It's new post time!! Today we're going to take a look at Kansas City's offense. Tomorrow we'll get into the defense.

Really nothing threatening here. The only thing they seem to be particularly good at is averaging big gains when they run the ball. Also note that they are having kicking issues and are second to last in the league for field goal %. Guess who is last.

The Chiefs prefer to run the ball straight up the middle more than anywhere else and  by quite a large margin. Sedrick Ellis, Kendrick Clancy and Brian Young will have to step it up.

As much as the Chiefs like to run the ball up the middle they prefer going to the outside more often when they throw the ball.

Chiefs

After the game their passing rank and stats will be better and Thigpen would have looked like Montana.
