The problem with all these stats is that Kyle stubbornly doesn't follow the analytics. Simple things like not going for it on 4th when you should is obvious, but even when game planning it seems like he forms his script without taking into account all the elements at play. Throwing the ball in the rain vs GB. Trying to carve up the Ravens D even after Brock threw several picks, etc etc.
Im hoping that he looks into the tape and schemes off of KC's weaknesses, but I have a feeling his offensive game plan is already set and he's going to spend this week just going through the motions and hope the scheme flies during the Super Bowl.
When it works, it looks brilliant. But when it doesn't, it appears like an EPIC FAIL. 
Stubbornly following analytics isn't smart. That gets you Dan Campbell.
I think Kyle has gotten a lot more aggressive now that he has a QB he trusts but a lot should go into the thought process of a HC and things analytics don't capture.
I heard Pat Kirwan have a good discussion about it on NFL Radio few weeks ago. He talked about how analytics don't account for things like momentum, injuries/personnel each team is playing with and things like that.
For instance in GB we lost Deebo. A vital part of your offense is out of the game - do you disregard that and go for it on a 4th and GO situation which has no way of accounting for Deebo's absence in the game?
Things like that play a role. You have to account for how the game has gone so far, how you see it goes and how you feel about your roster or the opposing teams roster. Say Chris Jones is out of the game - surely that makes things easier for us vs having him out there.
I think the biggest thing is Kyle trusts Brock. In the 2019 SB the plays were there to be made, Jimmy didn't make them. In some cases it was due to Chris Jones making a play but in other cases Jimmy audibled out of run plays and missed throws that would've helped put the game away.
