10 Quick Facts Following the Chiefs Week 9 Win Over New York | Upon Further Review

**6\. Kansas City scored 30+ points for the fourth time this year.**

The Chiefs' collective offensive efforts led to a season-high 35 points on Sunday, marking the fourth time this season that Kansas City hit the 30-point mark (doing so in just eight games).

That tally is already the highest in a single season for Kansas City since 2022, when the Chiefs scored 30+ points on eight occasions. In the time since, Kansas City scored 30+ points three times in 2023, twice in 2024 and three times in 2025.

A major reason behind the Chiefs' strong offensive showing on Sunday was their red zone touchdown efficiency, where Kansas City went a perfect 4-for-4.

**7\. The defense held the opposition without a touchdown for the second time this season.**

Kansas City held the Jets out of the end zone throughout Sunday's game, instead yielding just four field goals (while holding New York to an 0-for-2 mark in terms of red zone touchdown efficiency).

It was the second time this year that Kansas City held the opposition without a touchdown, and the second-straight home game in which the Chiefs did so after Kansas City prevented the Chargers from finding the end zone back in Week 6.

Notably, following the Jets' 64-yard scoring drive to begin the game, New York mustered just 165 yards of offense throughout the remainder of the contest. In the third quarter, specifically, the Jets recorded a grand total of -13 net yards across two possessions.

The Chiefs are one of just three teams to record multiple outings without allowing a touchdown, joining the Rams (3) and Seahawks (2).

**8\. Kansas City racked up a season-high five sacks on the day.**

Part of the Chiefs' stifling defensive performance on Sunday was their ability to tally a season-high five sacks.

Defensive linemen George Karlaftis (2.0), Chris Jones (2.0) and Ashton Gillotte (1.0) each contributed to that total as the Chiefs, as a team, pressured Jets' quarterback Geno Smith on 50.0% of his dropbacks according to Next Gen Stats.

Jones recorded a season-high six pressures on 29 pass-rush snaps while Karlaftis filled the stat sheet with three tackles-for-loss, two sacks and a batted pass at the line of scrimmage.
