Chiefs and Rams to wear Los Angeles-based first responder hats Monday night
The move is in response to the recent wildfires in California.
By Pete Sweeney

In an effort to honor those assisting the people of California due to recent wildfires that have claimed at least 80 lives, both the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams plan to wear the hats of first-responders on the sidelines Monday night as they square off on Monday Night Football.

ESPN’s Darren Rovell was the first to tweet a few images of the hats:

As Rovell notes, the hats “will be auctioned off with funds benefitting families of those affected by wildfires.”

Old friend Chiefs reporter of Chiefs dot com tweeted out the Chiefs’ version of the hats:

A small but classy move by the NFL and the two organizations.

Five stats that could determine the Chiefs’ game against Rams
Here are five stats to know ahead of Monday Night Football.
By Gary McKenzie

Here is the Rams overview:

Looks pretty similar to what the Chiefs have done so far this season; great offense with mediocre/bad defense.

1. 63.5

The above number is the Vegas point total between the Rams and the Chiefs — Everyone, including the brilliant minds who set the NFL lines, believes the Chiefs/Rams game will be a shootout.

Further to note, 63.5 is the largest NFL point total since the stat has been tracked starting in 1986. Long story short, this game is going to be a shootout.

So how have the Rams and Chiefs done in shootouts with their current head coach/quarterback pairings?


View: https://twitter.com/Super_G_Chiefs/status/1064181194735128576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1064181194735128576&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F2018%2F11%2F19%2F18101129%2Fchiefstats-five-stats-that-could-determine-the-chiefs-game-against-rams

So, the Rams have played very well in shootouts with a 5-2 record, and the Chiefs are victims of a small sample size.

2. Touchdowns or lose

Since this game will be a shootout, for every drive either team doesn’t score a touchdown, their winning likelihood will be dropped significantly.


View: https://twitter.com/Super_G_Chiefs/status/1064184761114075137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1064184761114075137&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F2018%2F11%2F19%2F18101129%2Fchiefstats-five-stats-that-could-determine-the-chiefs-game-against-rams

In terms of scoring the ball, the Chiefs have done a better job than the Rams thus far at getting the ball into the end zone.

The Rams have kicked a field goal on 20 percent of their drives, while the Chiefs have kicked field goals on 16 percent of their drives. In total, the Chiefs score in 57 percent of their drives while the Rams score in 54 percent of their drives.

So, in terms of scoring touchdowns more often (or scoring in general) the Chiefs have the advantage.

Let’s check the defensive side of the ball:


View: https://twitter.com/Super_G_Chiefs/status/1064187418167975939?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1064187418167975939&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F2018%2F11%2F19%2F18101129%2Fchiefstats-five-stats-that-could-determine-the-chiefs-game-against-rams

On defense, the Rams have a slight advantage.

This is a pattern I caught time and time again — The Chiefs offense is a little better than the Rams offense, and the Rams defense is a little better than the Chiefs defense.

If I had to put money on one team having the edge in regards to scoring percentages, I’d give the edge on the Chiefs’ side due to the Chiefs offense having more of a lead over the Rams offense than the Rams defense has a lead over the Chiefs defense.

3. Mistakes

In a tightly-contested game, miscues on either side of the ball can cause a team to lose. This is why turnovers and penalties will be huge on Monday night.


View: https://twitter.com/Super_G_Chiefs/status/1064192905676496897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1064192905676496897&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F2018%2F11%2F19%2F18101129%2Fchiefstats-five-stats-that-could-determine-the-chiefs-game-against-rams

In terms of turning the ball over, the Rams have a slight advantage over the Chiefs. The Rams have done a great job taking care of the ball so far in 2018, and a single turnover by either team could be the difference in the game.


View: https://twitter.com/Super_G_Chiefs/status/1064194900739219456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1064194900739219456&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F2018%2F11%2F19%2F18101129%2Fchiefstats-five-stats-that-could-determine-the-chiefs-game-against-rams

The penalties also sway in the Rams favor. When it comes to taking care of the ball and not accumulating penalties, the Rams have the clear advantage over the Chiefs.

Of course, I’m not going to leave you feeling entirely down in this section...


View: https://twitter.com/Super_G_Chiefs/status/1064196762880102400?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1064196762880102400&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F2018%2F11%2F19%2F18101129%2Fchiefstats-five-stats-that-could-determine-the-chiefs-game-against-rams

All that said, in tightly contested games, miscues can be the difference between winning and losing. If the Chiefs play a sloppy game in LA, they will probably lose.

I’ll be rooting for a clean game from the Chiefs.

4. Third down

I’ll repeat myself: Any time either team doesn’t score a touchdown in this game, they are greatly reducing their chances of winning.

So both teams are going to need to stay on the field and push the ball towards the end zone. This makes third down incredibly important in this game, more so than others.

We’ll take a look at Bill Connelly’s advanced stat guide to observe third down performance.

I know we’re talking about third down, but looking at the Chiefs defense, I’m suddenly interested in the Chiefs having success on first and second down — I say this because the Chiefs are the best team in the NFL when it comes to third-and-long.

However, the Rams are still a great offense when it comes to third-and-long, having the sixth-best success rate in the NFL. It’s going to be a dogfight on third-and-long, and the Chiefs should try and force the Rams into third-and-long situations.

Offensively, the Chiefs have had more success on third down than the Rams.

I’m surprised to see the Rams are the worst third-and-long team in the NFL — maybe that’s why they went and signed Dante Fowler.

The Rams strength, defensively, is on third-and-medium situations. The Chiefs are at the top of the league in nearly all third-down stats, so third-and-medium will be an interesting situation to follow during the game on Sunday for the Chiefs offense.

Ultimately, I see the Chiefs having the advantage on third down in this game, but it’s very close.

5. Sacks

I’ll be honest. I’m freaking out about Aaron Donald facing the Chiefs interior offensive line.


View: https://twitter.com/Super_G_Chiefs/status/1064202654035914753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1064202654035914753&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F2018%2F11%2F19%2F18101129%2Fchiefstats-five-stats-that-could-determine-the-chiefs-game-against-rams

Yet again, both teams are incredibly close, with the Chiefs offense being slightly better than the Rams offense and the Rams defense being slightly better than the Chiefs defense.

Regarding the Rams pass rush, they recently added Dante Fowler Jr. into the mix, let’s see how that’s working thus far:


View: https://twitter.com/Super_G_Chiefs/status/1064204056737001472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1064204056737001472&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F2018%2F11%2F19%2F18101129%2Fchiefstats-five-stats-that-could-determine-the-chiefs-game-against-rams

So far, the Rams haven’t seen any dividends from adding Fowler to their defense, but I’m sure that will change eventually. I’m just hoping it doesn’t change against the Chiefs!
-----------
If you show me Todd Gurley’s final stat line without seeing the game, I will be able to tell you how we did.
-----------
Gurley is the fear.
Goff and their receivers are good, but if our run D plays like it has for much of the year Goff won’t even need to pass
----------
One stat you missed was scoring by quarter. KC is the quicker team. Which always brings us to adjustments at half time. Even in our wins, game still got a bit hairy. For example, before the pick in Cleveland, they were driving. One score, and it would have been a one score game.

Halftime adjustments concern me.
----------
I'd like to see all this hype be met with a MikeTyson-like KO
Like KC just emphatically stomps the life out of the Rams.

It would set the stage for an even more epic showdown with the Saints.
----------
Goff 13-30, 120 yards, 8 sacks, 3 INTs...
13 points.

What Chiefs fans are saying is nothing compared to what Saints fans are saying. Apparently everyone in New Orleans is going to spend the near future on their fainting couches bemoaning the sad state of the NFL that would allow a game like this to happen.

 

[Mackeyser]

Chiefs fans focusing on the false start and not the many holding calls against their OL that weren’t called.

Overall, it was a very well called game.

The worst call was the spearing on Goff followed by the incorrect spearing call on Hill.

The crew missed a few false starts on us and some holds on them. Pretty sure if all were called correctly, it’s even or we come out better.

Oh and the first seven minutes, the Chiefs played super sloppy and every flag was crystal clear.

I’ve been on the “narrative” bandwagon and I’d call it straight and agree if I thought for a second that this game was following a narrative. Both teams had to make INCREDIBLE plays to make this game happen and no refs can make an incredible catch or intercept a pass.

 

[Karate61]

the incorrect spearing call on Hill.

It looked to me like Hill was the one that got speared. That call was upsetting!

not as upsetting as seeing goff speared with the crown of the helmet to his facemask then no flag for roughing the passer.

Jerome Boger was the originally assigned ref before the NFL switched up the crew. So, it could have been a lot worse with Butthead Boger!

Man Chiefs are crying foul so hard today it's sad. I saw a couple ticky tacky penalties on them and I saw a few on us. And a whole lot of holds on AD per usual. Everything else were legit penalties on both of us so not sure what they are bitching about. We got most of the bad ones at the end of the game. At least theirs were mostly in the beginning.

Chiefs offer one of the best game day environments in the NFL, and Arrowhead is always rocking, but despite those feathers in their war bonnets, their fans are the most immature, ignorant and yet despite never doing anything ever in the postseason, their fans have the most ridiculously over-inflated confidence in their team.

I've been to a few games at Arrowhead and I personally do not like the environment. I believe the drunkenness is just way too over the top.
