Take no risks on offense, hope that eventually our defense makes a big play. But as per thread OP topic, i don't think it's sustainable. Andy Reid will have to open the offense up, as least as much as he did against the Falcons, or we're dead in the playoffs. He also better do it from now on so that our offense gets used to it. In reality our playoffs are starting tomorrow. coming up for us: Raiders Titans Denver All competing for "our" playoff spot.

How many people have heard of the "toxic differential"? It's an interesting metric that combines turnover differential with big play differential. It's actually been a fairly accurate predictor of success in the NFL, although like any metric their are outliers.

Yes. It does seem to align pretty well with teams that have success.

I've seen it. Last I looked, we were in the middle of the pack overall and dead last in the division - mostly due to big play differential.

The question was asked earlier about takeaways in the 90's. Here is what I found on Kcchiefs.com
In 1999, Under Cunningham, Kansas City led the NFL with a +21 turnover ratio and won the NFL's turnover triple crown in the '90s with a remarkable +128 turnover ratio, a league-high 365 takeaways and an NFL-low 237 giveaways. The Chiefs also recorded 11 return TDs on the season, including a franchise-best nine on defense.

The league definitely hasn't changed since then

There isn't anything magical about the postseason. Plenty of teams have made runs feasting off TOs

Teams do turn the ball over in the postseason. But it is hard to imagine getting more than a couple. For KC we need turnovers deep in the opponent territory for our conservative O to get some easy points. The current trend seems to be the opposite I.e. Getting turnovers in our red zone so the offense has to drive down the field to take full advantage. That's where my skepticism is from. Where the turnover occurs seems more critical for our offense. That Denver game never goes into OT if we take full advantage of the muffed punt. Momentum would have completely swung our way had we scored.
