One of my biggest concern on the metrics is the defense is allowing an average of 28 first downs in a game. Last year, they averaged 22.

If they can cut that down to 20-22 range (where they were last year), then maybe there'd be improvement across the board. I was trying to find out what was the yards allowed average on a first down play. I recall seeing a stat (it may had been the SNF game, but I'm not 100% certain) that on first downs, the Chiefs allowed somewhere close to 5-6 yards on first downs, but I couldn't find anything online to help support my thinking.
