1. Keep running the ball

The Chiefs need to run the ball. The Chiefs have what could be the best running back tandem in the NFL in Jamaal Charles and Knile Davis.

Charles has been rolling in the past two games, racking up four touchdowns in the past few games. Davis, too, has been on a tear of his own, but his impact has been felt more in special teams. He was able to take a 99-yard kickoff for a touchdown during the game against the Rams. The Chiefs need to get the most out of this group of running backs. The Bills front seven have been finding ways to get to the quarterback and are currently ahead of the Chiefs with 28 sacks, good for second in the NFL (the Chiefs are sitting in a shared third place with Jacksonville at 27 sacks). If the Chiefs are able to get the run game going, the Bills will stack the box, which will open up the secondary of the Bills to the Chiefs wide receivers. If the Chiefs want to be productive, they need to pound the ball against a tough Bills defensive line.
