The Chiefs' offense is a shadow of what they once were, which is why the Chiefs can't be too excited about facing arguably the best defense in the NFL. When the Chiefs run the ball:
You'll recall that the last time the Chiefs played the Ravens on Monday Night Football, the Chiefs won that game by frustrating the living daylights out of Ray Lewis. They did so by throwing lots of blockers in his direction. Most of the game, they had two or three blockers on him.
The equation should probably stay the same today: how many blockers can the Chiefs get to the second level? Granted, one of the major parts to that old equation was good ole' trusty Tony Richardson, who was about as good as it gets plowing into defenders on the second level. But most of the interior blockers that drove this power running game are still there, so I don't expect the Chiefs to stray too much from this strategy.
Expect a very, very heavy dosage of Larry Johnson.
