The Chiefs threw out another dud in their second pre-season game.  Matt Cassel looked pretty good when he was in the game as he completed 9 of 14 passes for 99 yards with 1 TD pass.   He also carried the ball 2 times for 13 yards (6.5 ypc).  Brodie Croyle looked so-so in this game completing 5 of 10 passes for 41 yards.  Matt Gutierrez looked pretty good completing 8 of 13 passes for 68 yards in this game.  Jackie Battle led the Chiefs with 28 yards rushing on 9 carries (3.1 ypc) but he also lost a fumble.  WR Dwayne Bowe led the Chiefs in the passing game with 3 grabs for 37 yards (12.3 avg) with a TD.  The Chiefs could only muster 298 total yards in this game (106 rushing, 192 passing) against a stout Vikings’ defense.

Linebacker Jovan Belcher led the way for the Chiefs’ defense in this game with 8 tackles.  The defense actually played pretty well when Tarvaris Jackson wasn’t in the game for the Vikings.  The Chiefs held the Vikings to 93 yards rushing (3.4 ypc) which is pretty good when you consider the stable of RBs they have.  But, the Chiefs allowed the Vikings to pass for 267 yards and that is unacceptable.
