Kansas City’s Third Down Woes
Opponent Third down att. Third down conv. Final score
Baltimore 2 10 L, 38-24
Kansas City 5 15 L, 13-10
Philadelphia 0 11 L, 34-14
NYG 2 15 L, 27-16

Want a reason why Kansas City’s offense has been so putrid this season?

The Chiefs, ranked No. 31 in the NFL in offense (only Oakland trails), have been horrendous on third down. Kansas City has converted just nine of 51 third-down plays. That’s a scary 18 percent, is the worst in the NFL.

How can this team even think of winning a game if it continues this horrible average on third down? If you can’t sustain a drive, you are not going to score, thus, you are not going to win.

I believe the the Cowboys are going to blow this game wide open at some point during the game.

But when I read just how bad Kansas City has played, I really think the season will be over if the Cowboys lose.

Does this mean Terrence Newman will give up a 55+ yard TD on 3rd down? :eek::

They are horrible on 3rd down and our defense is the 5th best on 3rd downs.

Yeah, and our defense will look like three monkeys trying to **** a coconut chasing the receiver into the end zone.

Yeah if we sometime before Sunday sign some guy off the street named Terrence Newman.

But I know Terence Newman will likely be playing lockdown coverage.
