We aren't running the ball well and teams are intentionally looking to shut it down at this point because they just aren't scared of us attacking the safeties with the pass.
Honestly, the answer is easily "Throw it deep!" as much as it is "Run the ball" -- we have got to start making them pay for the aggressive boxes they're sending at us. And no, if the best we can do on 20 carries is to run for 75 yards, we don't need to be running the ball more either. ESPECIALLY not when we're throwing for about 5.5 yards/attempt at the same time.

Oh of course. I don't want to run the ball more to win. I want to run the ball more so Patrick Mahomes doesn't get hurt and we might still win. In the playoffs chuck the ball --- except on short yardage and in goalline which we pass way too often.
