats and that nice game vs the 49ers inflate your passing numbers a touch, but they are what they are. KC has a fine ground game, but through 3 games - I don't think you would really call KC's offense consistently balanced.
SD (as we said before the season) has the best potential to put a balanced attack out on the field more consistently than any other team in the division. They historically start slow.
