This year, the Chiefs have returned four interceptions for touchdowns, and also scored via a fumble return, kickoff return, and punt return. That’s seven non-offensive touchdowns for Kansas City, the most in the league. In addition, Kansas City hasn’t allowed a single non-offensive touchdown, so the Chiefs obviously lead the league in net non-offensive touchdowns.


That’s a remarkable number: in fact, over the course of NFL history, only a handful of teams have been at +8 for the season. One of those, though, was this Chiefs team three years ago.


The 2013 Chiefs scored 11 NO tds and gave up zero for a net of 11 the highest in history. I think giving up non-offensive touchdowns is just a knife in the gut. I think as chief fans we are spoiled by not remembering that.

It is a skill. And, its also luck. It can be both

I agree with this you can create your own luck. Sometimes the ball bounces your way for a fumble recovery but other times it bounces other way and offense recovers it but the fact is you forced a fumble creating opportunity for a fumble recover. Something like that I suppose.


Although we have a knack for creating turnovers we still need our offense to do their part for when the time comes other teams aren't prone to make mistakes that our defense can pounce on. NE for one isn't about to just turn the ball over and say here you go Kansas City take it to the house.

Our offense has to find ways to reach the endzone and score touchdowns if we are going make any headway in the playoffs.
