Andy Reid has his team undefeated at the halfway point of the season, but Kansas City has been very ordinary on offense.
Kansas City has scored only 16 TDs in eight games. That's offensive touchdowns. And that's on pace to finish below-average in offensive touchdowns for the season.
Compare that to other teams that in the last 30 years have gone at least 14-2. Most of those teams have averaged over 3 touchdowns per game.
The chart below shows those teams, with the number of rushing touchdowns, passing touchdowns, and the average number of touchdowns per game.
NFL offenses in general in recent years have tended to average around 33-34 touchdowns per season. Kansas City right now is on pace to finish with 32 (and offensive numbers are up).
