If the chiefs give up 18 points to the broncos tonight...

[Jase]

We'll have the number 1 scoring defense in Points per game for at least a day.

 

 

I think it'll happen.

it is a certainty said the 8 ball

D does win championships but not when you're this bad on O.

[stankowalski]

I just checked ESPN and they are only giving up 4 less points over the year than we are...where are you getting these 18 points from?

ppg average

[ed bell]

They give up 18 or more we allow less ppg

[Captain Obvious]

because we don't throw the ball 50+ times a game does not mean we have a bad O.

I'm no math major but through 9 games KC has allowed 111 points. (12.33 ppg).  Through 9 games we have allowed 115 points (12.77 ppg).  Hypothetically speaking if we shut out New England then through 10 games we would have allowed 115 points (11.5 ppg).  If KC gave up 5 points against Denver then they would have allowed 116 points (11.6 ppg).  So I'm wondering why the magic number of 18?  Am I missing something?

[Jase]

it's actually 17.  17 points means KC will have allowed 128 points through 10 games (12.8 ppg) vs our 12.77 PPG.  It's only valid until we play our game tomorrow.  Like I said, we'll likely have the top scoring defense for only a day.

 

We're talking PPG, not total points allowed.

[top dawg]

Way too much thought going on in this thread.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

So they've given up 138 points vs our 115.

 

23 points Monday night we'll be tied for 1st, less we'll be alone at 1st, more we'll drop to 2nd.

I think he meant the Chiefs.

Yes, you are. If KC gives up exactly 17 they will have allowed 12.8 ppg, Panthers have allowed 12.77 ppg in games actually played.  So, Panters #1 until their game Monday.

 

Based on score with 5 minutes left, KC has allowed 13.8 points per game. For Carolina to remain #1, they would have to give up less than 23 points to the Patriots.
