I do find it interesting that out of 15 games this year the Chiefs have been leading at halftime in 9, and have won 8 of those games. In the 5 losses, we were ahead at halftime once, tied once, and behind 3 times.
So if you want to look at the bright side, it's fair to say this is not a team that is going to surrender a lead very often. It makes sense, the team is ideally built to hold a lead. But if you are a member of the CP brain trust, you'd look at the 6 times we weren't winning at the half and see that we only won 2 of those games, and pronounce that we're doomed the first time we fall behind early.
I'm not sure how much you can read into just this. You'd have to look at how many pass plays vs run plays are called in each half when ahead vs when behind, and because it's Andy Reid, you'd have to find some way to judge how conservative a play is. A pass might just be one of the lame screens he calls all the time and actually not be a more aggressive call than a run play.
