THE MATCH-UP Kansas City concludes an unusual two-game coast-to-coast road

trip with a visit to San Diego this week. The Chiefs are coming off a 30-20 win at Miami (10/21) in a contest that was hastily rescheduled for Friday night in order to avoid the wrath of Hurricane Wilma. The Chiefs are attempting to extend their winning streak to three games with a solid effort this week on the Pacific Coast. Sunday’s game at Qualcomm Stadium marks the season’s first meeting between the Chiefs (4-2) and Chargers (3-4), who are both attempting to keep pace with division-leading Denver (5-2) in the AFC West standings. San Diego enters the game after a tough 20-17 loss at Philadelphia (10/23).

Although the 2005 NFL season has yet to hit the midway point, this week’s contest could have major implications in the AFC playoff chase. San Diego is the defending AFC West champion and is seeking to secure back-to-back division titles for the first time since taking three straight crowns from ’79-81. Winning at San Diego has typically been a postseason precursor for the Chiefs. Since the franchise arrived in Kansas City in ’63, the club owns 13 playoff berths. The Chiefs registered road wins against the Chargers in 11 of those 13 seasons with the only exceptions being the ’94 and ’71 campaigns.

Both Dick Vermeil and Marty Schottenheimer will be exhorting their clubs to win the turnover battle this week. KC is 16-1 when it owns a positive turnover mark dating back to 2003, including a streak of seven consecutive wins. SD was third in the NFL with a +15 mark a year ago and has won eight straight games with a positive turnover ratio.

The Chiefs turned in solid performances in all three phases of the game in Friday’s victory vs. the Dolphins. Kansas City’s offense registered a season-high 462 yards of total offense and three rushing TDs, while KC’s defense forced eight punts, the club’s highest tally since forcing eight punts in a 49-0 win vs. Arizona (12/1/02). On special teams, K Lawrence Tynes joined K Nick Lowery as just the second player in team history to register a pair of FGs from 50+ yards in the same game. Up next for the Chiefs is a home date vs. Oakland (11/6), while the Chargers visit the N.Y. Jets (11/6).

THE SERIES Kansas City holds a 47-42-1 all-time advantage over San Diego in

regular and postseason play. The only team the Chiefs have defeated more frequently is Denver (50). All 47 of those victories against San Diego have come in regular season play. The Chiefs are 5-3 vs. San Diego under Dick Vermeil. The Chargers swept Kansas City in 2004, marking the first time that had occurred since the ’96 campaign. The Chiefs haven’t lost three straight to San Diego since suffering a five-game losing streak to the Chargers from ’87-89.

The Chargers won last season’s contest at Qualcomm Stadium by a

24-17 count (1/2/05). The Chargers haven’t won two consecutive home games against the Chiefs since ’99-00. The last six Chiefs-Chargers games at Qualcomm have all been decided by seven points or less, including a trio of one-point decisions.

The initial meeting between these two squads was the first regular season game in the history of both franchises when the Dallas Texans lost a 21-20 decision to the L.A. Chargers at the L.A. Coliseum (9/10/60). SD claimed the lone postseason tilt between the two clubs, a 17-0 victory in a ’92 AFC Wild Card Playoff Game at San Diego (1/2/93).

HOME TEAM IN ALL CAPS

REMEMBERING HANK STRAM (1923-2005) This season the Chiefs are remembering Hank Stram, who passed

away on July 4th, by wearing a helmet sticker with his initials during the entire 2005 campaign. A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2003, Stram served as the franchise’s head coach from 1960-74, compiling a 124-76-10 regular season record and a 5-3 playoff mark. He guided the club to three AFL titles and a win in Super Bowl IV. His many contributions to the game include the two-tight end offense, the stack defense and the moving pocket. Perhaps the most fitting compliment paid to Stram came courtesy of QB Len Dawson at Stram’s HOF enshrinement in 2003. “I wear a Super Bowl ring on one hand and a Hall of Fame ring on the other,” Dawson remarked. “I know I wouldn’t have had either one if it hadn’t been for this guy – Hank Stram.”

REMEMBERING P JERREL WILSON (1941-2005) The Chiefs also lost another link to their Super Bowl IV squad this off-

season when P Jerrel Wilson passed away on April 9th. Wilson served as the club’s punter from 1963-77 and still holds an NFL record by leading the league in punting four times (’65, ’68, ’72-73). A member of the AFL’s All-Time Team, he was inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Fame in ’88.

NFL FALL MEETINGS IN KANSAS CITY The Kansas City Chiefs will be hosting the Fall Session of the 2005

NFL Annual Meeting in Kansas City on Wednesday, October 26th and Thursday, October 27th at the Westin Crown Center. Among notable topics on the agenda are the pending extension of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, as well as the discussion of future Super Bowl sites.

HELLO, OLD FRIEND Chiefs President Carl Peterson and SD head coach Marty Schottenheimer

were the longest-running GM-head coach tandem in pro sports during the ’90s, producing a 101-58-1 record in KC from ’89-98. The Chiefs made seven playoff appearances during that span.

PRIEST HOLMES VS. LADAINIAN TOMLINSON

Since RB Priest Holmes joined the Chiefs as an unrestricted free agent in 2001 and San Diego drafted RB LaDainian Tomlinson that same year, this pair of AFC West running backs have been two of the league’s most productive performers. Here’s a look at where Holmes and Tomlinson stack up in some key statistical areas since the start of the 2001 campaign . . .

STILLS CLOSING IN ON KC SPECIAL TEAMS RECORD Chiefs LB Gary Stills is closing on Kansas City’s career record for special

teams tackles, a mark currently held by Chargers LBs coach Greg Manusky.

Dick Vermeil was named the ninth head coach in Chiefs history on January 12, 2001 following head coaching stints with Philadelphia (’76-82) and St. Louis (‘97-99). He is one of just four coaches in NFL history to lead two different teams to the Super Bowl and has twice been named NFL Coach of the Year.

The Calistoga, California native began his NFL coaching career with the L.A. Rams (’69, ‘71-73) serving as the team’s special teams, RBs, and QBs coach and offensive coordinator. During his tenure as head coach in Philadelphia (’76-82), he compiled a 54-47 record. In ’78, Vermeil guided the Eagles to their first playoff appearance in 12 years. He then led the ’80 Eagles to a 12-4 record to earn a trip to Super Bowl XV.

Vermeil returned to the sidelines as the head coach of St. Louis for three seasons (’97-99), guiding the Rams to a 13-3 record in ’99, concluding the year with a win in Super Bowl XXXIV. A standout quarterback at San Jose State, Vermeil served as an assistant at Stanford (’65-68) and UCLA (’70) before taking over the head coaching duties for the Bruins from ’74-75. In ’75, he led UCLA to a 23-10 victory over #1 ranked Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.

MARTY SCHOTTENHEIMER NFL Head Coach: 20th Year NFL Coach Overall: 29th Year NFL Overall: 185-132-1 (.583) Reg. Season: 180-121-1 (.598) Record w/CLE: 44-27 (.620) Record w/KC: 101-58-1 (.634) Record w/WASH: 8-8 (.500) Record w/SD: 27-28 (.491) College: Pittsburgh (’65)

Marty Schottenheimer was named the 13th head coach in

Chargers history on January 29, 2002. He joined the Chargers following head coaching stints with Cleveland (’84-88), Kansas City (’89-98) and Washington (2001). He is the fifth coach in NFL history to direct three different clubs to the playoffs after leading San Diego to the postseason in 2004. Schottenheimer compiled a 101-58-1 record in KC, the best winning pct (.634) in Chiefs history. During his 10 years in Kansas City, Schottenheimer’s teams compiled nine straight winning seasons, seven playoff berths and three division titles.

Born in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania on September 23, 1943, Schottenheimer began his NFL coaching career with the N.Y. Giants (’75-77) as LBs coach and defensive coordinator. After two seasons coaching LBs with Detroit (’78-79) he went to Cleveland (’80-84), coaching LBs, DBs and serving as defensive coordinator before being named the head coach of the Browns midway through the ’84 season.

An All-America LB at Pitt, Schottenheimer was a fifth-round draft pick of Buffalo in ’65 and played with the Bills from ’65-68 before a two-year stint with the Boston Patriots from ’69-70.

Chiefs-Chargers Games in San Diego Frequently Feature Fantastic Finishes by Pete Moris

Getting Off to a Good Start is Important vs. San Diego Getting off to a good start is always important, especially at San

Diego. Teams holding a halftime lead have won 11 of the last 13 games in the Chiefs-Chargers series dating back to the ’97 season. Dating back to last season, the Chargers are 12-2 in games when they score first and are 11-3 when leading at halftime over that same span. Since Marty Schottenheimer took over the Chargers in 2002, San Diego is just 4-21 when trailing at halftime, including last week’s 20-17 loss at PHI (10/23). KC has won four of its last five games when leading after two quarters. The Chiefs have shut out five of their six opponents in the first quarter this season. KC’s offense has scored 24 points on its opening possessions in 2005, the second-best tally in the NFL behind only BUF (34).

Close Calls and Fantastic Finishes Frequent at San Diego Eight of the last nine Chiefs-Chargers games at SD have been

decided by seven points or less. Just 12 points separate the teams in those nine games, with KC holding a slim 288-to-276 scoring edge. In fact, 10 games (excluding ties) in the Chiefs-Chargers series have been decided by one point dating back to the inaugural AFL season in ’60, by far the highest total of any series in the league over that span. Three of the last six Chiefs-Chargers games at SD have been one-point contests.

San Diego is 8-3 at home dating back to the start of the 2004 season with all three of those losses coming by six points or less. This season, the Chargers four losses have all come by four points or less with those four setbacks coming by a total of just 12 points. Including a ’92 AFC Divisional Playoff contest, 12 of the last 14 Chiefs-Chargers games played at San Diego have been won by the team scoring last. KC has scored the final points in four of its six games this season, while SD’s opponents have scored the final points in all four of the Chargers losses this season.

KC’s Defense Continues Its Strong Play Against the Run The Chiefs rushing defense currently ranks eighth in the NFL, allowing

just 95.5 ypg, a 29.7 ypg improvement from the six-game mark in 2004. KC’s defense will face a staunch test in San Diego against a Chargers rushing offense that currently ranks ninth in the NFL, averaging 130.0 ypg. The Chiefs and Chargers have split their six games since Marty Schottenheimer joined San Diego in 2002. In KC’s three wins vs. SD over that span, the Chiefs have permitted just one rushing TD. In KC’s three losses vs. SD dating back to 2002, KC has allowed six rushing TDs.

Clearly, slowing down RB LaDainian Tomlinson is the key to stifling San Diego’s rushing attack. The Chargers have won 10 consecutive games when Tomlinson produces a 100-yard rushing game, but are actually 0-3 in games when Tomlinson has a 100-yard outing vs. the Chiefs. Although SD has averaged 162.8 rushing yards per game in its 15 victories dating back to the start of the 2004 season, Tomlinson has averaged just 81.6 ypg in seven career starts vs. KC. In his last three contests against KC, Tomlinson has been held to just 186 rushing yards, an average of just 62.0 ypg.

Last week, Philadelphia’s defense held Tomlinson to a career-low seven rushing yards. The next-lowest rushing totals of Tomlinson’s career both came against the Chiefs. He was held to 31 yards in a 25-20 loss vs. KC (11/4/01) and 34 yards in a 27-14 loss at KC (9/7/03), posting long runs of eight yards in both contests.

San Diego’s defense has also been adept at stopping the run this season, ranking second in the league in rushing defense, allowing just 76.0 ypg. The Chargers have gone nine straight games without permitting a 100-yard RB, a mark that ties as the third-longest streak in the league. However, San Diego is 2-19 in games when it permits an individual 100-yard rusher dating back to ’97. Last week, the Chiefs racked up a season-high 45 carries for 185 yards in a 30-20 win at Miami (10/21).

Turnovers Are Always Stressed by Vermeil, Schottenheimer Winning the turnover battle will unquestionably be a key to this week’s

contest. KC has won eight of its last nine games on the road when owning a positive turnover mark dating back to 2003. Overall, KC is 16-1 when it owns a positive takeaway/giveaway mark dating back to 2003, including a streak of seven consecutive wins. The Chiefs are +7 (9 takes/2 gives) in their four wins in 2005 and haven’t committed a giveaway in their last two games. Meanwhile, KC’s opponents have fumbled a league-high 19 times in 2005 with the Chiefs recovering eight of those fumbles.

Since Schottenheimer arrived in San Diego in 2002, the Chargers are 18-6 with a positive turnover ratio, including a streak of eight consecutive wins. There’s a clear correlation between victory and defeat and the turnover ratio for the Chargers, particularly at Qualcomm. SD is 14-2 at home under Schottenheimer when even or positive and just 1-10 when it has a negative turnover mark. Dating back to 2000, SD owns just a 3-32 record with a negative turnover margin no matter where the game is played, including last week’s 20-17 loss at PHI (10/23) when SD was -1.

KC, SD Are Two of the NFL’s Most Productive Rushing Squads Dating back to the start of the 2001 season, the Chiefs and Chargers

have been the NFL’s two most proficient teams in terms of scoring rushing TDs. Kansas City owns 115 rushing scores over that span, while San Diego is second with 82 ground TDs. Only SEA (13) has more rushing TDs than KC, SD and IND (10) this season. In terms of team rushing yards from 2001-05, the Chiefs (9,426) and Chargers (9,073) rank fourth and fifth respectively in the league over that span.

Chiefs RB Priest Holmes leads all NFL players with 76 rushing TDs from 2001-05, while SD RB LaDainian Tomlinson is third in that department with 64. Holmes had a pair of rushing TDs in a 30-20 win at Miami (10/21), marking the 23rd time he’s registered two or more ground scores in a game as a member of the Chiefs. Although Holmes missed both games against SD due to injury in 2004, he registered two rushing scores in his last two outings against the Chargers. In five career contests vs. SD as a member of the Chiefs, he’s averaged 114.2 rushing ypg.

When the Chiefs and Chargers record a victory, a rushing TD is typically involved. KC has a ground TD in its last 19 wins, the longest active streak in the league. SD owns the next-longest streak at 16 victories. Last week, the Chargers had a streak of 24 consecutive games with a rushing TD snapped. Tomlinson also had his NFL-record string of 18 consecutive games with a rushing TD halted, coming one game shy of taking sole possession of the NFL record for consecutive games scoring a TD of any sort, a mark he now shares with former Colts RB Lenny Moore. San Diego owns a 15-4 record when Tomlinson scores two or more total TDs (rushing or receiving), but he has only accomplished that feat once vs. KC, getting two rushing TDs in a 34-31 Chargers win at KC (11/28/04).

*Prior to Monday Night Football Chiefs-Chargers Scoring Stats to Consider SD currently ranks second in the NFL in scoring, averaging 27.6 ppg.

Kansas City has won 18 consecutive games when holding foes to 21 points or less, a mark that ranks as the third-longest active streak in the league. KC has held its foes to 21 points or less in all four of its wins in 2005, allowing an average of just 16.3 ppg in those contests. The Chiefs have won their last three meetings with SD when holding the Chargers to 21 points or less. SD has averaged 37.7 ppg in its three wins in 2005, but has been held to 20.0 ppg in its four losses.

KC is 5-1 on the road when scoring 30 points or more dating back to 2003. The Chargers are 8-1 in all games when topping the 30-point margin dating back to last season. The Chargers have won their last four meetings with the Chiefs when topping the 30-point barrier and are a perfect 9-0 at home under Marty Schottenheimer when scoring 30+ points.

TE Tony Gonzalez Typically Has Big Days vs. San Diego In his last meeting with the Chargers, Chiefs TE Tony Gonzalez

established a KC single-game record with 14 receptions (1/2/05), the second-best single-game tally ever amassed by an NFL tight end. Gonzalez’s 144 receiving yards in that game were also the second-best tally of his career. Gonzalez topped the 100-yard barrier in both his outings against the Chargers last season, combining for 22 catches and 249 yards.

Tynes Dials Long Distance in the FG Department Chiefs K Lawrence Tynes has made a FG in nine consecutive games.

Last week at Miami (10/21), he became just the second player in KC history to boot two FGs of 50+ yards in the same game. Here’s a look . . . Player 50-Yard FGs Opponent Date Nick Lowery 50, 57 vs. Seattle 9/14/80 Nick Lowery 52, 52 at New Orleans 9/8/85 Nick Lowery 52, 52 at Detroit 11/26/87 Lawrence Tynes 51, 52 at Miami 10/21/05

Hall, Sproles Set to Square Off in Return Game, Other Stat Tidbits WR Dante Hall owns a share of an NFL record with six career KO

return TDs. His 10 career kick return TDs (KOs and punts) are the third-highest total in NFL history. Last year, Hall registered a 96-yard KO return TD vs. San Diego (11/28/04). RB Darren Sproles is a native of Olathe, KS and is a Kansas State product. He currently ranks sixth in the NFL with a 26.8-yard KO return average, while Hall is close behind in eighth (25.8) … QB Trent Green’s 53 pass attempts at SD (1/2/05) were the second-highest single-game total of his career … SD has allowed 152 first downs this season, only SF (152) and STL (153) have permitted more.

In an unusual scheduling quirk due to the impending arrival of Hurricane Wilma, Kansas City played under the Friday night lights in the regular season for the first time since ’64. Despite flying to Miami on the day of the game instead of observing their normal schedule for a Sunday game, the Chiefs beat the Dolphins by a 30-20 count at Dolphins Stadium. Kansas City jumped out to an early 7-0 lead when a 50-yard pass to WR Chris Horn set up a score on the opening drive. Holmes ran around the left end and followed the blocks of T Willie Roaf and WR Eddie Kennison for a five-yard TD. The Chiefs defense pitched a first-quarter shutout and only relinquished two Miami field goals in the first half. Kansas City would add a two-yard RB Larry Johnson touchdown run to give KC a 14-6 lead at intermission. After a first half that only featured 20 points between the two teams, it only took 1:01 for both teams to score a touchdown in the second half. First, it was Miami RB Ronnie Brown breaking off a 65-yard run down the left sideline for a touchdown to cut the Chiefs lead 14-13 only 20 seconds into the third quarter. Kansas City took a mere 41 seconds to respond with a touchdown of its own when RB Priest Holmes scored on a 35-yard touchdown run, his second of the game. K Lawrence Tynes would add field goals of 30, 51 and a career-long 52 yards to increase the Chiefs lead to 30-13 midway through the fourth quarter. Tynes joined K Nick Lowery as just the only other player in team history to register a pair of 50-yard FGs in the same game. QB Sage Rosenfels relieved Miami starter Gus Frerotte in the fourth quarter and promptly completed a 77-yard TD pass to WR Chris Chambers. It cut the lead to 30-20 in favor of the Chiefs. Kansas City recovered Miami’s ensuing onside kick and salted away the victory. The Chiefs two-headed rushing attack was at its finest on Friday night. Holmes carried the ball 18 times for 90 yards (5.0 avg.) with two touchdowns, while Johnson added 23 rushes for 93 yards (4.0 avg.) with a score of his own. TE Tony Gonzalez recorded a season-high seven receptions for 67 yards (9.6 avg.) on the evening and QB Trent Green completed 20 of 34 passes for 289 yards for an 86.5 rating. Kansas City held the ball for 41:40 compared to just 18:20 for Miami. The Kansas City defense also proved its mettle, recording an INT and allowing Frerotte just 125 yards on 11-of-29 passing, good for a mere 37.3 rating.

GAME NOTES• Kansas City’s win at Miami marked was the franchise’s first regular season victory on a Friday night since the Dallas Texans registered a 27-7 win at Boston (10/12/62).• The Chiefs defense forced eight punts, the club’s highest tally since forcing eight punts in a 49-0 win vs. Arizona (12/1/02).• RB Priest Holmes (1,261) bypassed RB Christian Okoye (1,246) for the most rushing attempts in KC history.• QB Trent Green (17,452) moved ahead of QB Bill Kenney (17,277) into second on the Chiefs career passing yardage chart.

The Chiefs wrapped up the 2004 season with a 24-17 loss to the AFC West Champion San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium. After mounting a 24-3 lead midway through the fourth quarter, the Chargers held off a frantic comeback from the Chiefs for a 24-17 win.

Resting several starters, San Diego opened the scoring with a 34-yard field goal. Kansas City seemed poised to answer until an INT at the SD 11-yard line returned the ball to the Chargers.

The Chiefs defense returned the favor minutes later as S Greg Wesley intercepted P Mike Scifres after a bad hold forced him to improvise. Kansas City cashed in on the INT with a 50-yard field goal from K Lawrence Tynes to tie the score at 3-3.

San Diego went back on top with a one-yard TD sneak from QB Doug Flutie. After a Chiefs punt, the KC defense forced another turnover. LB Monty Beisel picked up a fumble forced by CB Benny Sapp. However another Chiefs INT set up the Chargers second TD, this time a 10-yard pass from Flutie to TE Ryan Krause for a 17-3 halftime lead.

The Chargers would push the count to 24-3 when rookie QB Phillip Rivers threw his first career TD pass, a 13-yard completion to WR Malcom Floyd. Then the Chiefs offense seemed to awaken as a two-yard TD run from RB Larry Johnson cut the lead to 24-10 with 4:15 left in the game.

The Chiefs then recovered an onside kick, turning it into another Johnson score, this time on a 14-yard TD pass to move within 24-17. After an unsuccessful onside kick attempt, the Red and Gold defense forced a punt and gave the ball back to their offense at their own nine-yard line with 0:59 remaining and no timeouts. The Chiefs advanced to the KC 30-yard line, but Greenʼs deep pass attempt to Hall was intercepted by CB Drayton Florence, ending the Kansas City comeback bid and the 2004 season.

In the loss, the Chiefs did manage to set several impressive records. With 26 first downs, Kansas City established an NFL record for first downs in a season with 398. TE Tony Gonzalez established a Chiefs single-game record with 14 catches good for 144 yards, the second-highest total of his NFL career. The Pro Bowl TE also set an NFL single-season record for catches by a tight end with 102, passing New England TE Ben Coates who caught 96 passes in ʼ94. Gonzalez broke the Chiefs single-season record for catches and set the club record for receptions in a game as well. QB Trent Green also capped a brilliant season by breaking Chiefs records for both completions (369) and passing yards (4,591) in a season.

GAME NOTES• TE Tony Gonzalezʼs 14 receptions were the second-highest single-game total by a tight end in NFL history. San Diego TE Kellen Winslow had 15 receptions at Green Bay (10/7/84). • QB Trent Green established a single-season franchise record with his eighth 300-yard passing game of the season.• DE Eric Hicks registered his fifth sack of the season, giving him 40.5 in his career, moving him ahead of DT Bill Maas (40.0) for fifth in KC history.
