KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (2-3) VS. CINCINNATI BENGALS...

16
THE MATCH-UP The Chiefs and Bengals are set to square off for the third consecutive year at Arrowhead. For the second straight year, Kansas City has rebounded from an 0-2 start to find itself with a 2-3 record after five contests. The Chiefs had a two-game winning streak snapped last week after suffering a rare home loss by a 17-7 count vs. Jacksonville (10/7). After posting a 27-20 home victory on Opening Day vs. Baltimore (9/10), Cincinnati is in the midst of a three-game losing streak following a 34-13 setback on Monday Night Football vs. New England (10/1). The Bengals are seeking to avoid their first-ever four-game losing streak under head coach Marvin Lewis. Cincinnati marks the second straight opponent the Chiefs have faced coming off a bye week. The Bengals spoiled Herm Edwards’ Chiefs head coaching debut a year ago, posting a 23-10 victory (9/10/06). However, the Chiefs have gone on to produce a 7-2 record at home since that contest. The Chiefs would go on to finish the 2006 campaign with a 9-7 record and an AFC Wild Card berth, while the Bengals finished the year at 8-8. Sunday’s game will feature a match-up between Kansas City’s resurgent defense and the Bengals high-flying offense. The Chiefs are one of just three teams that have held their foes to 20 points or less in every contest this season, joining Jacksonville and New England. You have to go back to the ’94 campaign to find the last time Kansas City held its first five opponents to 20 points or less. The Chiefs will be seeking to extend that string to six consecutive games for the first time since accomplishing that feat in the initial eight contests of the ’91 season. Kansas City is allowing just 13.8 offensive ppg, the sixth-lowest mark in the league (excluding opponent return scores). The Chiefs currently rank 10th in total defense (300.0 ypg) and are the league’s fifth-best squad in terms of defending the pass, allowing 174.4 aerial yards per game. The Chiefs will face a Cincinnati squad that ranks fourth in the NFL in both scoring (26.5 ppg) and total offense (403.0 ypg). The Bengals rank third in the league in passing, throwing for an average of 282.3 yards per game. Next week the Chiefs travel to Oakland (10/21), while Cincinnati is home vs. the N.Y. Jets (10/21). THE SERIES Kansas City owns a slim 12-11 (.522) advantage in regular season play against Cincinnati. The Bengals won the most recent contest between these two squads by a 23-10 count at Arrowhead (9/10/06). That game was marred by a violent blow to QB Trent Green, causing an 11-minute delay in the contest as he was stabilized for medical transport. The Chiefs most recent victory over the Bengals came by a 37-3 count at Arrowhead (1/1/06). That game served as the swan song of Dick Vermeil’s coaching career as RB Larry Johnson piled up 201 rushing yards and three TDs against the playoff-bound Bengals. Cincinnati claimed a 24- 19 win in the last game between the two clubs at Paul Brown Stadium (11/16/03), snapping KC’s nine-game winning streak to start the year. The Chiefs initiated their all-time series with Cincinnati with a pair of contests in ’68 when the Bengals entered the AFL as an expansion franchise. The Chiefs registered wins in four of the first five games in the series before Cincinnati proceeded to win five straight contests from ’72- 77. The two teams have never squared off in the postseason. The Chiefs are 7-6 all-time at home against Cincinnati with a 5-6 mark at Arrowhead. In addition to registering a 37-3 victory in the 2005 regular season finale (1/1/06), Kansas City also defeated the Bengals at Arrowhead in ’93 and ’88. Perhaps the most significant game in the Chiefs- Bengals series came in ’69. With starting QB Len Dawson already hurt, back-up QB Jacky Lee was injured vs. the Bengals, pressing third-stringer Mike Livingston into service. Although Kansas City lost 24-19 at Cincinnati (9/28/69), Livingston rallied the club for wins in his next five starts during the Chiefs storied Super Bowl IV season.

CB ALBERT LEWIS – 2007 CHIEFS HOF INDUCTEE As part of the Chiefs annual Alumni Day halftime ceremonies on

Sunday, CB Albert Lewis will have his name added to the façade of Arrowhead Stadium as the 37th member of the Chiefs Hall of Fame. Selected by Kansas City in the third round of the ’83 NFL Draft out of Grambling, Lewis played in 150 regular season games (128 starts) with the Chiefs. A four-time Pro Bowl performer, Lewis’ 38 career INTs are the fifth-highest tally in franchise history. He also set a franchise record with 10 blocked punts, four of which were returned for TDs. The Mansfield, Louisiana native also accumulated 555 tackles (450), 4.5 sacks and 11 fumble recoveries in his illustrious career with Kansas City from ’83-93.

REMEMBERING OUR FOUNDER The National Football League and the American sports community lost a

true treasure on December 13, 2006 when Chiefs Founder Lamar Hunt passed away. Hunt served as the guiding force behind the formation of both the American Football League and the Kansas City Chiefs franchise. Few individuals helped change the face of America’s favorite game for the better than this quiet Texan. Hunt played a key role in the AFL-NFL merger talks in the ‘60s and actually coined the term “Super Bowl.”

As part of a year-long tribute to Hunt in 2007, the Chiefs will wear a commemorative patch that prominently features the American Football League logo to serve as a reminder of Hunt’s formation of the AFL and the lasting impact the American Football League has made on the game of professional football. True to Hunt’s humble styles, the

letters “LH” are subtly displayed on the football of the AFL logo, symbolizing the fact that the Chiefs Founder always put the best interests of the league ahead of his own. The patch will be affixed to the left chest of both KC’s home and away jerseys, meaning this piece of woven symbolism will be worn over the heart of every Chiefs player.

GONZALEZ IS TIED FOR NFL TD MARK BY TIGHT ENDS Eight-time Pro Bowl TE Tony Gonzalez owns 62 career TD catches, tying Shannon Sharpe for the NFL record for tight ends. Gonzalez ranks second in NFL history among tight ends in receptions (750) and receiving yardage (9,048), trailing only Sharpe (815-10,060). Gonzalez’s 62 total TDs with Kansas City trail only RB Priest Holmes (83). Gonzalez ranks second in franchise history with 9,062 combined net yards. In addition, no tight end in NFL history owns more consecutive 60-catch campaigns (eight) than Gonzalez. Gonzalez registered his 19th career 100-yard receiving game last week, tying WR Otis Taylor for the Chiefs career mark. Those 19 100-yard games are tied with Sharpe for third in NFL history among TEs, trailing only Kellen Winslow (24), and Jackie Smith (22). Gonzalez extended his team-record streak of games with at least one reception to 104 contests vs. Jacksonville (10/7), meaning only Ozzie Newsome (150) has a longer streak by a TE in NFL history. In three career games vs. Cincinnati, Gonzalez owns 22 catches for 226 yards with two TDs. He had eight catches for 100 yards vs. Jacksonville (10/7).

HERM EDWARDS NFL Head Coach: 7th Year NFL Coach Overall: 15th Year NFL Overall: 52-55 (.486) Regular Season: 50-51 (.495) Postseason: 2-4 (.333) Record w/KC: 11-10 (.524) Record w/NYJ: 39-41 (.488) Overall NFL Exp: 28th year College: San Diego State (’77)

Herm Edwards was named the 10th head coach in Kansas City history on January 9, 2006. The first coach in franchise history to guide the Chiefs to the playoffs in his initial season, he helped the 2006 Chiefs become just the fifth team since 2000 to overcome an 0-2 start and still make the postseason. Edwards guided the N.Y. Jets to three postseason berths during a five-year stint (2001-05) with that franchise. He originally joined the Chiefs as a recipient of the NFL’s Minority Coaching Fellowship in ’89. He later served as a scout (’90-91, ’95) and also coached defensive backs (’92-94).

Born in Fort Monmouth, NJ on April 27, 1954, Edwards served as Tampa Bay’s assistant head coach/DBs coach under Tony Dungy from ’96-00. Edwards concluded his college career as a DB at San Diego State in ’76 and signed as a rookie free agent with Philadelphia (’77-85). In 135 career starts with the Eagles, he established a franchise record with 38 INTs, and started in Super Bowl XV. Edwards concluded his NFL playing career seeing duty in seven games for the Rams and Falcons in ’86. He then coached DBs at San Jose State (’87-89) prior to his arrival in the NFL ranks with Kansas City in ’90.

MARVIN LEWIS NFL Head Coach: 5th Year NFL Coach Overall: 16th Year NFL Overall: 36-33 (.522) Regular Season: 36-32 (.529) Postseason: 0-1 (.000) Record w/CIN: 36-32 (.529) Record vs. KC: 2-1 (.667) AFC West Exp: None College: Idaho State (’81)

Marvin Lewis was named the ninth head coach in Bengals history on January 14, 2003. After back-to-back 8-8 seasons, Lewis guided Cincinnati to its first postseason berth since ’90 as the Bengals won the AFC North title in 2005 with an 11-5 mark.

Lewis joined the Bengals after serving a one-year stint as Washington’s defensive coordinator in 2002 and a six-year stint as Baltimore’s defensive coordinator (’96-01). His Ravens tenure included a Super Bowl XXXV victory following the 2000 campaign when Baltimore set the NFL record for fewest points allowed (165) in a 16-game season and also paced the league in rushing yards allowed (970) and takeaways (49). The Ravens pitched four shutouts that season, the most since Pittsburgh had five in ’76.

Born on September 23, 1958 in McDonald, Pa., Lewis began his NFL career as Pittsburgh’s LBs coach (’92-95) after serving an NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship with the Chiefs during training camp in ’91. He joined the Steelers after serving as a collegiate assistant coach at Pitt (’90-91), New Mexico (’87-89), Long Beach State (’85-86) and his alma mater of Idaho State (’81-84), where he was a LB, S and QB from ’78-80.

INDIVIDUAL LEADERS

THE 2007 CHIEFS The Chiefs have rebounded from an 0-2 start to post a 2-3 record after

five games for the second consecutive year. KC is 10th in the NFL in total defense (300.0 ypg). The Chiefs have allowed an NFL-low 13 offensive points (1 TD, two FGs) in the second half. Only Tennessee (0) and Carolina (9) have allowed fewer total points in the fourth quarter than KC (10). The Chiefs have produced two second-half shutouts in their first five games. KC is sixth in the NFL, allowing 4.7 yards per play and is fifth in the league, permitting 5.16 yards per pass play. KC is fifth in the NFL in pass defense, permitting 174.4 ypg. Opponents have compiled a 70.9 passer rating against KC, the fifth-lowest mark in the league. KC is sixth in the NFL with 15.0 sacks and is sixth in the league, averaging a sack once every 11.3 pass attempts.

The Chiefs defense is second in the AFC and is fourth in the NFL with a 36.4 Red Zone TD percentage, allowing just four TDs on 11 opponent Red Zone trips. The Chiefs defense is tied for 12th in the NFL in third-down efficiency (39.1%) and is 12th in first downs allowed (17.6 per game). The Chiefs are 10th in the NFL, giving up a total of 47 passing first downs. KC is tied for sixth in the NFL with 10 takeaways and is tied for fourth in the NFL with five fumble recoveries. Kansas City is allowing 4.91 yards per play on first down to rank 13th in the NFL.

DE Jared Allen (D4b-04) leads the club with 4.5 sacks. His 31.0 career sacks rank eighth in Chiefs history. He needs 4.0 more to overtake DE Wilbur Young (35.0) for seventh. Opponents’ average drive start after a Chiefs kickoff is the 23.6-yard line, the second-best mark in the AFC and the fourth-best mark in the NFL. The Chiefs are sixth in the NFL with a 46.4-yard gross punting average.

EDWARDS AMONG NFL’S ELITE LINEBACKERS LB Donnie Edwards owns 28 career INTs, the most of any active LB. Of

the 16 LBs enshrined in the Pro Football HOF, only Nick Buoniconti (32), Jack Ham (32) and Sam Huff (30) own more career INTs. Edwards has returned four of his 28 INTs for TDs, more than any Hall of Fame linebacker.

In total, Edwards has six career TDs (four INT returns, two fumble returns). In addition, Edwards’ 1,547 career tackles also rank fifth among active NFL players. His 781 tackles with KC are the fifth-highest tally in Chiefs history. Dating back to ’96, no NFL active NFL linebacker owns more takeaways (39) or has started more consecutive games (141) than Edwards.

LJ’S RECORD-BREAKING RUN CONTINUES RB Larry Johnson registered his 25th career 100-yard rushing game with a 123-yard performance at San Diego (9/30), giving him the most 100-yard rushing games of any player in Chiefs history. Johnson accomplished that feat in his 52nd contest in a KC uniform. Johnson currently ranks third in Chiefs history with 4,480 rushing yards. He needs 418 more yards to overtake RB Christian Okoye (4,897) for second in team annals. Johnson is one of just three RBs in NFL annals (Eric Dickerson, L.A. Rams, ’83-84 & Terrell Davis, Denver ’97-98) to register 1,750 rushing yards in back-to-back seasons.

THE BOWE SHOW WR Dwayne Bowe (D1-07) is the only Chiefs player since the AFL-NFL

merger to register a TD catch in his first three starts. Bowe set a Chiefs rookie record with 164 receiving yards at San Diego (9/30), breaking the previous mark of 130 yards established by RB/S Johnny Robinson vs. Buffalo (12/18/60). Bowe’s 164 receiving yards were the most by any Chiefs player since WR Derrick Alexander registered 173 yards at San Diego (11/22/98). Bowe currently has 22 catches for 369 yards with three TDs, putting him on pace to finish the year with 70 receptions for 1,180 yards and nine TDs. RB Abner Haynes (55 catches) and E Chris Burford (789 yards) set the Chiefs rookie records for those areas in ’60. The KC rookie record for TD catches is six (TE Fred Arbanas in ’62 and WR Stephone Paige in ’83).

THE 2007 BENGALS Pro Bowl QB Carson Palmer (D1-03) owns a 26-23 (.531) record as a

starter and threw for a franchise-record 4,035 yards in 2006. RB Rudi Johnson (D4-01) has posted three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with FB Jeremi Johnson (D4b-03) as his lead blocker. Four-time Pro Bowl selection WR Chad Johnson (D2-01) has led the AFC in receiving yards four straight seasons and forms a dangerous duo with WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (D7-01), who also topped the 1,000-yard receiving plateau in 2006. T Willie Anderson (D1-96) made his fourth straight Pro Bowl in 2006, anchoring the o-line with T Levi Jones (D1-02). Former Falcons TE Reggie Kelly rounds out the offense.

Missouri product DE Justin Smith (D1-01) and DE Robert Geathers bookend a Bengals defensive front that also includes veteran DT John Thornton and DT Domata Peko (D4-06). The linebacking unit features MLB Ahmad Brooks (D3-06), Rashad Jeanty and Landon Johnson (D3b-04). Former Broncos CB Deltha O’Neal posted a team-record 10 INTs in 2005. He pairs with second-year CB Jonathan Joseph (D1-06) and rookie CB Leon Hall (two INTs). Super Bowl XXXVII MVP Dexter Jackson and Madieu Williams (D2b-04) man the safety positions. Former Pro Bowl K Shayne Graham and third-year P Kyle Larson do the kicking. Second-year WR Glenn Holt returns kickoffs while WR Skyler Green returns punts.

Kansas City’s Defense Will Be Tested by Cincinnati’s High-Flying Offense by Pete Moris

The Arrowhead Advantage Kansas City owns an NFL-best 103-35 (.747) regular season mark at

Arrowhead dating back to ’90. The Chiefs typically bounce back strong when they suffer a rare loss at home. Since the start of the ’90 campaign, the Chiefs are 25-9 (.735) in their next game at Arrowhead following a home loss. KC hasn’t lost back-to-back games at Arrowhead since dropping contests vs. New England (11/22/04) and vs. San Diego (11/28/04), teams that produced a combined 26-6 (.813) regular season record that season.

Since the start of the 2002 campaign, the Chiefs are 9-3 (.750) at Arrowhead during the month of October. The Chiefs are 7-3 at home under Herm Edwards. The Bengals are 16-18 (.471) on the road under Marvin Lewis, but are just 2-6 in their last eight road outings, including a streak of four straight losses. Lewis is 5-5 all-time vs. AFC West foes and is 2-1 vs. Kansas City.

Getting an Early Advantage Always Bodes Well in the NFL Holding a halftime lead is always important, but STATS, LLC has helped

to quantify just how important it is to lead in the NFL after two quarters. Dating back to the start of the 2000 campaign, home teams leading at halftime own a 765-186-1 (.804) record. Dating back to ’95, Kansas City owns an even better advantage at Arrowhead when leading at halftime, posting a 52-7 (.882) record. No matter the site, the Chiefs own a 7-1 record when holding a halftime lead under Herm Edwards.

Despite trailing at halftime in the club’s first five games, Kansas City has still managed to produce a 2-3 record. However, the Chiefs would like to get off to a better start in this week’s contest. KC is the only NFL club yet to score in the first quarter this season and owns the dubious distinction of being outscored 20-0 in the first quarter this year. The Chiefs have trailed by an average margin of 9.4 ppg at halftime in 2007 and have a 47-point first-half scoring deficit (16 scored/63 allowed) in their first five games.

In their most recent victory, the Chiefs did bounce back from a 16-6 halftime deficit at San Diego (9/30) to record a 30-16 win, an impressive feat considering that NFL road teams have a 186-765-1 (.196) record when trailing at halftime dating back to 2000.

Cincinnati is 26-8 (.765) under Marvin Lewis when holding a halftime lead. However, the Bengals are 6-23 (.207) when trailing at the half under Lewis, including a 2-14 (.125) mark on the road. Cincinnati has been behind at halftime in its three losses in 2007. The Bengals have scored and allowed exactly 23 points apiece in the first quarter. However, Cincinnati has an 18-point second-quarter scoring deficit (27 scored/45 allowed). Only Detroit (49) has allowed more points in the second quarter than Cincinnati this season.

The Chiefs Are Especially Stingy in Scoring Defense Cincinnati ranks fourth in the league, scoring an average of 26.5 total ppg.

The Bengals will face a Chiefs defense that is permitting just 13.8 offensive ppg (excluding opponent return scores), the sixth-lowest total in the NFL. Kansas City, Jacksonville and New England are the only teams that have held their foes to 20 points or less in every contest this season. Kansas City is 54-9 (.857) at Arrowhead dating back to ’95 when holding foes to 21 points or less, including victories in 23 of the club’s last 25 games in those circumstances

The Chiefs have been especially stingy in terms of relinquishing points in the second half. KC actually ranks sixth in the league in second-half scoring differential, outscoring its foes 47 to 20 in the final two quarters of games this season. Including a fumble return TD by Houston, the Chiefs as a team have given up a total of 20 second-half points, the second-lowest mark in the league behind only Tennessee (16). That means KC’s defense has allowed opposing offenses to score a league-low 13 points in the second half. In fact, KC has held two opponents (MIN, SD) scoreless in the second half. The Bengals have been outscored by five points (56 scored/61 allowed) in the second half of games in 2007.

Cincinnati owns a 14-3 (.824) record under Marvin Lewis when scoring 30 or more points, including a stellar 7-1 mark on the road. However, the Bengals have topped the 30-point barrier just once this season – a 51-45 loss at Cleveland (9/16). KC has allowed just one opponent to hit the 30-point plateau in the club’s last 16 home contests, doing it in a 35-30 win vs. JAX (12/31/06). Over that 16-game home stretch, the Chiefs have allowed just 17.2 ppg.

Bengals Rushing Offense vs. Chiefs Rushing Defense The Bengals are 15-4 (.789) when RB Rudi Johnson has a 100-yard

rushing game. Johnson had 165 yards in a 24-19 vs. KC (11/16/03) and posted 96 yards with a 22-yard TD in his most recent contest at Arrowhead (9/10/06). The Chiefs have permitted just 100.8 rushing ypg in 10 contests at Arrowhead under Herm Edwards, a figure that ranks as the eighth-lowest home rushing average in the NFL since 2006. KC has not permitted an individual 100-yard rusher in 24 of its last 25 contests at Arrowhead. It’s been almost 27 years since a Cincinnati player topped the 100-yard rushing plateau at Arrowhead. The last Bengals player to do it was RB Pete Johnson, who had 17 carries for a 112 yards with a 57-yard TD in a 20-6 win at Arrowhead (11/30/80).

Kansas City Seeks to Top the 21-Point Barrier at Arrowhead The Chiefs are typically hard to beat at Arrowhead when they score at least

21 points. KC is 51-7 (.879) at home dating back to ’95 when scoring 21 points or more, including nine straight wins. Kansas City owns an even better 30-4 (.882) mark when scoring 30 points or more at home over the same period.

Cincinnati currently ranks 32nd in the NFL in scoring defense, allowing 32.3 ppg. In the Bengals three losses, the team has actually surrendered 36.3 ppg. Cincinnati has allowed 129 total points on the season, the most by any club that has played only four contests. The Bengals are 1-7 on the road under Marvin Lewis when relinquishing 30 points or more, including a 37-3 loss at Arrowhead (1/1/06). The Chiefs most proficient scoring period has been the fourth quarter, where KC has put up 28 points. The Chiefs have outscored their opponents by a 28-to-10 margin (+18 points) in the fourth quarter, the eighth-best differential in the league. Meanwhile, the Bengals have been outscored by a 27-to-40 margin (-13 points) in the final quarter in 2007.

Winning the Turnover Battle is a Must for Kansas City The Chiefs are 44-4 (.917) at Arrowhead with a positive takeaway margin

dating back to ’95. KC has won 17 consecutive games when positive at home dating back to 2002, the third-longest active streak in the league. Last week, the Chiefs did not force a turnover, snapping a league-long streak of 23 consecutive games with at least one takeaway. KC is 6-2 under head coach Herm Edwards with a positive turnover differential. The Chiefs and Bengals both have 10 takeaways on the season, tying for the sixth-highest total in the NFL this season.

KC was -2 (1 take/3 gives) in a 23-10 loss vs. Cincinnati (9/10/06). The Chiefs will seek to avoid a repeat performance against the Bengals on Sunday after going +2 (8 takes/6 gives) in their last four contests. The Bengals are 25-3 (.893) under Marvin Lewis with a positive turnover mark, but are just 4-23 (.148) when negative. Cincinnati is 1-14 (.067) on the road when negative under Lewis, including a streak of 11 consecutive losses dating back to 2003. Cincinnati is -5 (4 takes/9 gives) during the club’s three-game losing streak.

The Bengals have committed 11 giveaways on the year, meaning only five teams have turned the ball over more frequently. However, the Bengals have registered 40 points off takeaways, meaning only Detroit (48) and Green Bay (41) have produced more takeaway points.

Chiefs Rushing Offense vs. Bengals Rushing Defense Kansas City owns a 13-1 record at Arrowhead when RB Larry Johnson

registers a 100-yard rushing game. The Chiefs are 11-0 at Arrowhead when Johnson rushes for two or more TDs, including a 37-3 win vs. Cincinnati (1/1/06) when Johnson had 26 carries for 201 yards and three TDs. The Chiefs also own a 9-0 record at Arrowhead when Johnson accumulates 30 carries or more.

In 17 career starts at Arrowhead, Johnson has averaged 118.1 rushing ypg and has accumulated 26 rushing TDs. He has topped the 100-yard barrier in 13 of those contests and has registered 51 runs of 10+ yards in those games. The Chiefs last 33 rushing TDs have all been scored by Johnson, the longest streak by one player for one team in NFL history. Johnson and the Chiefs are both seeking their first rushing TD of 2007.

The Chiefs and Johnson will face a Bengals squad that ranks 29th in the league in rushing defense, allowing 152.0 ypg. The Bengals are 32nd in the league, allowing 6.29 yards per rushing attempt on first down. Only Cleveland (8) has allowed more runs of 20+ yards than Cincinnati (7) and Denver (7). Cincinnati has allowed three straight backs to top the 100-yard barrier, including Browns RB Jamal Lewis, who had 216 yards in a 51-45 victory at Cleveland (9/16). The Bengals are 8-20 (.286) under Marvin Lewis when permitting a 100-yard rushing, including a string of six straight losses.

Kansas City’s Pass Defense is Especially Strong in 2007 Kansas City will face a Bengals offense that ranks third in the league,

averaging 282.3 ypg. The Chiefs currently rank fifth in the NFL in pass defense, allowing just 174.4 ypg. Opposing passers have registered a 70.9 composite rating against KC, the fifth-lowest mark in the NFL. The Chiefs defense has gone 15 straight games at home without permitting a 300-yard passer.

QB Carson Palmer owns a 12-13 (.480) record in his 25 road starts. In two previous starts against KC, Palmer has completed 18 of 27 passes (66.7%) for 181 yards with no TDs and no INTs, good for an 85.6 rating. Cincinnati is 14-7 (.667) when Palmer boasts a 100.0-rating game. The Chiefs are 29-3 (.906) at Arrowhead dating back to ’95 when the club forces two or more INTs. Palmer has been picked off two times apiece in each of the Bengals three losses this season. The Bengals offense has registered 18 pass plays of 20+ yards, the fifth-highest total in the league. KC has allowed just nine completions of 20+ yards. Only IND (6), WAS (7) and TB (8) have permitted fewer.

Since the start of the 2002 campaign, KC also boasts a stellar 23-2 (.920) record at home when it registers 2.0 or more sacks. The Chiefs have 15.0 sacks and are on pace to finish the year with 48.0, which would be the club’s highest tally since posting 51.0 sacks in 2000. Chiefs QB Damon Huard is 6-0 with a 100.0+ rating, including a 5-0 mark at Arrowhead. Dating back to 2004, the Bengals are 1-14 (.067) when allowing a passer with a 100.0-rating game, including a streak of nine straight losses.

LAST GAME

Jaguars 17, CJaguars 17, Chiefs hiefs 77October 7, 2007 • Arrowhead Stadium • 76,917

For the fifth straight week the Chiefs dug themselves into a first half hole, but unlike the previous two games they were unable to climb out against Jacksonville. The Jaguars used a ball-control offense and a defense that crowded the line of scrimmage to jump out to a 10-0 halftime lead before registering a 17-7 win at Arrowhead Stadium. Jacksonville came into the game with a simple recipe: establish the run, stop the run and protect the football. They executed that plan to perfection, dominating the time of possession by a 36:43-to-23:17 margin and outrushing the Chiefs by a yardage total of 156 to 10. A lightning-quick first quarter unfolded with a grand total of two possessions, one from each team. Kansas City started fast, taking the opening kickoff and marching 64 yards to the Jaguars 11-yard line. QB Damon Huard completed passes to four different receivers including a 30-yard pickup to TE Kris Wilson on the opening play. However, on third-and-11 from the 13-yard line, Huard’s pass was knocked down at the line of scrimmage. K Dave Rayner then pushed the subsequent field goal try wide left leaving the score tied at 0-0. The Jaguars responded with a drive that would gobble up the remainder of the first period, a methodical 18-play possession that consumed 10:55 off the clock, the second-longest drive in terms of elapsed time in Jaguars history. Using three third-down conversions – including a 16-yard pass from QB David Garrard to WR Dennis Northcutt on third-and-15 – Jacksonville covered 87 yards in 17 plays. The Chiefs defense would stiffen inside the 10-yard line, holding the Jaguars to a 20-yard field goal. The Chiefs would move the ball again on their second drive of the game with two first-down passes to TE Tony Gonzalez, but the march stalled near midfield. Jacksonville wouldn’t take nearly as long to light up the scoreboard on its second try as RB Maurice Jones-Drew broke off a 52-yard touchdown run for a 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter. The second half opened with six straight punts – three from each team – before the Jaguars went on the attack again. A 40-yard pass from Garrard to Northcutt moved them down to the KC 15-yard line. Five plays later on third-and-goal from the three-yard line, Garrard slung a touchdown pass to Northcutt for a commanding 17-0 lead with 8:26 remaining in the game. Garrard’s squad finished the game converting eight of 15 third downs (53.3%). After Huard left the game in the fourth quarter with a shoulder contusion, second-year QB Brodie Croyle stepped under center looking to avoid the shutout. The Chiefs went three-and-out in his first possession, but he rallied the troops on the game’s final drive. Croyle completed a fourth-down pass to rookie RB Kolby Smith to keep the chains moving, then launched a 35-yard pass to WR Dwayne Bowe down to the Jacksonville 13-yard line. Following three incomplete passes, Croyle floated a touchdown pass to WR Samie Parker to avoid the shutout and complete the scoring at 17-7.

GAME NOTES• With eight catches for 100 yards, TE Tony Gonzalez tied WR Otis Taylor for the Chiefs career record with his 19th 100-yard receiving game.

The 2006 NFL regular season got underway, but the Chiefs were left looking for a mulligan. After scoring first, Kansas City watched the Bengals roll up 20 straight points before Cincinnati pulled away for a 23-10 win at a soggy Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs may have lost their regular season opener, but the team had more important matters on their minds. The game was marred by a frightening head injury to QB Trent Green, who was carted off the field after an 11-minute delay while the Chiefs medical staff stabilized him for transport.

With Kansas City trailing 20-3 late in the third quarter, Green was doing everything possible to will the Chiefs back. The two-time Pro Bowl passer scrambled from the backfield to pick up a first down, but as he went down into a hook slide, Bengals DE Robert Geathers dove and delivered a severe blow to Green’s head.

With Green out of action, backup QB Damon Huard was thrust into his first regular season duty as a member of the Chiefs. The last time Huard attempted a pass was as a member of the Patriots vs. Buffalo (12/27/03).

Huard’s first drive under center reached the Cincinnati 21-yard line, but the team came up empty when K Lawrence Tynes missed a 51-yard field goal.

Cincinnati would add another field goal to go ahead 20-3 early in the fourth quarter before Huard would find his rhythm. Kansas City’s offense marched 90 yards on 11 plays and capped the drive with a nine-yard TD strike to TE Tony Gonzalez. The All-Pro tight end caught 10 passes for 81 yards in the game. Huard completed six passes for 71 yards on the drive and threw his first TD pass since 2000 to slice the deficit to 20-10 with just 3:52 remaining in the game.

After a failed onside kick attempt, KC’s defense – which allowed just 236 total yards of offense on the day – held and gave the offense one last chance. However, Kansas City failed to move the ball on four tries and turned it back over to Cincinnati. A late 36-yard field goal from the Bengals ended the scoring at 23-10 and the disappointing day at Arrowhead Stadium.

Tied 3-3 midway through the second quarter, Cincinnati went to the no-huddle offense and coincidentally QB Carson Palmer started heating up. After throwing for just nine yards in the first quarter, the Pro Bowl passer connected on all five passes on the drive for 51 yards. Then on third-and-one from the KC 22-yard line, he handed off to RB Rudi Johnson and watched him escape the backfield and dash up the middle and into the end zone for a 10-3 lead with 5:15 remaining.

A Kansas City three-and-out and a short punt gave the ball back to the dangerous Bengals offense on the KC 37-yard line with just over 3:00 remaining before intermission. Rudi Johnson sprung a 16-yard run on the second play from scrimmage setting the Bengals up on KC 14. From there, backup RB Kenny Watson caught an eight-yard pass in the flat and then scampered around the left end for an eight-yard TD run. Watson’s score staked the visitors to a 17-3 lead at halftime en route to the 23-10 Cincinnati win.
