THE BLITZ projects the Kansas City Chiefs as the least run-centric team among all teams this week with a 34.2% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.THE BLITZ projects Clyde Edwards-Helaire to be a much smaller piece of his team's running game this week (36.4% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (47.4% in games he has played).The Buffalo Bills defensive ends profile as the 5th-best DE corps in the league this year in regard to defending the run.The Buffalo Bills have stacked the box vs. opponents on 19.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-most in football. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.The Kansas City Chiefs have gone no-huddle on a mere 1.8% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (least in the NFL). This slows the pace, resulting in less volume and stat-padding.
