With Andy Reid, concluding this off of rushing attempts probably isn't all that on point. The offense became more efficient during the win streak.. which means they were bound to be having more offensive plays per game with the sustained drives.

By the numbers, KC ran the ball well enough in 3 of the first 5 games.. some may say 4 out of 5. The problem early on that I recall.. and that Football Outsiders noted during that time.. was that KC was in the lower tier of teams in rush success rate.. which was an indication of poor consistency ( could and did rip off some nice gainers, but mixed with plenty of runs stuffed ). I blame this on Andy's play selections as much as the OL blocking.

I do like the idea of a balanced offense though. I'm frequently complaining about the lack of Anthony Sherman leading the way too.
