The Chiefs worst rushing games were all against the top run defenses in yards per carry: Colts (6th), Broncos (12th), Bills (11th before injuries), Rams (13th), Titans, (1st). Seahawks were the only poor runs defense that the Chiefs struggled to run against.

We ran pretty well against the Raiders (21st) twice and they allowed fewer yards per carry than the Eagles. Same with the Buccaneers (20th). We even ran pretty well on the 49ers, who were 2nd.
I'll say it again - Trey Smith really is the lynchpin for our rungame. It goes as he goes. And he had his hands full with Reader and Hill. He is used for so many of those wham blocks, etc... that really pop open runs that when those big ol boys in the middle of the Bengals DL were able to hold him up, the whole thing collapsed on itself.

There's not much to take away from it, IMO.
