Mellinger: Chiefs are built for an era thats past.....

You can still win divisions and playoff games with a good running attack. The Texans and Broncos led the league in rushing last year and they both won a playoff game with QBs who aren't very good. The Ravens, Jets, Niners have all had success running the football. The Niners were one of the best run defenses ever, and they almost went to a Super Bowl. The Giants averaged 89 yards rushing a game, but they also went 9-7 and barely made the playoffs. Once in the playoffs, they averaged over 116 rushing yards a game. Not great but servicable. Meanwhile the high flying Packers, Saints and Lions didn't even make the league championship game. Numbers are what you make of them. You absolutely have to have the QB to make the key plays and win the whole thing... but being able to run the ball or playing good D to have a balanced team is still a good thing.
