The Kansas City Chiefs are on pace to break a record no team would be proud to hold.
With 15 turnovers so far this season — eight lost fumbles and seven interceptions — Kansas City is on pace to turn the ball over 60 times. That’s close to the all-time NFL record of 63 turnovers in a season, set by the 1978 San Francisco 49ers. And with a turnover differential of minus-13, the Chiefs are on pace to finish at minus-52. That would blow away the all-time NFL record of minus-30, set by the 1965 Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Michael David Smith of NBC sports.
Head coach Romeo Crennel expressed concern for this rapid amount of turnovers,
“We cannot turn the ball over, so we’re going to concentrate on the importance of the football and hanging onto it,” Crennel said this week. “One thing we do is work on it more, so all week we’re going to put more emphasis on hanging onto the football.”
Kansas City will face a ball hacking Ravens team on Sunday, so the turnovers are likely to continue for Matt Cassel and the Chiefs offense.
