Coincidence?

Interesting stat for Chiefs' offense pre & post-Kareem Hunt stiff arm:

Before – 25 plays for 33 yds
After (including play) – 27 for 218 yds

Shut. Down.

Before Week 6, #Chiefs averaged 156.2 rushing yds/game.#Steelers were allowing 136.6 rushing yds/game.
PIT held KC to just 28 yds Sunday.
