KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ninety-four times in his University of Missouri career, Harrison Mevis had attempted either a point after touchdown (82) or field goal inside the 30-yard line (12); 94 times before, he had made the kick.

One hundred eighty-six times previously in his collegiate career at Stanford and Mizzou, Nathaniel Peat had either run the football (163) or caught a pass (23); 185 of those times he did not fumble it away.

Those are what might be called substantial sample sizes.
