Chiefs VS Broncos Post Game

The Kansas City Chiefs (8-4) defeated the Denver Broncos (3-9) 10-6 in a sloppy game at Arrowhead Stadium.  The win avenged an earlier loss against Denver and gave the Chiefs a 2 game lead in the dividion with only 4 to play.

Bowe's show was put on hold.  Dwayne Bowe came into the game with a record 7 straight games with a TD catch and had been playing lights out football for the Chiefs.  Well not only did he not catch a TD, he didnt catch a ball.  Champ Bailey did  a great job on Bowe and no doubt he was bracketed by safties, but Bowe needs to atleast show up in the box score.  Dont expect this to become a trend, Bowe has a lot to prove this year and wont let 1 game derail his goals.

Chiefs Secondary outplays Broncos passing attack.  The Broncos are primarily a passing offense.  Orton does a great job getting the ball out quickly and his recievers make plays.  Sunday that was all thrown out the window.  Orton was held to 9-28 (32.1%) for 117 yards.  Thats a 46.3 QB rating for a guy who boasts a 93.0 rating on the year.  The Chiefs secondary was all over the feild and showed it can be a huge differense maker down the stretch. 

Charles gaining more yards with more reps.  Over the last few games the Chiefs game planning has Charles carrying the rock more then Jones and its been paying dividens in the W L collums.  Charles gained 116 yards on 21 carries while the Chiefs as a whole ran for 185 yards.  Charles getting the bulk of the carries is the winning formula the Chiefs need to stick with down the stretch as Charles is boasting a 6.2 yards per carry average.

Haley went soft.  Haley is a rough and tough coach and KC is better because of it.  Sunday after the bell he chose to do the politically correct thing and give McDaniels a hug.  Sure its good sportsmanship and the right thing to do, but a hug? Come on Haley, you cant get soft on KC fans now.

Kansas City has a huge matchup with San Diego next week.  Win that game and the Chargers are eliminated for contention.  Lose and the Division crown likely comes down to the final regular season game against Oakland.  Get ready for a slobber knocker ladies and gentleman.
