The Chiefs played pretty well on defense last night but it didn’t matter because the offense sputtered most of the night.  The D played so well that the game was tied 3-3 at the half.  Matt Cassel didn’t look good at all last night as he completed 6 of 8 passes for 25 yards and he lost a fumble.  Brodie Croyle didn’t do much better completing 8 of 15 passes for 66 yards with 1 INT.  Tyler Palko finished up the night by completing 8 of 13 passes for 66 yards with 1 INT.  But, he did run 2 times for 12 yards and he scored a TD.  Javarris Williams knows that he is fighting for a roster spot and he looked good last night carrying the ball 7 times for 38 yards (5.4 ypc).  He also caught 2 passes for 16 yards (8.0 avg) last night.  Jamaal Charles looked sharp when he was in the game rushing 4 times for 37 yards (9.3 ypc).  Dexter McCluster looked good in his first taste of NFL action as he carried the ball 5 times for 25 yards (5.0 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 23 yards (7.7 avg).  The Chiefs finished up with 130 yards rushing (4.6 ypc) and 143 yards passing in this game but they only had possesion of the ball for 25:08 due to ineffectiveness.

Linebackers Jovan Belcher (6 tackles) and Pierre Walters (5 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) led the way for the Chiefs on D in that game.  The Falcons finished up with 100 yards rushing (2.7 ypc) and 144 passing last night as the Chiefs’ D looked solid.
