Matt Rhule and Dave Gettleman: "You win Superbowls by running the bull and stopping the run"

And they did it by running the ball successfully in the Super Bowl... weird.

Kansas City was ranked 29th in the NFL in stopping the run.  29th out of 32 teams.

But hey, what do those analytics geeks know about football with their pencil necks.

Their QB was their leading rusher in the post season.....

Fixed it for ya.

Passing that much only works when you have a QB and skill players like that. 
 

Play to your strengths is the lesson here.

You God damn right you have to run the bull.

42 pass attempts tonight, 29 runs (and 9 were by Mahomes on scrambles from passing situations).

We just have to find a Patrick Mahommes

People have to understand theirs not one way to win a SB.

 

This year the chiefs won it with passing, last year NE did it running and defense  the year before the eagles did it passing.
 

If you have a transcendent QB, you pass plain and simple

Did Rhule say that verbatim?

Correction, it only works if you have the talent to do it. Those WRs are on another level of good. Jimmy G was the better QB but Mahomes made it happen with a bit of luck, running the bull, and awesome WRs.

Not addressing the fact the Chiefs had the third worst defense against stopping the run in the NFL

Half of this manta is that 'stopping the run' is important, when all the analytics stress it's actually defending the passing game to be correlated with success.

Be all around good is more like it.
