Five Good Stats From The Kansas City Chiefs Victory Over The Buffalo Bills
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills 13-10 on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs finished it off in overtime and walked away with the victory so there's a positive vibe in KC today. As there always is, there were plenty of good stats for the Chiefs against the Bills.
Here are five good stats on the game and our game ball of the week.
274
That's the total amount of rushing yards for the Chiefs on Sunday against the Bills. They were able to move the ball up and down the field despite the passing game being non-existent. Somehow, they didn't score a rushing touchdown but they were still able to control the game through the rushing attack.
Jamaal Charles ended with 177 and Thomas Jones had 77. There weren't any huge runs as the Chiefs consistently beat the Bills on the ground.
3
That's the number of forced fumbles for the Chiefs. Yeah, they didn't recover any of them but it shows they're going after the ball trying to create turnovers.
If you create three forced fumbles in a game I imagine more often than not you'll recover at least one of them.
3
That's the number of punts Dustin Colquitt put inside the 20 yard line. He was impressive on Sunday and was one of the unsung heroes for the Chiefs. They controlled the field position throughout the game and Colquitt was a big part of that. Three of his six punts went inside the Bills 20 yard line.
As a reference, Bills punter Brian Moorman had none of his seven punts go inside the Chiefs 20 yard line.
3
Another three. The Chiefs sacked Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick three times on Sunday. Tamba Hali came up with half those adding to his season total. The Chiefs pass rush flushed Fitzpatrick out of the pocket several times -- he had six rushes in the game -- and they were consistent throughout the day.
I was happy with the pass rush on Sunday.
3.9
That is the Bills average gain per play on offense. The Bills couldn't run the ball consistently getting 137 yards on 33 carries. It's Ryan Fitzpatrick's six carries and 43 yards that are pumping that number up. After him the best rushing day came from Fred Jackson who had 64 yards on 20 carries. The Bills had 48 pass attempts and completed half of them for 223 yards. The Chiefs, for the most part, played tough defense and didn't give up a big play.
Game ball of the week
Could it be anyone other than Jamaal Charles? He ended with 177 on the ground and 61 receiving yards. That guy was good on Sunday.

I think that FO showed that they’re completely random and that coaches who say they have practiced recovring fumbles are BSing. Basically shows that if you create fumbles, you’ll recover about half of them.
God typed "iddqd" before creating Jason Heyward.
Interesting
Still bodes well for the Chiefs creating three of them. Odds apparently say they should recover 1.5 of those.

so, next week, they recover all 3
It's all about the gameplan

so...........how......do you recover half a fumble? :)
Winning begins with Attitude - Haley and Pioli will be winners in KC!
I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.
I think Vrabel showed us how
You put your elbow out of bounds when you jump on the ball.
Nice to see Colquitt get some revenge
Moorman has been doggin’ him the last few years
I'd rather be a free man in my grave than living as a puppet or a slave
Colquitt had 3 inside the 20?
Hmmm, I don’t have the stats at my disposal, but I thought he didn’t have his best game. I remember at least 1 touchback in a critital time when he needed to pin them deep. Again, ones eyes can be decieving.

Yeah
It was more about the Chiefs in general controlling the field position and Colquitt was part of that.

where did he come from, he was all over the place yesterday?
I think he just got to play more.
The views expressed by craig in calgary do not necessarily represent the views of all Canadians.
Study is heir-appearent to Vrabel
Study follows him around – learning from one of the best. He is remeniecent of Jared Allen in his rise from the shadows. The more he plays, the more you’ll see what I’m talking about.

5.25
That is the average yds per completion to a wide reciever. Cannot understand why they kept throwing underneath coverage when safetiesand LBs were in such short drops due to trying to stop our run game. You would think the open areas were behind and between LBs.
I’ll answer my own question: Too much fear of the interception with slightly riskier throw. It looks like Cassel has been told. 1) don’t throw INT. 2) Don’t get sacked. 3) don’t throw INT. 4) make sure that you see reciever open before you throw. 5) don’t throw INT. 6) Try and complte pass.
Granted ,we saw at least 3 downfield passes. And that was refreshing. But the balls seemed thrown late and well away from coverage to extent not even the guy in the red jersey had a play on the ball.
Caution and a low rate of INTs maybe a good thing , but, fear of failure is also preventing us from developing a real threat in Passing Game.

This goes under the title of "AWOFF"
Areas to Work On For the Future – I had to remind myself of a statement Haey made before the game about consentrating on making this a better team, week by week, month by month, and for next year. I don’t think Haley has illusions of a Super Bowl this year! He’s focusing on what they’re good at NOW, and experimenting a little from time to time. I don’t think he’s following the strict Edwards theme, “We play to win the game.” It’s more like, “We play to learn and get better.”

whew we were close on this one!

The points scored by Oakland in their last two games.
Off topic…I know.
Chiefs will. But...will Cassel?
10 + wins in 2010. Chiefs SHOCK the NFL!!! Mark it down.
then its a trap game
FOR OAKLAND!

...and 500 yards of offense in back-to-back games.

I'm not sure playing the divisional leader constitutes as a "trap game"

hey why are we talking about this anyways?
shouldn’t we be on the front page discussing Brett Favre and the Cowboys?
I mean honestly Im done with the fucking pregame shows, nothing this week but garbage.
They had the nerve to come out and say “ohhh yeah Oakland is so legit, to legit to quit on them now, everyone better watch out”
Then they say “meh KC still hasn’t shown me anything, not with their two blowout wins, and a few nailbiters.”
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
At halftime during SNF, there was good piece on the KC/Oak rivalry
There is plenty of mainstream love going toward the Chiefs, I’m not sure what you are watching. I haven’t seen a bad thing said about the Chiefs year, outside of the Nationally Publicated Walter Football.
I don’t get why the Cowboys or Vikings are still getting any coverage, those teams are irrelevant. Hopefully that changes this week.

im not so much gripping about the lack of love towards KC
just the fact that they continually forcefeed this Favre/Trouble in “Big D”/Jerry Jones/Romo/Favre’s ankle/why the Boys in BigD thought they were going to play the Superbowl in their own home crap every Sunday.
The thing that gets me about the Chiefs, is that while I know we still have to prove to everyone, and that is going to take the ENTIRE season to do, its funny how announcers can come on and say “Oakland is back without a doubt” after their two wins, and still say they are iffy about us.
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
gripping should be gripeing or bitching or however you spell it!
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
Dude I feel ya NFL network loves the cowboys its breaks their heart to see their playoff hopes gone then once that’s done onto Brett. Ugh I can’t watch any sports shows anymore cause its literally the cowboys and favre!

Because the Cowboys are one of the most high-profile teams in the league
And most every football fan is either a Cowboy fan, or a Cowboy hater (put me in the latter). Basically that team causes emotion (just like Favre coverage) so any coverage of them is going to raise national ratings. I don’t like it either, but that’s the way it is.
Predictions:
This year IS be better.
oh, and...
Todd Haley doesn't give a damn about your fantasy team.
well they wont be getting any ratings from me anymore.
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
Not that I watch that stuff to begin with...
…but that’s actually the quickest way for me to change the channel if I do happen to have it on one of those shows. Farve or the Cowboys show up, I’m done with it. Moving on to better stuff.
Obviously...my math skills suck.
At least I added 14 + 3 correctly. I think.
Chiefs will. But...will Cassel?
10 + wins in 2010. Chiefs SHOCK the NFL!!! Mark it down.
Charles is on pace for a 1500 yard rushing season, as a part-time back
It’ll be tough for him to get there, but that’s pretty incredible.
Predictions:
This year IS be better.
oh, and...
Todd Haley doesn't give a damn about your fantasy team.
Yeah, it will be tough.
But, he is one incredible running back.
Jones is on pace for 1100-1200 too.
Awesome. I think they’ll both get there.

Number of games I have attended this year
Also, the same number of games we won, while I was in attendence this year
Also, our standings in the AFC West
Our ranking in rushing offense
+1 for the CPA :)

The Bills are 0-7 so conventional wisdom says they aren't very good, but
until they win A game, EVERY game is the Super Bowl for them, and that makes them dangerous.
Good job on the win, and on leading your division.

When you start with Brady and Welker on Offense, and Wilfork and Meriweather on Defense
You can’t really call rebuilding.
Reloading … yeah, I like that.

Actually,
This is the second year of the Pioli-Haley rebuild… but half of it was the youth brought in by Edwards over 3 years ago: Flowers, Carr, Charles, Bowe, Dorsey!
That's similar to Belichick's rebuild of the Pats
He might’ve drafted his franchise QB in his first year at the Pats, but Belichick still inherited plenty of guys that were crucial – Kevin Faulk, Troy Brown, Tedy Bruschi, Willie McGinest. What he did do was find ways to use them – Faulk went from bust as feature back into best 3rd down back in the league, Troy Brown played, well, everything up to and including CB, Bruschi became a great 3-4 ILB when Hoodie shifted to 3-4 in 2001, McGinest went from 4-3 DE to 3-4 OLB in the same timeframe.
That Pioli-Haley rebuild looks rather familiar…
Token southern hemisphere guy - 14,688km from Foxboro. That's 9128 miles, for you heathens.

rec'd!!

Tucker might as well see the field instead of Chambers
At least he could use the play time

how about
- 414 offensive yards
- 0 turnovers given, 1 taken
- 14 passes completed… but 10 for first downs, giving the team 14 rushing first downs, 10 passing… that sounds like better balance than you’d think
and, of course, the only stat that really matters
5-2, still 1st place in the AFC West

Cowboys and Vikings
Just remember, they may get a lot of press but look at their records. You don’t hear a lot about the Patriots and they have the best record in the league, and we are only one game off that pace. Let the Cowboys and Vikings get the press, I would rather quietly go about our business and keep improving. Which is what appears to be happening. It’s a good thing.
