ith the Lamar Hunt Trophy on the line and the Chiefs hosting their first AFC championship Chris Jones Jersey , let’s go through some stats that could play a role in Sunday’s highly-anticipated game:First, an overview of the enemy: There’s no place like (Ma)home(s)Home field advantage is desired by all teams in any sport ever — especially when it comes to a playoff situation. Obviously. The reason for this due to the well-known factor that most teams perform much better with their fans’ support and crowd noise, no travel time involved and overall familiarity with the field/environment — amongst other reasons. Let’s take the Chiefs defense, which would stand to benefit more than anything else.Despite its struggles throughout the season, Arrowhead Stadium has made a difference.Take a look at some of these home numbers:For context, the defense had 10 less sacks on the road and gave up nearly double the amount of points per game on when playing away (34.6). And, as it turns out, home-field advantage is proving to be more important now than ever, according to these stats:(Ty)wreaking havoc on the pressEarlier this season, Andy Reid referred called Tyreek a “little joker” after he insisted on playing despite dealing with injuries. The Patriots, on the other hand Steven Nelson Jersey , may not have a nickname that nice for the dynamic and dangerous wide receiver. And it’s understandable as to why that would be. In Hill’s two career games against the Patriots, he did some damage with the 14 total receptions he got in those matchups:Oh, and add four touchdowns to that line. Three of the four touchdowns came in the thrilling 43-40 road loss the Chiefs suffered in New England Week 6 of this season. The Patriots will undoubtedly have a plan to stop Hill from blowing by them again. The question is: will it be enough? Take a look at these numbers from Next Gen Stats: With the Chiefs offense back and healthy and the growing presence of Damien Williams added to that mix, Hill may have even more opportunity to get behind the Patriots’ defensive backs and help lift the Chiefs to a victory.(Justin) Houston...New England may have a problemA lot has changed since the Chiefs played the Patriots on the road in Week 6. A lot. While the Chiefs had a perfect 5-0 record going into that game, they boasted one of the worst defenses in the NFL. And, at that point in the season, the secondary had given up more yards to opposing teams (2,309) than the Chiefs offense had gained (2,065). If that wasn’t bad enough, they had also conceded as many passing touchdowns as Mahomes had thrown (14).Those types of numbers earlier in the season had the secondary ranked at a lowly 28th in defensive DVOA after those trying five weeks.However, things have changed thanks to the Chiefs’ rising pass rush and the return of Justin Houston — who the Patriots didn’t see in their 43-40 win over the Chiefs at home due to a hamstring injury he was fighting at the time. His return has been nothing short of impactful for Kansas City:With Houston Nick Allegretti Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , Dee Ford and Chris Jones manning the front line and the Chiefs’ strength in QB pressures, Brady could be in trouble. Especially when looking at his numbers under pressure this season...Despite leading the NFL in passer rating under pressure just last season with 96.6, per PFF, Brady’s QBR in the same category dropped significantly to 71.2 this year. Additionally, he completed less than half of his pass attempts in those situations with just a 45.3 percent completion rate. Run defense vs. run offenseWhile the Chiefs defense did well in some key categories at home, when it came down to the run game, it struggled quite a bit. Kansas City’s secondary gave up an average of 132 yards per game and five yards per carry, placing it at last place on the run defense DVOA this season.This could be an area that New England tries to expose the Chiefs with the Patriots’ incredibly dangerous ground game. This season, the Patriots had 100-plus rushing-yard games in 10 different games, two of which they put up 200-plus rushing yards. Then, last weekend Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , in their 41-28 win against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Patriots ran 155 yards for four touchdowns, giving them control of the game from the opening whistle forward.In that game, Sony Michel accounted for 129 of those rushing yards — his fifth 100-plus rushing-yard game of the season. However, Michel — though an important player to watch — is not as good on the road (regular and postseason):Should the Patriots focus their game on the run anyway, regardless of Michel’s road numbers, it may not be enough for them to keep up with Andy Reid’s prolific offense — especially if they find themselves trailing early. Which leads us to...Hot out of the gatesWhen it comes to lighting it up quickly in the first quarter, the Chiefs, thanks to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ dynamic offense, have no problem turning the magic on: The first quarter may be one of the best opportunities for the Chiefs to get up on New England early. If they can do so, it’ll allow them more opportunity to control the rest of the game — particularly after the half — and keep New England chasing rather than the other way around. The Chiefs defensive lineman is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is likely due for an extension."Friend-of-the-site Terez Paylor is reporting that Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones has not been present at team offseason workouts since April 15 Nick Allegretti Jersey nfl draft , when the offseason program began.The 24-year-old Jones is entering the final year of his rookie contract and should be due for an extension given his 2018 output: a team-leading 15.5 sacks, 29 quarterback hits, 40 tackles (35 solo), five passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one interception for a touchdown. An NFL Network report calling Jones one of the Chiefs’ offseason priorities came through back in mid-January. It is worth noting that at the time, the network considered both Tyreek Hill and Dee Ford additional priorities for the Chiefs.Chiefs head coach Andy Reid last spoke about Jones on April 15.“The one neat thing that Chris (Jones) did last year was move around a little bit, which I think will help him, because he can play outside, or he can play inside,” he said of Jones fitting in Steve Spagunuolo’s new 4-3 defense. “I think he is going to be OK there. It was 70 or 75 percent of the time he was asked to do that four-man front. I think he will be OK.”As Paylor notes in his report, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach spoke about Jones teaming with Frank Clark along the defensive line in Clark’s introductory press conference on Friday.The Chiefs wrapped up phase one of the offseason last week. Phase two consists of the next three weeks of the program—on-field workouts may include individual player instruction and drills as well as team practice conducted on a “separates” basis. No live contact or team offense vs. team defense drills are permitted during phase two.Phase three workouts (OTAs) begin May 21. During phase three From China Nick Allegretti Jersey , teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity. No live contact is permitted, but seven-on-seven, nine-on-seven, and 11-on-11 drills are allowed.The entire offseason program is voluntary until June 11, when the Chiefs begin a three-day mandatory minicamp.As it stands, Jones is due to make a $1.19 million base salary in 2019, according to Over the Cap. Over the Cap also estimates the Chiefs currently have $17.86 million in cap room for 2019.Reid is scheduled to speak to media members Saturday ahead of rookie minicamp, but he has historically avoided commenting on missing players by citing the workouts being labeled as voluntary.
