And most runners like Murray tend to get stronger as the game plays on and defenses get tired... Umm, lol, that previous statement presupposes that the opposing team’s defense is on the field longer than 2:40 (Saints longest drive) at a time. But when the opposing team “hyper-focuses” on your running game and/or short passing game, then other portions of the field will be freed up. When that happens, we have to make them pay. We definitely have the talent to do that.
When we're at full strength we have the talent to do that. Although, we did start taking advantage in the second half.

And you're right, the Chiefs' defense barely worked up a sweat in the first half.
