The leading projections forecast the Chiefs to be the 2nd-most pass-heavy team in the NFL (context-neutralized) right now with a 65.8% pass rate.In regards to air yards, Samaje Perine grades out in the lofty 85th percentile among RBs this year, totaling a colossal 2.0 per game. (as a result of being targeted behind the line of scrimmage, that is far more remarkable than it sounds since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).As it relates to pass-blocking (and the strong impact it has on all pass attack statistics), the offensive line of the Kansas City Chiefs profiles as the best in the NFL this year.This year, the shaky Carolina Panthers defense has been gouged for the 6th-most adjusted yards-per-target in the NFL to opposing RBs: a staggering 7.34 yards.The Panthers safeties rank as the 5th-worst unit in football this year in covering pass-catchers.
