The bigger question here is do the Chiefs have a good enough running game to take advantage of this? Will they stick to it even if they're behind in the game? All of the teams you cited above prioritize their running game. Do the Chiefs? The Texans had 38 rushing yards last week.

Thats exactly how you should defend really. If you can get the other team to run the ball more...well that is a less effective way to score.
