Chiefs run defense will show true colors in season’s first quarter

It’s no secret that the Kansas City Chiefs struggled to stop the run in 2018. The unit allowed 132 yards per game at an alarming 5.0 yards per carry. It should be noted that the Chiefs were the only playoff team anywhere near the bottom of the NFL in that category.

Teams at the bottom of the standings are often congruent with the trait of struggling to stop the run. Not so with the Chiefs, who spent most of the season ahead in their games yet allowed ludicrous amounts of yards on the ground every week.
