Points per game season average below, minus the game vs. the Chiefs so as not to skew things. Scores against KC in parentheses.
Jacksonville - 9.6 (0)
Dallas - 27.6 (16)
Philadelphia - 27.6 (16)
New York - 18 (7)
so basically the Chiefs are holding their opponents two scores below their usual offensive output. I don't doubt that the Chargers can put up points against KC (especially with Rivers' long ball accuracy), but I fully expect them to cap out around 20-25. Chiefs are averaging 25.5, but as we know a good chunk of that has come from defense and special teams scores. Overall that seems to net out in favor of the Chiefs, especially if they can rattle Rivers early and watch him implode.
Point is, Chiefs have made a habit of cutting most offenses off well below their scoring average.
