But in the respective number of drives isn't the issue because the Bucs taking long, time consuming drives limits their numbers as well. It's isn't a comparison between the teams but a comparison between the respective weeks.
Getting 7 offensive series in a game is awful. 9 should really be the lowest acceptable number and that's if neither side is playing great offense. A standard defensive battle should really be around 9 drives. But when you just cannot get a team off the field until they've driven deep into your own territory, your offense isn't going to ever get on the field. The defense allowing the Bucs into Chiefs territory on every drive yesterday is the worst stat to come out of that game. The offense led 2 sustained drives for scores. The offense put up 19 despite NO help from the D. The offense still wasn't good, but the defense was absolutely worse.

Why didn't the Chiefs offense make any long time consuming drives, and maybe even, god forbid, score more than 17 points? The Chiefs defense played like ass, but they still held the other team to 19 points. That should be enough to win if our offense wasn't a dumpster fire. Every now and then, the offense needs to win a game for us, instead of relying on the defense every damn game.
