In the past five seasons, the Chiefs have averaged 75 punts. Through 6 games, they have punted 16 times, putting them on track for 43 this year. That's potentially 32 more possessions that will end with either a scoring drive or a turnover, and we know it's going to be a lot more of the former than the latter.
I know every season's different and maybe this year they have less possessions because the defense can't keep the other team off the field. I haven't dug into all of the numbers enough to know. But the six games they dropped last year were lost by an average of less than six points. Pat's ability to keep drives alive and score from friggin' anywhere is going to make the difference in the games we used to let slip away.
