The Kansas City Chiefs (1-5) finally got their first win of the year as they took down the Washington Redskins (2-4) Sunday.  This was not the most exciting game, but a win is a win.  There were no touchdowns scored by either team in this one, and the Chiefs’ player of the game was probably their kicker Ryan Succop.  Succop had 12 of the Chiefs’ 14 points, going 4/4 on his field goals with two of those FG’s coming in the fourth quarter.  Dwayne Bowe made a big impact for the Chiefs’ offense, as the receiver caught six passes for 109 yards (18.2 avg).  Quarterback Matt Cassel played a careful game with no turnovers, but only amounted 186 yards on 17/32 (53%) passes and no touchdowns.

The Chiefs defense did a great job holding the Redskins without a touchdown, limiting them to only six points.  The Redskins offense looked terrible though, and their coach Jim Thorn has now lost his play-calling authority and is on the hot seat.  Redskins’ quarterback Jason Campbell was benched at halftime and Todd Collins replaced him.  Mike Vrabel had a solid game for the Chiefs’ defense, getting five tackles and a sack.  Brandon Flowers had an interception and Tamba Hali got some points for the Chiefs’ defense with a late game safety to seal the win.  The Chiefs will go for two straight wins when they take on the San Diego Chargers (2-2) Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs (0-5) built a 13-3 lead late into the 3rd quarter Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys (3-2), but it was not enough to keep the Cowboys away.  The Chiefs could not contain Roy Williams’ back-up Miles Austin, as the undrafted receiver had a record breaking day for the Cowboys.  Austin had two touchdowns and caught ten passes for 250 yards.  That is not typo, as the Chiefs secondary was awful today and let a bench player go for a franchise record 250 yards.  They also let Tashard Choice, another bench player, go for 92 yards on eight carries (11.5 avg) and a touchdown.

The Chiefs did have an impressive game-tying drive with under a minute left.  Matt Cassel drove the Chiefs down field and tied the game with a 16 yard touchdown pass to Dwayne Bowe with 24 seconds.  Cassel finished the day with two touchdown passes with 253 passing yards on 23/41 attempts (56%).  Cassel and the Chiefs could not continue that momentum into overtime though, as Romo and Austin hooked up and got a huge game winning 60-yard touchdown.  The Chiefs are not used to having a lead and completely blew it today, letting two bench players treat them like a Pop Warner team.  Austin proved he is a very talented receiver but an NFL team should never give up 250 yards to one receiver, especially when he isn’t even a regular starter.  The Chiefs will be looking for their first win next week against the Washington Redskins (2-3).

The Chiefs were overmatched again in this game as they were down 27-3 in the 4th quarter before they showed any heart.  Matt Cassel completed 15 of 32 passes for 127 yards with 2 TD pass and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 25 yards (6.3 ypc).  But Cassel has to do a better job of holding onto the football as he fumbled the ball three times against the Giants (he didn’t lose any of them).  Larry Johnson rushed for 53 yards on 18 carries (2.9 ypc) in this game.  TE Sean Ryan led the way in the passing game for the Chiefs with 5 grabs for 58 yards (11.6 avg) with a TD.  The Chiefs only finished up with 193 total yards in this game (105 rushing, 88 passing).

The Chiefs were led on defense by Demorrio Williams (9 tackles, pass defensed) and Mike Brown (9 tackles, sack, tackle for a loss and a QB hit).  The Giants rolled up 429 total yards on offense (156 rushing, 273 passing) in this game.  The Chiefs are now 0-4 on the season.

The Chiefs had huge problems on both the offensive and defensive sides of the football in this game and it showed on the scoreboard.  Matt Cassel completed 14 of 18 passes for 90 yards with 2 TD passes in this game.  Larry Johnson was stuffed at the line quite often in this game for the Chiefs as he carried the ball 19 times for only 38 yards (2.0 ypc).  Jamaal Charles was solid in this game for the Chiefs as he carried the ball 6 times for 36 yards (6.0 ypc) and he also added 3 receptions for 34 yards (11.3 avg).  WR Mark Bradley caught 4 passes for 28 yards (7.0 avg) in this game and he also completed a pass for 26 yards.  The Chiefs finished up with only 196 total yards on offense (99 rushing, 97 passing) in this game and that’s pathetic.

The Chiefs’ D was led by LB Demorrio Williams (8 tackles) and CB Brandon Flowers (7 tackles, pass defensed).  But the Chiefs were awful on defense allowing the Eagles to roll up 420 total yards on offense (93 rushing, 327 passing) in this game.  The Chiefs are now 0-3 on the season.

It’s amazing that the Chiefs found a way to lose this football game.  Matt Cassel started his first game for the Chiefs and he completed 24 of 39 passes for 241 yards with 1 TD pass and 2 interceptions.  He also carried the ball 5 times for 34 yards (6.8 ypc) showing that he’s getting healthy.  Larry Johnson carried the ball 24 times for 78 yards (3.3 ypc) and he also caught 3 passes for 41 yards (13.7 avg).  Dwayne Bowe (5 rec, 56 yards, TD) and Bobby Wade (6 rec, 72 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Chiefs.  The Chiefs had possession of the football for 38:39 of this game finishing with 409 total yards on offense (173 rushing, 236 passing) but they still found a way to lose this game.

DT Tank Tyler led a outstanding effort by the Chiefs’ D with 7 tackles.  The Raiders only finished with 166 total yards on offense (67 rushing, 99 passing) yesterday.  The Chiefs are now 0-2 on the season with this loss.
