Chiefs Rushing Stats vs Playoff Rushing Stats

Here are the all-time rushing leaders for the Chiefs. You'll notice that the top three went back to back. Starting in 2001, the Priest Holmes era led to the Larry Johnson era, which led to the Jamaal Charles era. (The Charles era led to the Patrick Mahomes era and I gotta say having an all-star QB is better than an all-star RB.)

So no shortage of good Chiefs running backs in my lifetime. The Chiefs chart looks pretty different from say the Lions chart, who has one elite off the charts RB but no one else above 6000 yards and the only players since the 90s with 3000 yards other than Barry Sanders is Kevin Jones with 3067. 

But what's wild about the Chiefs chart is how different the playoff leaderboard looks like:

Priest Holmes appeared in 1 playoff game and is 10th on the list of all-time playoff rushes. 

176 yards in the No Punt game.
