Overview

• Through two games, Chiefs running backs have 94 rushing yards on 28 attempts, while Patrick Mahomes leads the team with 123 yards on scrambles, contributing to 219 team rushing yards at 5.1 yards per carry.
• Matt Nagy says the offense is still defining its identity and does not plan a forced redistribution of carries, though he will ride a hot hand if one emerges.
• Kansas City ranks 26th in rush yards over expected (-0.64 per rush) and 26th in yards before contact (1.59), with the offensive line 31st in run block win rate at 64%.
• A failed fourth-and-1 trap call against the Eagles underscored execution issues, and coaches and linemen pointed to fundamentals and cohesion with new starters as focus areas.
• The Giants are viewed as a potential get-right matchup after allowing 220 and 135 rushing yards in their first two games, and the Chiefs’ most effective gains have come on under-center ‘breather’ runs into light boxes.
