Every team in the NFL has strengths and weaknesses, tendencies, and go-to guys. They have plays they like to call during tight situations or directions they like to run when in the middle of the field.
This post will attempt to provide information on the upcoming opponents tendencies when running or passing the ball. Where does the opponent like to pass the ball? Short left, long right, long to the middle of the field?
Let's find out how the Packers tendencies match up with Kansas Cities Strengths and weaknesses.

Packers Rushing Notes:
- According to the stats above, the Packers like to run toward the tackles and ends.
- Most of the Packers success running the ball has been off the left side of the formation: 4 to 5 yards a carry. That means the Chiefs like Hali and Dorsey may see a lot of action in the first couple of series. That might be a good thing because the Chiefs have only given up 2.75 yards per carry (6th in the NFL) on that side of the defense. Looks like a strength against strength match up.
- The Chiefs have given up 5.58 yards per carry when the opponent runs the ball at the left side of the defense. That's might not be good since the Packers like to run the ball off tackle and off end to both sides.
- Look for the Packers to attack the middle and left side of the Chiefs defense when running the ball. The Chiefs are 26th in the NFL (preseason) when the offense runs the ball at the offensive right guard.

- The Packers don't have one tendency over another when throwing it deep. Although they are more successful over the middle.
- Previous teams have like attacking the Chiefs in the short left zone. Opponents have went short left on the Chiefs 34 times.
- Look for the Packers to continue the trend of attacking the Chiefs short when passing the ball.
