THE BLITZ projects the Kansas City Chiefs as the 3rd-least run-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 36.4% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.The Kansas City Chiefs have played in the 2nd-most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in football since the start of last season, which ought to result in higher pass volume, reduced running volume, and improved passing offense results when facing better conditions in this game.The Kansas City Chiefs have gone no-huddle on a lowly 1.8% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (least in the NFL). This deadens the pace, resulting in less volume and stat-padding.The Kansas City Chiefs have gone for it on 4th down a lowly 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.
