Offense
Run. The. Ball.
In Kansas City’s Week 1 win over the Houston Texans, Texans RB David Johnson carried the ball 11 times for 77 yards and one touchdown, doing much of his damage between the tackles. In the Chiefs’ overtime win over the Chargers in Week 2, L.A. RB Austin Ekeler carried the ball 16 times for 93 yards. Ekeler had a few nice runs to the outside but, like Johnson in Week 1, was able to gash the Kansas City defense right up the middle.
