Kansas City Strikes First

January 1st, 2012 - 2:57pm by Kenny LeganOther posts by

The Chiefs are the first team to put points on the board today courtesy of a 21-yard touchdown run from Dexter McCluster with 11 seconds left in the first quarter.

McCluster took the handoff to the left side from quarterback Kyle Orton, cut back to the right and raced to the front pylon for the score. The 5-foot-8, 170-pound back is the leading rusher for the Chiefs thus far, running five times for 60 yards and the score.

Kansas City has controlled the game for the majority of the quarter. The Chiefs have gained 162 yards and nine first downs while the Broncos have just 16 yards and are still seeking their first first down of the game.

Denver will open the second quarter with second-and-8 from its own 22-yard line.

Tebow Puts the Broncos on the Board

November 13th, 2011 - 12:23pm by Kenny LeganOther posts by

Quarterback Tim Tebow runs into the end zone on a quarterback draw on the Broncos first possession to put Denver up 7-0 with 7:31 left in the first quarter.

The Broncos ran eight plays on the drive, all of which were runs. Running back Willis McGahee ran four times for 17 yards while Knowshon Moreno provided the highlight of the series, bringing back memories of his college days at Georgia. He took on second-and-7 at the Chiefs 30-yard line, bounced to the outside and hurdled a defender before being dragged down at the 6-yard line.

McGahee took the next carry, but he was injured on the play. He walked off with help before Tebow ran into the end zone on the next play.

K.C. Jinx?

December 5th, 2010 - 4:01pm by mark_cooperOther posts by

Nope don’t think so. No Jinx. Players play and coaches coach.

Here’s what I saw, and I know this will get some folks lathered up. I saw what I thought was a pretty good game plan. I saw a lot of jawing and finger pointing and hustle and “want to win” attitude. I liked the attitudes, I hope this creates more of a rivalry again…maybe?

Q3 14:00: On first down, Andra Davis cuts through the offensive line and takes down Charles for a 20-yard loss. On second down, Lawrence takes the ball on an end around and gains 26-yards on the reverse play, bringing the ball out to the Kansas City 45-yard line.

Q3 13:03: A quick pass to Chambers results in a 5-yard gain out to midfield. On the next play, Charles picks up 5-yards and a Chiefs first down at the Denver 45-yard line.

Broncos at Chiefs: Second Half Live Blog

December 6th, 2009 - 12:39pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

Q3 15:00: Matt Prater is out to kick off to the Chiefs, who deferred after winning the toss at the start of the game. The kickoff is returned to the 26-yard line.

Q3 14:56: The Chiefs run the ball on first down — a two-yard gain by fullback Tim Castille. On second down, Mario Haggan nearly sacks Matt Cassel, but the quarterback escapes. Andra Davis immediately takes over the pressure, however, forcing Cassel toward the sideline, but Cassel lets go of an incomplete pass at the last moment to avoid a sack.

Q3 14:08: A pass on third down falls incomplete, and the Chiefs are out to punt. It was quarterback Brodie Croyle back to punt, however, and the Chiefs fake it. Croyle backs up to fire a pass, but Richard Quinn sprints into the backfield, leaps and tips the pass to ensure an incompletion and turnover on downs.

Paying Tribute

December 3rd, 2009 - 3:07pm by Zach EisendrathOther posts by

At halftime of the Broncos’ Week 13 matchup with AFC West rival Kansas City, the Chiefs will retire the No. 58 of late Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas, who holds franchise records for sacks, safeties, fumble recoveries, and forced fumbles.

To Elvis Dumervil, the ceremony will hold a little bit of an extra meaning. Like Thomas, Dumervil was born in Miami. His high school, Miami Jackson High School, was about a 15-mile drive from Thomas’ high school, South Miami Senior High School.

Growing up in such close quarters to the nine-time Pro Bowler, Dumervil always looked up to his hometown counterpart and his accomplishments on the football field, trying to model his game after the elite pass rusher.

“I thought he was kind of so-called undersized, playing the position that he was playing as a rusher at the time,” Dumervil said. “He was very explosive. He made big plays. He changed the game, getting off, the forced fumbles, the what — seven sacks in one game? He was a trend setter and he will always be remembered.”
