Only in 1999 (in his 10th season as a head coach)...the Rams blew up did the offense do better than the defense... and that Rams defense was still 4th in the league. That's one of those "assumed" fallacies because the Rams defense went to crap, but that was only after DV left. Actually until he came to KC, Dick Vermeil had never, ever coached a football team that did not finish in the top 20 in either defensive yards or points allowed... for his career DV has had 6 top ten defenses and 5 top ten offenses (using points scored/allowed).

Not EVERY Chiefs fan is ignorant of this.
