Kansas City’s Dominance Continues
In the NFL, only one team remains undefeated, and that’s the reigning champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. Last week, they faced a tough battle, needing overtime to clinch a 30-24 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As they return home, the Chiefs are aiming for better performance from their defensive unit, which currently allows the fourth-fewest points per game at 18.4 and the fifth-fewest yards at 293.6. The strength of their defense lies in their ability to control the line of scrimmage, limiting opponents to the second-fewest yards per carry (3.7) and the third-fewest rushing yards per game (83.9). They also restrict passing attacks to 6.7 yards per attempt, ranking 9th in the league.
On the offensive side, the Chiefs sit 10th in points scored (25.4) and total yards (352.5) per game. However, they struggle to establish a strong ground game, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry, placing them 29th in that category. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes ranks 10th in passing yards per game but is 18th in yards per attempt. The team has recorded 12 turnovers this season, contributing to a -4 turnover differential. Despite these challenges, they have scored over 21 points in seven of their eight contests. Will they maintain this scoring streak on Sunday?
