Amazing stat: Kansas City Chiefs haven't led a game in regulation all season

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs became the first team since the 1940 Philadelphia Eagles to finish the first seven games of the season without ever having a lead in regulation.

Those Eagles started the year 0-7. The Chiefs are 1-6. How does a team that's won a game manage to avoid holding a lead all year?

Kansas City's lone victory in 2012 came in a Week 3 overtime affair with the New Orleans Saints. The Chiefs came back from an 18-point deficit to tie the game and took its first lead on a game-winning field goal in the extra session.

More marks of ineptitude:

• The Chiefs have trailed by more than one score after 15 of its 28 quarters this season. In 11 others, they faced a deficit of one score or less.

• Kansas City has been tied at the end of just two of those quarters.

• The Chiefs have scored 10 touchdowns this season. They have 25 turnovers.

• Since Week 4 those tallies are four and 16, respectively.

This whole thing reminds us of a passage from Shakespeare most famous tragedy:

"So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title."

My Shakespeare is a bit rusty, but I'm pretty sure he's saying that if the coach were named Frank Crennel, the Chiefs wouldn't be as terrible.
