difference in the game tonight. They are perceived to have the better defense because of all the big names but it is just perception.

Look at these numbers from Pro Football Reference

Scoring Defense: LA 12th / KC 17th but less than a point per game difference.

Def Total Yards per play: Both tied at 22nd with an average of 6 yards per play.

Def Yards per pass: LA - 14th / KC - 12th

Def Yards per rush: LA - 32nd / KC - 31nd

These two defenses are almost exactly the same.

Their offenses are statistically equal too. This game will come down to which team performs better. How will missing Kupp for the first time effect the Rams tonight?

the 2 teams that run up the score quick on opponents - colonel angus beef KC - 11/19 11:35:16

These were yards per play instead of yards per game. - DHighlander NWMSU - 11/19 11:44:14

sure but it still skews it a bit. - colonel angus beef KC - 11/19 11:53:36

I wouldn't say it skews it as much as makes it leptokurtic - lqf2b8 MU

well i say we still ship off all those leptos to an island - colonel angus beef KC - 11/19 12:07:44

To take it a step further, I think the Chiefs have played - kmawv8 MU - 11/19 11:27:40

I think the Kupp injury is big. That being said isn't - Carlos Rossi KC - 11/19 11:24:16

The difference being that the Chiefs have played without - DHighlander NWMSU - 11/19 11:25:34

Rams have played without Kupp, just three weeks ago (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 11/19 11:27:13

I tend to agree. The Rams have played without Kupp before - Carlos Rossi KC - 11/19 11:27:10

Have they determined if Sammy Watkins is playing? (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 11/19 11:23:45

That's a huge deal, IMO. He takes pressure off of Tyreek (nm) - TigerNuts KC - 11/19 11:59:08

they brought up Dieter today from the practice squad... - colonel angus beef KC - 11/19 12:10:14
