Cheifs we're at home this week. Taking on the lonely Texans. The
Cheifs had a very rough start to the game. On their first drive
of the game Trent Green threw a very dumb interception. But the
defense was on point in the game only allowing the Texans a
field goal on the turnover. The first half was very rough for
the Cheifs. Green only threw 7 passes in the first half. And
half of those were picked off. He did over a 100 yards in the
first half so it wasn't all bad. Plus the defense held the
Texans to only to 6 points in the first half. Their only score
of the game in the first half came from the human joy stick
Dante Hall. Who ran back a 98 yard return for a touchdown. Hall
was on fire to. After being stopped the first 2 weeks he went
off today. He had 7 returns for over 140 yards and 2 touchdowns.
In the first two weeks he didn't get past the 50 yard line and
today he ran back a punt and a kickoff back. The second half is
when the Cheifs really stepped up and started scoring. Green
finally calmed down and didn't turn the ball over again. Green
was 8-13 for 195 yards 1 touchdown and 3 interecptions. The
interecptions hurt but the defense and run game helped him out.
Priest Holmes was 10 for 173 yards and one score and Larry
Johnson also helped out with 119 yards on only 4 attempts and 2
touchdowns. Obviously the passing game wasn't much of a factor
but Gonzalez was still able to put up good numbers. With 5
receptions for 155 yards and one touchdown. No one else stepped
up to help Gonzalez out. The next closes to Tony was Hall who
had 2 receptions for 28 yards. Hall didn't need to do much in
the passing game he did enough on the return game. The defense
had a tough a day though. They gave up 407 yards. But 304 yards
of those were through the air. They were able to stop them from
scoring but Carr was able to go through them like it was
nothing. But towards the end of the game they were able to shut
down Carr. They also gave up 103 yards rushing as well. It
wasnt easy for the defense. Plus it didn't help that the offense
wasn't doing much to help them out. A bright spot for the
defense was Finley. He was all over the field, he ended up
getting 6 tackles and he almost got a sack today. He had 4
broken up passes and he was doing everything he could to help
his team out in everyway. Fujita had good game as well. He had 8
tackles and one sack. Next week the Chiefs will be at the Ravens
for their next game. If they want to keep their winning streak
going they need to hold on to the ball and not turn it over. The
Ravens will make them pay for it big time.
