1st downs given up per game: 28th (only worse are Tampa, Oakland, Indy, and NE).
3rd down conversions given up: tied for 27th with Tennessee with 43% (only worse % are Minny, NE, SD, Indy).
Points given up this year (skewed by a few creampuffs):
Saints: 34
Panthers: 23
Bears: 17
Broncos: 23
Falcons: 14 (an actually respectable outing)
Rams: 3 (creampuff)
Vikings: 27
Chargers: 38
Vikings again: 7
Bucs: 26
Lions: 15
Giants: 35
Raiders: 16
If the Broncos can put up 23, the Vikes 27, and the Bucs 26, I don't see why the Chiefs can't. Especially because this game isn't at Lambeau. The Packers have already gone 13-0 and are heading home for the final two games, with the homefield advantage all but sewn up. The Chiefs will probably be taken lightly, given the HC firing and lack of a quality QB. If there's any time to get them, it's now.
