HUARD’S HEROICS

FROM COASTAL CAROLINA TO THE NFL

Chiefs QB Damon Huard owns a 7-1 record with Kansas City when he posts a 100.0-rating game, including a 7-0 mark as a starter. In those eight 100.0-rating contests, he has thrown 13 TDs and no INTs. Huard owns a 15-11 record as an NFL starter, including a 10-10 record with KC. In Huard’s 10 victories as Kansas City’s starter, he has completed 185 of 280 passes (66.1%) for 2,279 yards with 16 TDs and three INTs, good for a 105.6 rating.

Chiefs QB Tyler Thigpen became the fi rst player from Coastal Carolina to be selected in the NFL Draft when he was tabbed by Minnesota (D7-07). The Winnsboro, SC native completed 486 of 879 passes for 6,598 yards with 53 TDs for the Chanticleers and also rushed for 1,626 yards and 13 TDs. Thigpen made his initial NFL start for the Chiefs at Atlanta (9/21).

Kansas City makes just its second-ever trip to Charlotte as the Chiefs face the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday (10/5). The Chiefs only previous visit to the Queen City came in ’97 and resulted in a 35-14 triumph (9/21/97) over a Panthers squad that was coming off an appearance in the ’96 NFC Championship Game. Former collegiate teammates at San Diego State, Herm Edwards and John Fox will meet for the second time as NFL head coaches. The Chiefs registered their initial victory of the 2008 season in convincing fashion last week, recording a 33-19 win vs. previously-undefeated Denver (9/28). Two-time Pro Bowl RB Larry Johnson rolled up 198 rushing yards and two TDs. Meanwhile, Kansas City’s defense forced four turnovers against Denver, including two fumble recoveries. The Chiefs currently lead the NFL with seven fumble recoveries on the season. Carolina enters this week’s contest at 3-1 after a 24-9 win vs. Atlanta (9/28), the 100th regular season victory in Panthers history. This week, Chiefs nine-time Pro Bowl TE Tony Gonzalez (10,058) needs just three more yards to surpass TE Shannon Sharpe (10,060) for the most receiving yards by a tight end in NFL history. Gonzalez already owns more receptions (838) and receiving TDs (68) than any tight end in NFL history. Gonzalez was a rookie the last time KC played in Carolina. In three career games vs. the Panthers, he has 14 catches for 159 yards with one TD. Panthers QB Jake Delhomme joined Carolina in 2003 and promptly guided the Panthers to a berth in Super Bowl XXXVIII. Delhomme has a pair of talented receiving targets in three-time Pro Bowl WR Steve Smith and two-time Pro Bowl WR Mushin Muhammad. Delhomme and Smith will face a Chiefs defense that is permitting just 202.8 passing ypg. Next Sunday Kansas City will enjoy a bye week before returning to action vs. Tennessee at Arrowhead (10/19). Next up for Carolina is a trip to Tampa Bay (10/12).

VS.

Herm Edwards was named the 10th head coach in Kansas City history on January 9, 2006. The fi rst coach in franchise history to guide the Chiefs to the playoffs in his initial season, he helped the 2006 Chiefs become just the fi fth 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 fi ve-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 CB 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.

CHIEFS VS. THE NFC

GONZALEZ SEEKS THE NFL’S TE TRIPLE CROWN

CHIEFS QUARTERBACK NOTES

KC’s roster has undergone a tremendous transformation this off-season. The Chiefs have 27 players on the 53-man roster or a reserve list (27 of 55 - 49.1%) who originally entered the NFL as Chiefs draftees. Twenty-two of those 55 have been selected over the past three years. Incredibly, 60.4% of the players on Kansas City’s 53-man roster (32 of 53) have three years of NFL experience or less, including 15 rookies (28.3%), the most rookies on any NFL Opening Day roster. The Chiefs started six of those rookies on Opening Day, the highest tally by the club since the AFL-NFL merger. Based on research compiled by Mike Sando of ESPN.com, the Chiefs boasted the NFL’s youngest Opening Day starting lineup in the NFL at 25.18 years old. Based on Opening Day 53-man rosters provided by the NFL, the Chiefs and Packers owned the NFL’s youngest rosters at 25.57 years old. In terms of average experience, no team had a lower average experience than Kansas City at 3.45 years. Kansas City also boasted the distinction of fi elding an NFL-high 17 rookies or fi rst-year players on its Opening Day roster, a fi gure that included a league-high 15 rookies.

Chiefs nine-time Pro Bowl TE Tony Gonzalez ranks fi rst in NFL history among tight ends in receptions (838) and TD receptions (68). He needs three more yards to bypass Shannon Sharpe (10,060) to take over the all-time yardage mark. Gonzalez’s 68 total TDs with the Chiefs trail only RB Priest Holmes (83) in KC annals. Gonzalez ranks second in franchise history with 10,081 combined net yards. In addition, no tight end in NFL history owns more consecutive 60-catch campaigns (nine) than Gonzalez. Gonzalez owns 23 career 100-yard receiving games, the most in Chiefs history. Those 23 100-yard games are second in NFL history among TEs, trailing only Kellen Winslow (24). Gonzalez extended his team-record streak of games with at least one reception to 119 contests last week vs. Denver (9/28). Only Ozzie Newsome (150) has a longer streak by a TE in NFL history.

Dating back to ’95 Kansas City owns a 31-22 (.585) record against NFC opponents, a fi gure that ranks as the league’s sixth-best mark over that span. Pittsburgh owns the best record in interconference play over that timeframe at 32-17-1 (.640). Carolina has lost six of its last seven outings against AFC foes. In their most recent interconference outing, the Panthers registered a 26-24 win at San Diego (9/30/07). Carolina is 25-28 (.472) all-time in regular season interconference action, including a 5-6 mark vs. current members of the AFC West. The Panthers are 12-13 (.480) vs. AFC foes under head coach John Fox. Carolina has lost three straight home games vs. AFC foes with its last home interconference win coming by a 20-12 count vs. Cleveland (10/8/06).

The Chiefs employed three different starting QBs in the fi rst three games of 2008, a fi rst in Chiefs history. In fact, it’s just the fi fth time the Chiefs have ever started three different QBs over the course of an entire regular season. The Chiefs are just the fourth team since the AFL-NFL merger to start three different QBs in the fi rst three games of the year in a non-strike season. Herm Edwards has made four playoff appearances since 2001 (only Tony Dungy - 7 and Bill Belichick - 6 own more). Since QB Vinny Testaverde started all 16 games for Edwards and the playoff-bound N.Y. Jets in 2001, Edwards has never enjoyed another season where a single QB opened all 16 games.

Chiefs, Panthers Two of the NFL’s Best in the Turnover Column The Chiefs and Panthers are two of the NFL’s toughest teams to beat at home when they have a positive turnover ratio. KC has won 19 straight home games when positive. Overall, the Chiefs are 9-2 under Herm Edwards when positive. Meanwhile, Carolina has won 13 consecutive home games when positive. Baltimore owns the NFL’s longest active streak in that department with 37 straight home wins when positive. Carolina is 33-6 (.846) when positive under John Fox, including a 16-2 (.889) mark at Bank of America Stadium. However, the Panthers have lost 14 consecutive home games with a negative turnover mark dating back to a 24-14 loss vs. Green Bay (9/13/04). Kansas City owns the NFL’s triple crown among teams that have played every season since ’90, owning the most takeaways (601), fewest giveaways (445) and best turnover differential (+156). KC was +3 (4 takes/1 give) last week. Dating back to the ’95 campaign when the Panthers entered the NFL, Carolina holds the mark for the league’s most takeaways with 427. Since John Fox took the reigns of the Panthers in 2002, only Baltimore (197 prior to MNF) can boast more takeaways than Carolina (194).

Panthers QB Jake Delhomme hasn’t suffered a two-INT game since throwing two picks in a 27-24 loss at Philadelphia (12/4/06). KC is looking for its fi rst back-to-back multi-INT games since doing it at SD (12/17/06) and at OAK (12/23/06). Delhomme owns a 14-4 (.778) record as an NFL starter when he compiles a rating of 100.0 or better (min. 20 attempts), including a perfect 10-0 mark when his rating exceeds 110.0. He had a 124.8 rating last week vs. Atlanta (9/28).The Panthers are 13-9 (.591) when three-time Pro Bowl WR Steve Smith records a 100-yard game.

Colquitt Ranks Among the NFL’s Punting Elite In just his fourth NFL campaign, Kansas City P Dustin Colquitt already ranks second in NFL history since the AFL-NFL merger in terms of career net punting average at 38.38. Colquitt trails current Chargers P Mike Scifres by just 0.35 percent for the all-time lead. Colquitt is also one of the league’s best in terms of dropping balls inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. He currently leads the NFL with 12 punts inside the 20. Panthers P Jason Baker ranks fourth in that department with nine inside the 20. Colquitt is currently on pace to fi nish the season with 48 punts inside the 20, a fi gure that would shatter the NFL single-season record of 42 established by 49ers P Andy Lee in 2007. P Louie Aguiar set the Chiefs single-season mark for punts inside the 20 with 29 in ’95.

KC is 7-2 when Johnson registers 100 or more yards in a single half, a feat he’s accomplished in back-to-back weeks: 102 in the second half at Atlanta (9/21) and 105 in the second half vs. Denver (9/28). Johnson (415 yds.) is currently third in the NFL in rushing, trailing Atlanta RB Michael Turner (422 yds.) by seven yards. Carolina limited Turner to 56 yards last week. Johnson will be seeking three straight 100-yard outings for the fi rst time since topping the century mark four straight weeks (11/19/06 - 12/10/06). Kansas City will face a Carolina squad that has lost 19 consecutive games when it has allowed a 100-yard rusher. The Panthers last victory in such a circumstance was a 26-23 OT decision at New Orleans (10/26/03) when Saints RB Deuce McAllister had 101 yards. Under John Fox, the Panthers have allowed 81.5 rushing ypg in their 54 wins and have permitted 137.1 ypg in their 46 losses. The Panthers currently rank 19th in the NFL in rushing defense, relinquishing 114.3 yards per game. However, Carolina’s rush defense ranks fi fth in the league, allowing opponents’ to rush for four or more yards just 31.1% of the time on fi rst down.

Kansas City’s Rushing Defense vs. Carolina’s Rushing Offense Kansas City’s defense will face a Carolina offense that has won 15 consecutive games when it boasts a 100-yard rusher, the longest active streak in the NFL. The Panthers haven’t lost a contest with a 100-yard back since dropping a 25-16 decision vs. Philadelphia (11/30/03) when RB Stephen Davis had 115 yards. Carolina owns a 22-2 (.917) record under John Fox when it enjoys an individual 100-yard rusher. RBs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart are splitting the Panthers rushing duties. After permitting 204.0 rushing ypg in their fi rst three contests, the Chiefs limited Denver to 94 ground yards last week. Curtailing big plays will be a point of emphasis for the Chiefs. Kansas City permitted a league-high eight runs of 20+ yards in its fi rst three contests, but held Denver without a single rushing play of 20 yards or more last week. Carolina has averaged 129.7 rushing ypg in its 54 wins under Fox, while managing just 82.6 ypg in its 46 losses. The Panthers currently rank 20th in the NFL in rushing at 102.5 ypg. Carolina has just two 20-yard runs on the season (one apiece by Williams and Stewart). The Chiefs have lost seven straight games when permitting a 100-yard back. KC’s last victory in such a circumstance was a 13-10 victory vs. Minnesota (9/23/07) when RB Adrian Peterson had 102 yards.

Chiefs, Panthers Seek to Win the Third-Down Battle Moving the chains means converting on third down, something the Chiefs have improved on substantially in 2008. KC’s offense ranked 28th on third down a year ago, converting just 34.1% of the time (79 of 232). Under new offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, KC currently ranks 12th in that department, converting at a 40.3% (25 of 62) clip. Dallas leads the league at 57.4%. The Chiefs will face a Panthers defense that ranks sixth in the league in third-down conversions at 30.8% (16 of 52). Kansas City led the NFL in third-down defense a year ago, permitting opponents to convert at just a 31.3% clip (65 of 208). The Chiefs currently rank 28th in that department at 46.3% (25 of 54) and will face a Carolina offense that ranks 30th on third down at 25.5% (13 of 51). KC’s defense has allowed 22.5 offensive ppg, while Carolina’s defense has permitted 14.0 offensive ppg. A total of 31.0% (30 of 97) of KC’s total points allowed have been set up by Chiefs giveaways. New Starters Abound on Kansas City’s Defense KC currently has just two starters opening at the same positions as they did in the club’s usual 2007 starting lineup - Ss Bernard Pollard and Jarrad Page. DE Tamba Hali has moved to the right DE position after starting his fi rst two seasons at left DE, while LB Derrick Johnson has moved to ROLB. New starters include: DTs Glenn Dorsey (D1a-08) and Tank Tyler (D3-07), DE Turk McBride (D2-07), LBs Pat Thomas and Demorrio Williams, as well as CBs Brandon Flowers (D2-08) and Brandon Carr (D5-08).

The Chiefs entered their home opener vs. Carolina boasting a 13-game regular season home winning streak and battled to a 10-7 halftime lead. But Kansas City was outscored by a 14-0 margin in the final quarter as the Panthers claimed a 28-17 win at Arrowhead. Chiefs QB Trent Green completed six of seven passes for 72 yards on the game’s opening drive, but the Chiefs were forced to settle for a 33-yard K Lawrence Tynes field goal to take an early 3-0 lead. After both clubs traded punts, the Panthers took a 7-3 lead. On second and goal from the three, Chiefs LB Monty Beisel grabbed Panthers QB Jake Delhomme by the jersey and spun him around, only to see the QB flip a blind pass to TE Kris Mangum for an improbable TD. KC’s offense then turned to Holmes, who pounded out 24 rushing yards on a seven-play, 69-yard TD drive that culminated when the three-time Pro Bowl RB somersaulted into the end zone from one yard out to give the Chiefs a 10-7 lead with 12:34 remaining in the first half. KC had a chance to bolster that advantage, but a 47-yard Tynes FG attempt went wide right with 0:49 left in the second quarter. The third quarter was all Carolina. The Panthers owned the ball for 13:15, compared to 1:45 for the Chiefs who got just four offensive snaps in the quarter. Powered by RB DeShaun Foster, the Panthers ground out a 16-play, 80-yard TD drive that ate 8:13 off the clock. A nine-yard TD pass from Delhomme to WR Keary Colbert capped the scoring march as Carolina retook the lead at 14-10. After the Chiefs offense was forced to punt, KC’s defense provided the final points of the afternoon when CB Eric Warfield registered his second INT of the day, returning the pick for a 43-yard TD to give Kansas City a 17-14 edge entering the final quarter. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Carolina reclaimed the lead for good as Delhomme lobbed a one-yard TD pass on play action to TE Mike Seidman to make the count 21-17 in favor of the Panthers. After another KC punt, Foster put the final dagger in the Chiefs victory chances when he broke out for a 71-yard run. On the next play, he raced into the end zone from three yards out to give Carolina a 28-17 edge. Foster finished the day with 32 carries for 174 yards on the ground. The Chiefs coughed up the ball on a fumble and an INT on their next two drives, essentially nullifying a possible comeback.

GAME NOTES• CB Eric Warfield tied a career high with two INTs, tying a mark he originally set vs. Buffalo (10/26/03). Warfield returned his second INT of the game for a 43-yard TD. It was Warfield’s second career TD, the second score of his career.• Warfield’s INT return marked the 16th consecutive season that the Chiefs registered at least one defensive TD.

2008 CHIEFS GAME-BY-GAME DEFENSE

THE LAST GAME

CChiefshiefs 33, 33, BroncosBroncos 1919September 28, 2008 • Arrowhead Stadium • 74,623

With strong running from RB Larry Johnson and a defensive effort that forced four turnovers the Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 33-19 at Arrowhead Stadium. The victory ended a 12-game losing streak that stretched back to November of 2007.

The Chiefs took the opening kickoff and moved down for a 23-yard FG from K Nick Novak that ended a nine-play, 94-yard drive. The key play was a career-long 65-yard run by Johnson on the second offensive snap of the game.

The Kansas City defense took the field and forced a fumble at the end of a pass play from Cutler to WR Eddie Royal. DE Turk McBride knocked the ball out and it was recovered by Carr, who returned the fumble 17 yards to the Broncos 26-yard line. KC settled for a 21-yard Novak field goal and the Chiefs lead was 6-0.

Early in the second quarter, the Broncos took over at their own 38-yard line and Cutler moved the team on eight plays to a touchdown. The TD came on a 16-yard pass from Cutler to WR Brandon Marshall who made a leaping catch at the back of the end zone and got both feet down for the score and a 7-6 second-quarter KC lead.

The Chiefs defense got the Chiefs back on the scoreboard. The Broncos had Marshall come out of the backfield on a running play and LB Derrick Johnson came quickly in run support and ripped the ball from Marshall’s hands. The fumble was recovered by CB Brandon Flowers who returned it 37 yards and was tackled just short of the end zone. Johnson plowed in from one yard out for his 52nd career rushing TD as the Chiefs took a 13-7 lead.

Denver drove right back down the field, hitting a handful of big plays before the Chiefs defense slowed their pace, forcing a field goal try, but K Matt Prater missed a 28-yard FG wide right. Prater got a chance to redeem himself just before the half came to an end, when he nailed a 56-yard FG with 0:11 remaining to cut the Chiefs lead to 13-10 at intermission.

The Broncos took the second-half kickoff and moved 32 yards, resulting in a 51-yard Prater field goal to tie the score at 13-13 with 12:13 remaining in the period.

After a nice 35-yard kickoff return from RB Jamaal Charles, the Chiefs started at their own 37-yard line and Johnson immediately ripped off a 17-yard run on first down. That run put Johnson over 100 yards for the game, marking the 29th time he passed the century mark in his career. However, the drive stalled after one more first down and Novak came in and kicked a 43-yard FG to give the Chiefs a 16-13 lead.

Near the end of the third quarter, the Chiefs put together a 10-play, 73-yard drive that found TE Tony Gonzalez open in the end zone for a 10-yard score that extended the Chiefs led to 23-13. It was the 68th TD catch of Gonzalez’s career.

Denver answered with a 22-yard Prater FG and the Broncos trailed 23-16. The Chiefs answered right back, thanks to a 51-yard kickoff return by RB Dantrell Savage to the Denver 49-yard line. Kansas City ran off more than four minutes before a 33-yard FG by Novak that pushed the difference back to 10 points at 26-16.

Denver added another Prater FG, but the Chiefs recovered the Broncos onside kick attempt and drove down the field on the legs of Johnson. He cracked off a 34-yard run and finished it up with a 16-yard TD jaunt to secure the 33-19 victory.
