KC Chiefs: Four things to watch vs Indianapolis Colts in week five
Once again the Chiefs defense gave up run play after run play in their match-up against the Lions.
Putting the tanking Miami Dolphins aside, the Chiefs currently have the worst run defense in the NFL. Giving up a league high 5.9 average yards per carry along with 149.8 average yards per game, the Colts run first offense will looking to be a force in the ground game keeping Mahomes off the field as much as possible.
With talented running backs Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines leading the charge out of the backfield, The Chiefs will need to yet prove they can slow this duo down. The Colts are currently averaging 132.5 (4.6 per carry) yards a game on the ground, which ranks seventh in the league. .
Forcing the Colts to become one dimensional behind the arm of Jacoby Brissett should weight heavy on slowing down the run game. The fourth year quarterback was forced to step in and take the lead job for Indy since the surprising retirement of Andrew Luck.
