In this 2004 season everyone keeps discussing, they did have Terrell Owens and threw downfield as much as Reid ever has. They also targeted the running backs 148 times that year. By my rough count... the next year with TO they targeted the RBs 157 times. The first year without TO, they attempted 161 passes to the RBs.

Last year, the Chiefs targeted the RBs about 90 times. Now we've replaced some of those attempts by funneling them to Tyreek... but the basic idea is the same. Tons of short passes and getting guys in space.

in all fairness, the eagles had Brian Westbrook. Why wouldn't you feed him a ton of touches?
