The Kansas City Chiefs are known for their run game. Over the past few seasons they have had one of the better backfields in the NFL, this is no exception.

Running back Spencer Ware is making a case for one of the best in the league this year. Ware is currently averaging 5.3 yards per carry which is fourth in the NFL and averaging 83 yards per game. Fellow running back Jamaal Charles has been slowly getting back into the game as well and should look to have his touches increase as we get further along in the season.

This team finds their identity in the run game. The run is everything. The Saints come into this weekend ranked 26th overall against the run, this is where the team needs to find their stride. A heavy combination of Ware and Charles should keep the Saints defense on the ropes and with any luck could be the key factor to bringing the win to the good guys.
