If it holds up, it would be the worst mark in that category in the last 25 years.
Let that sink in for a second. Worst second half run defense in a quarter century.
For a franchise that supposedly spent all offseason trying to fix the defense, that is just hilariously pathetic. Like all you can do at this point is laugh. What a ****ing joke.

This is pretty bad. Rushing yards allowed is an underrated stat. People forget how a team can take control of game by being able to run the football late in the game. Its the simplest way to close out games, if you can do it. 90 rushing yards allowed in the 2nd half alone is a lot considering how many possessions you may have.
A team allowing 90 rushing yards in the 2nd half of games Id expect to be under .500. The Chiefs are not, but this is a horrible thing to be this bad at. The Chiefs have to take that step of once you get up early you got to step on the throat of teams, which they seldom do. They are vulnerable to more teams than they should be because of this.
