That certainly didn't help. I wouldn't sit here and act like you did your job in covering their only real offensive threat, but a good OC would try and take the pressure off of any defense playing KC by running some clock off, especially with a 30 point lead...genius.
KCs run defense is not good, and statistically it is helped dramatically by all the sacks they rack up. And conversely the pass defense is much better than it looks statistically because of that. You guys ran at a 62% success rate and 70% rushing the ball inside. When a QB is getting hammered all game, it wears him down and then at the end of the game you can't complete anything, and you have 3 and outs, and the defense gets tired. 4th quarter TOP was 12:30-2:30 and the offense had a total of 9 plays. Sure, the passing game was effective early, but moving over the running game with that lead against that team would have won you guys the game.
