The Chiefs’ run game has been anemic—here’s why it matters

Kansas City’s path back to the playoffs in 2026 isn’t just about Mahomes. The running game has been missing for years. • Anemic rushing isn’t fixed by “not needing it”—it changes everything • Low carry volume limits yardage, but it also hasn’t produced big runs per attempt • Play design matters, but so does the offense’s ability to create balance • With the best QB in football, the run game should not be this ineffective • The real question: how do they get the run game back to normal—or close? Do you think a better run game is the key to winning tight games again? Drop your take. #KansasCityChiefs #NFLPlayoffs #FootballAnalysis
