If we're going to talk about rushing defense, we might as well throw in the little pearl about how the majority of rushing yards we surrender comes on draws on 3rd and long.

And no, our offense has in no way been forcing teams to be one-dimensional. At least not so far.

Much more impressive is our third/fourth down defense allowing a new set of downs just slightly more than once every five times. Ultimately, that stat is more indicative of how the defense is playing (instead of a bunch of garbage yards or three broken plays that account for 25% of all the yards allowed on the ground.

Denver comes off the bye, travels to San Diego... then home for the Chiefs, then on the road at NE and then on the road at KC? It's a travesty of monumental proportions... KC is just getting all sorts of breaks there. Unreal - happens every year.




:D ROFL (tried my best TEX impersonation)

Yes, the Chiefs put up 14 points in the 4th quarter vs NY to make it look totally silly, but it was close for quite a while.

KC has 9 offensive TDs in 4 games against crappy teams... and it's not like they've been "holding back".

How would you like to slice it?

Defenses for DEN and KC through 4 games:

Rushing Attempts Against / Yards Allowed / Rushing TDs Allowed / YPC Allowed

92 / 296 / 4 / 3.2
87 / 470 / 1 / 5.4

Congrats on owning 1 of those 4 stat lines. KC has seen 5 fewer rushes, while giving up 174 more yards...

Why would teams not be able to afford to have a lot of running plays against the Chiefs? It's not like KC's O is leaving anyone in the dust.

Other than the Jags game, all of our games have been relatively close at halftime.

DAL: Down 10-7
PHI: Ahead 16-6

But, its not how you start, its how you finish. And the Chiefs are brutal in the second half on folks.
