The Chiefs were very sloppy in this game.  Matt Cassel started at QB and he did not play well completing 2 of 5 passes for 15 yards and he lost a fumble.  Tyler Thigpen was so-so completing 7 of 14 passes for 40 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Brodie Croyle played the best of the Chiefs’ QBs in this game as he completed 12 of 18 passes for 145 yards.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 31 yards (10.3 ypc) in this game.  RB Dantrell Savage led the Chiefs in this game with 39 yards rushing on 8 carries (4.9 ypc).  But, he fumbled twice losing one of them.  Dwayne Bowe led the way in the passing game for the Chiefs with 70 yards on 5 grabs (14.0 avg).  The Chiefs finished up this game with 307 total yards (115 rushing, 192 passing) on offense.

Linebacker Derrick Johnson led a solid effort by the Chiefs’ defense with 6 tackles.  The Texans finished up with 280 total yards of offense in this game (107 rushing, 173 passing).  The Chiefs hope the way the defense played last Saturday was a sign of things to come.
