That tells you that teams were often playing with a lead against the Chiefs, thus running the ball more, so the total number of yards is somewhat misleading.
The YPA atempt is a more telling stat to how this unit actually performed.

Except that, when the other team is way ahead, you KNOW that they are going to run the ball, so it makes it easier to keep the YPA low.
