Each year's different. It's possible the Chiefs O-Line suddenly got light years better at run blocking. It's possible the Pats D suddenly got significantly worse at stopping the run.
That's why we need more data points. It never made much sense to me that least year's team was a bad run-blocking team but the eyes and the metrics (especially after Ehinger went down) sure supported it. This team has the size/strength/athleticism on its OL to be an outstanding run blocking unit but I have a hard time just taking that on faith right now.

They're a full ZBS ol now with dudes that are athletes. I think big strong dl will still give them fits but they've improved there for sure.
Biggest thing I think improved is a rb with vision. As much as I like ware it seems Hunt just has a better feel for when to go and when to not
