Chiefs Run Defense: Better than you thought
Below is a nice statistical article that really defines the Chiefs run defense and why it seems that even when it is playing poorly, the world doesn't fall apart. Pretty great stuff, and it somewhat kills the narrative that the Chiefs are a 'bad' run defense.
http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2017/1...e-inconsistent Essentially, the summary of the OP's study is that even though the Chiefs don't get a lot of stuffs, they also are among the best in the league at preventing long running plays. They bend with the 5 yard runs, but do not break with 10+ yarders hardly ever. Good read and if you get the chance, take a look. |

They also seem to come up with stops in crucial situations. I don't feel quite the same dread on 3rd and short/medium that I have with Chiefs teams in the past.

Ranked 24th of 32 teams isn't something to be overly excited or proud about.

That sure has helped overcome weakness on both sides of the ball

It's not? CP told me a 24th passing offense lead by magnificent Alex Smith is not something the Chiefs should try to improve upon. We shouldn't try to improve on our run defense, either.

Our run D sucks monkey nuts...especially without DJ. I don't even need to see stats to back that up.
