Pre-2022, the Chiefs ran the ball about 35% of the time, or about 25 times/game, give or take a couple reps. Towards the latter half of the 2022 season Andy started running the ball more, edging up towards and eventually past the 40% mark around the latter-half of 2023. Iirc, in the 2023 playoffs we were running around 45% of the time.
If Worthy and Rice work out as planned, and Travis has a normal season, I could see Andy returning to something like pre-2022 percentages, which would mean around 25-28 carries per game (or about 35-37%). Last edited by Megatron96; Today at 05:15 PM.. |

1st down is the best time to throw in football. Defense automatically gives you a slight cushion and you have space to call many different route trees. Your EPA at such time when you pass is the highest of any other down. Even if you run the ball 5% of the time on 1st down. That is enough.

I think when people talk about a 'power rushing game' they mean that WHEN we run the ball, we will be running with power backs. Which is fine, and perhaps will solve the years' long problem of 3rd and 4th and short that The Chiefs have had.
I don't think anybody is saying we should be running the ball 30 plus times a game (unless it's because we've got like a 4 TD lead in the 2nd quarter). But yes, we really do need to run the ball SOME, to make the defense play honest. You don't want them just teeing off on Mahomes. |
