Okay so fair enough, but not really. Let's look at like for like.
Scoring offense (because points are what matters)
Chiefs are 19th. Not 28th
Scoring defense (because points are what matters)
Chiefs are 5th - very good
now compare the same stat that people like to tout as 28th ranked offense..yards per game
Yards Per Game Offense:
Chiefs are 24th
Yards Per Game Defense:
Chiefs are 25th
So pick your poison but keep it consistent on both sides of the ball

Good post. Too many people (with an agenda) use yards to judge offense and points allowed to judge defense. Apples and oranges.
