THE BLITZ projects the Kansas City Chiefs as the 2nd-least run-centric offense in the NFL near the end zone (context-neutralized) right now with a 35.9% red zone run rate.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.The Kansas City Chiefs have elected to go for it on 4th down just 15.8% of the time since the start of last season (9th-least in the NFL), which usually means less offensive volume, less TD potential, and lower offensive metrics across the board.
