Solid article and well researched, Keys! On the Chiefs rushing attack it’s important to understand that they don’t base their offense on the run. They throw a lot of short/quick routes that often serve as a “run” on first down. In fact, this year’s team actually runs the ball better than last year’s.

2019: 1,569 yds, 4.2 ypc
2020: 1,799 yds, 4.5 ypc

There have definitely been red zone running woes this year, though. I’m still not sure if it’s a line issue or the fact that CEH has gotten the majority of red zone touches and isn’t the biggest guy. Bell fits the red zone runner role but hasn’t had a ton of opportunities yet.

Lastly, the fact that this year’s line ranks 11th is pretty impressive. All-pro guard LDT opted out and all pro-tackle Schwartz has been out since week 6. Even solid fill ins like Osemele were lost to injury after just a few games. Despite the injuries, the Chiefs have been able to open up some rushing lanes this season. The best example is the week 6 game that they lost Schwartz early in (one week after losing Osemele and Reiter DNP). Very cold, windy game in Buffalo so they committed to the run with 46 carries for 245 yards. I can’t remember them emphasizing the run that much in a game since Jamaal Charles.

Ultimately this year’s offense has definitely had some strange issues at times (a weird 1 for 18 on third down and 10+ stretch when they were averaging over 30% conversion in such scenarios!), but most of the woes appear short lived. Asking the Browns defense to slow down this Chiefs offense coming off of a bye is a tall task. Their best opportunity lies in establishing the ground game, erasing clock, and eliminating possessions. That and trying to exploit the KC defense with a few well timed deep balls when they overreact to stopping the run. All in all it should be a fun game to watch!

Like many, I am sure, I have no work Monday.

If not for the pandemic, my buddies and would be dropping some money to go to KC.

Oh well.

Not terrible if you go in a group of 4+.

Ticket prices literally double if you want to go with only 2.

Don’t think the pandemic is really all that much of a concern with the pod seating, don’t know your circumstances though.

Both my wife and I have jobs that require a quarantine upon return if we leave the state. We've not done a lot of stuff we really wanted to to not get sick. She's about to get her second dose and I'll get my first dose in a few weeks. Would be really stupid to be uber careful for 9 months only to blow it right at the end.

If I would do it for anything, it'd be a Browns playoff game, though.
