Chiefs Calling Rain Man v. Career Day

Silock · 12-20-2009, 10:47 PM

How many times in the last decade have we given up a career day to an opposing offensive or special teams player? Is there a place to look that up, or do you just have these sorts of things on file?

I'm not Rain Man, but I can tell you that he typically uses http://www.pro-football-reference.com. Unfortunately, I don't know any real simple way to pull that particular type of stat out of there.

Here's a teaser of what I could glean direct from the (outdated as of 2008) PFR database. Here are the best rushing performances against the Chiefs since 1996.

Code:

Year	First		Last		opp	rushYD
2005	Tiki		Barber		kan	220
2003	Clinton		Portis		kan	218
2006	LaDainian	Tomlinson	kan	199
2006	LaDainian	Tomlinson	kan	199
2007	LaDainian	Tomlinson	kan	177
2004	DeShaun		Foster		kan	174
2008	Chris		Johnson		kan	168
2003	Rudi		Johnson		kan	165
2008	Darren		McFadden	kan	164
1998	Natrone		Means		kan	160
2004	Quentin		Griffin		kan	156
2007	Selvin		Young		kan	156
2001	Mike		Anderson	kan	155

DaFace is correct in that it'd be hard to do. The best estimate I can come up with at the moment is 24 opposing starters x 16 games per year x 10 years, or about 3,840 career days given up.

There are a few Ryan Leaf starts, of course, but that's probably offset by playoff games.

**DaFace** · 12-20-2009, 11:36 PM

I can't do 2009, but here are all of the games where the opposing rusher had over 100 yards, and their total yards were the highest in their career (since 1996).

Code:

Year	First	Last		opp	rushYD
1998	Natrone	Means		kan	160
2001	Stacey	Mack		kan	125
2004	Quentin	Griffin		kan	156
2004	DeShaun	Foster		kan	174
2007	Selvin	Young		kan	156
2007	T.J.	Duckett		kan	102
2008	Chris	Johnson		kan	168
2008	LenDale	White		kan	149
2008	Darren	McFadden	kan	164

The uptick in frequency in 2008 is concerning to say the least.

Those DV years playing in Denver made me wanna puke.

Brock · 12-20-2009, 11:38 PM

Also, Portis had 5 TDs in one game vs. the Chiefs.

your software knowledge has always been superior. I don't know chit about it, honestly.

**DaFace** · 12-20-2009, 11:51 PM

Here's "record" passing days against the Chiefs (for people with more than 100 yards):

Code:

Year	First	Last		opp	passYD
1996	Mike	Tomczak		kan	338
1997	Todd	Philcox		kan	116
1998	John	Elway		kan	400
2002	Tom	Brady		kan	410
2003	Marques	Tuiasosopo	kan	224
2004	Peyton	Manning		kan	472

Crazy that both Brady and Manning have their career records against us.

**DaFace** · 12-20-2009, 11:53 PM

And finally, record receiving days against the Chiefs (more than 100 yards):

Code:

Year	First	Last		opp	recYD
1997	Rae	Carruth		kan	110
1999	Jacquez	Green		kan	164
2002	Shannon	Sharpe		kan	214
2002	Koren	Robinson	kan	168
2002	Quincy	Morgan		kan	151
2002	Troy	Brown		kan	176
2003	Peter	Warrick		kan	114
2004	Ronald	Curry		kan	141
2004	Drew	Bennett		kan	233
2005	Santana	Moss		kan	173
2005	Antonio	Gates		kan	145
2005	Chris	Baker		kan	124
2006	Steven	Jackson		kan	133

K. That was mildly interesting. Good night.

Brock · 12-20-2009, 11:55 PM

Drew Bennett. Wow, I don't remember that one at all.
