THE BLITZ projects the Kansas City Chiefs to be the 6th-least run-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 36.3% run rate, based on 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 lead to higher pass volume, reduced running volume, and improved passing offense effectiveness when facing better conditions in this week's game.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.The Kansas City Chiefs have gone no-huddle on a measly 1.8% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (least in the NFL). This slows down the pace, resulting in less volume and stat-padding.The Kansas City Chiefs have risked going for it on 4th down a lowly 15.8% of the time since the start of last season (9th-least in football), which typically means less offensive volume, less touchdown potential, and lower offensive stats across the board.
