St. Louis Rams 10, Kansas City Chiefs 3
Just when you think that pre-season Chiefs football can’t be any more boring they throw in a super clunker. Brodie Croyle got his work in quickly and poorly as he only completed 1 of 4 passes for 15 yards. Undrafted rookie Jeff Terrell finished up the game by completing 15 of 25 passes for 117 yards with 1 pickoff. Rookie RB Kolby Smith was a bright spot in this game as he carried the football 7 times for 64 yards (9.1 ypc). Derrick Ross was also busy with 8 carries for 27 yards (3.4 ypc) and 3 catches for 27 yards (9.0 avg). Michael Bennett (4 car, 20 yards) and Larry Johnson (3 car, 12 yards) both looked good in their limited time on the football field. The Chiefs did finish with 148 yards rushing on 27 carries (5.5 ypc) but they only completed 16 of 29 passes for 111 yards.
The defense played tough considering that they weren’t getting any help at all from the offense. The Chiefs held the Rams to 91 yards rushing on 30 carries (3.0 ypc) and the Rams completed 23 of 32 passes for 196 yards.
