"Chiefs Will": The Kansas City Chiefs

[rspencer86]

Week 2 Preview



The Kansas City Chiefs will look to rebound from their painful Week 1 loss to the Chargers by visiting Cleveland and the perennially downtrodden Browns.

Cleveland is hoping that young Colt McCoy will be a building block for the future, and he earned some trust last week by throwing for 244 yards and two touchdowns in a close loss to the Bucs.

The Chiefs will look to control the game by pounding the ball with their one-two punch of Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones. Although the passing game is not the focus, it will need to produce more than the 87 yards Matt Cassel gave the Chiefs in Week 1.

For a moment, it looked like the Kansas City Chiefs were going to let another slip away in the fourth quarter.

Coming off of a heartbreaking loss to the Chargers in the season opener, Kansas City built a 14-7 against the Cleveland Browns lead heading into the final frame.

But the Browns, led by rookie Colt McCoy, fought back with two touchdowns, going ahead 21-14 with less than nine minutes left to play.

"We just looked at each other on the sideline and said, "let's not do this again," said RB Thomas Jones, referring to last week's late loss. "So we went out and got the job done."

The Chiefs got plenty of help from Jones and Jamaal Charles, who combined for 156 rushing yards. And although the numbers don't look stellar, when the Chiefs needed a big play on third down, QB Matt Cassel delivered.

"Matt is becoming a leader," head coach Todd Haley said. "He is comfortable stepping up when his team needs him."

Despite the loss, McCoy played outstanding, throwing three touchdowns and no picks.

"I'm just trying to do everything I can to help my team win," McCoy said. "Unfortunately it wasn't enough today."

Week 3 Preview


The Chiefs will return to the friendly confines of Arrowhead Stadium for a shot at the struggling San Francisco 49ers. The Niners' offense looked hopeless in their 17-6 loss to the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. Alex Smith was just 12-27 in the game as many of his throws missed the target by feet, not inches.

The Chiefs come into the game with mediocre QB play of their own, but the rushing attack of Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones was potent in their win against the Browns. If the 49ers can slow down the Chiefs offense, get an early lead and dare Matt Cassel to beat them with his arm, they have a chance at earning their first win of the season. Otherwise, expect KC to defend their turf and gain some more momentum after the crushing Week 1 loss.

This Looks great! How do you make the highlight vid and get such clear screenshots? Any help would be appreciated!

How many quarterbacks have thrown for over 450 yards while shouldering the brunt of the blame for a loss?

Alex Smith did just that, connecting on a flurry of deep balls that gave him 468 passing yards for the day. Unfortunately for the 49ers, he also completed four passes to the Chiefs, with two being returned for TDs in KC's 31-28 home victory.

"There's no need to sugar-coat it — I blew it," Smith said after the game. "It doesn't matter how many yards I throw for if I throw four picks."

The Chiefs built a big 21-3 lead on the strength of their running game and their ballhawking defense. But the 49ers chipped away by getting a safety and a long touchdown strike to Ted Ginn Jr. before halftime.

"We felt like we dominated the first half, but looked up at the scoreboard and only led by nine," Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. "It was kind of disappointing."

Both defenses controlled the scoreless third quarter until Thomas Jones broke another long run for a touchdown to make it 28-12.

"I think we thought we had the game won after that touchdown," head coach Todd Haley said. "We forgot it takes 60 minutes to win in the NFL."

The capacity crowd at Arrowhead watched in disbelief as the 49ers charged back with two touchdowns and two 2-point conversions with less than 4 minutes to go.

"Too many mistakes that led to big plays," Chiefs defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel said. "Too many unnecessary risks."

But the 49ers left just enough time for Matt Cassel and the Chiefs, who wasted no time getting into field goal range when Dwayne Bowe broke free on a 64-yard catch-and-run.

Ryan Succop sealed the win with a 25-yard chip shot field goal. Succop has kicked the game-winning field goal in both Chiefs wins this season.

"It's nice being the hero and not the goat." Succop said. "We kickers have to enjoy it while it lasts."
