THE MATCH-UP The Chiefs and Titans will renew the AFL’s initial rivalry on Sunday at Arrowhead. The Chiefs are mired in a six-game losing rut and return home after a 41-7 loss at Denver (12/9), the club’s only division road loss of the year. Kansas City has won its final home game of the year in 10 consecutive seasons and is seeking to extend that streak to 11 straight victories this week. The Chiefs are looking to secure their first home win since registering a 27-20 decision vs. Cincinnati (10/14). Tennessee is still in the thick of the AFC Wild Card chase and owns a 7-6 record after a tough 23-17 OT loss vs. San Diego (12/9). Titans head coach Jeff Fisher will be seeking his 100th regular season win on Sunday. Owning origins as the American Football League’s first two teams, both clubs have rich histories dating back to their days as the in-state rival Dallas Texans and Houston Oilers. It is fitting that as the Chiefs mark the one-year anniversary of Lamar Hunt’s passing on December 13th, his team will be facing the franchise founded by his longtime friend, Bud Adams. While the Chiefs are still mourning the loss of their Founder, Sunday’s game will also serve as an early celebration of the 45th anniversary of the ’62 AFL Championship Game played on December 23, 1962, a double-OT thriller that resulted in the first of three AFL titles for Hunt’s Texans/Chiefs. This week’s contest will also mark the 700th regular or postseason game the Chiefs have played since relocating to Kansas City in ’63. Sunday’s game will be the first visit to Kansas City by Adams’ franchise in their current incarnation as the Tennessee Titans. The club’s last visit to Kansas City came as the Oilers in ’95. This week’s Chiefs-Titans clash comes exactly 17 years to the day of Tennessee’s last victory at Arrowhead. That 27-10 win by the Oilers came on December 16, 1990 when Hall of Fame QB Warren Moon threw for 527 yards against the Chiefs, the second-highest single-game passing total in NFL history. Tennessee’s current 17-year victory drought at Arrowhead is surpassed by only two other AFC squads. Miami hasn’t won at Arrowhead since ’81, while Cleveland last departed Kansas City victorious in ’88. KC concludes the regular season with a two-game road trip beginning with a contest at Detroit (12/23), followed by a game at the N.Y. Jets (12/30), while Tennessee has a home date next week with the Jets (12/23). THE SERIES The Chiefs own a 27-18 (.600) edge in the 45 regular and postseason games played between these two original AFL franchises, including a 2-0 mark in postseason competition. Kansas City’s 27 wins against Tennessee are the club’s most against any non-division AFC team. The Chiefs won the most recent contest in this series, a 49-38 victory on Monday Night Football at Tennessee (12/13/04). RB Larry Johnson enjoyed a breakout performance in that game, registering his second career 100-yard game and becoming the first player in KC history to post a pair of 40-yard TD runs in one game. The Titans last victory over KC was a 17-14 OT decision (9/10/00) in the first meeting between the squads in Nashville. That game snapped a four- game victory streak the Chiefs had established against the Oilers dating back to a win in the ’93 AFC Divisional Playoffs. Dating back to that playoff triumph, the Chiefs have won five out of the last six meaningful contests in this series, including a 20-19 win in the final Chiefs-Oilers outing played at the Astrodome (9/1/96) on Opening Day of the ’96 campaign. Kansas City broke a string of four straight losses against Houston with a thrilling 24-19 win in a ’93 AFC Divisional Playoff tilt, the final NFL postseason contest ever staged at the Astrodome (1/16/94). The red-hot Oilers had won 11 straight regular season games to close the ’94 regular season behind QB Warren Moon, but the Chiefs rallied for 21 fourth-quarter points thanks to QB Joe Montana, RB Marcus Allen and a stifling defense that sacked Moon 9.0 times in KC’s most recent playoff victory. But by far the most dramatic clash between these two clubs came in the ’62 AFL Championship Game when the Dallas Texans prevailed 20-17 in a double-OT thriller over the Houston Oilers at Jeppesen Stadium in Houston (12/23/62). At 77 minutes and 54 seconds, that contest still ranks as the second-longest game in NFL history. REGULAR SEASON GAME #14 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (4-9) VS.

THE MATCH-UP The Chiefs and Titans will renew the AFL’s initial rivalry on Sunday at

Arrowhead. The Chiefs are mired in a six-game losing rut and return home after a 41-7 loss at Denver (12/9), the club’s only division road loss of the year. Kansas City has won its final home game of the year in 10 consecutive seasons and is seeking to extend that streak to 11 straight victories this week. The Chiefs are looking to secure their first home win since registering a 27-20 decision vs. Cincinnati (10/14).

Tennessee is still in the thick of the AFC Wild Card chase and owns a 7-6 record after a tough 23-17 OT loss vs. San Diego (12/9). Titans head coach Jeff Fisher will be seeking his 100th regular season win on Sunday.

Owning origins as the American Football League’s first two teams, both clubs have rich histories dating back to their days as the in-state rival Dallas Texans and Houston Oilers. It is fitting that as the Chiefs mark the one-year anniversary of Lamar Hunt’s passing on December 13th, his team will be facing the franchise founded by his longtime friend, Bud Adams.

While the Chiefs are still mourning the loss of their Founder, Sunday’s game will also serve as an early celebration of the 45th anniversary of the ’62 AFL Championship Game played on December 23, 1962, a double-OT thriller that resulted in the first of three AFL titles for Hunt’s Texans/Chiefs. This week’s contest will also mark the 700th regular or postseason game the Chiefs have played since relocating to Kansas City in ’63. Sunday’s game will be the first visit to Kansas City by Adams’ franchise in their current incarnation as the Tennessee Titans. The club’s last visit to Kansas City came as the Oilers in ’95. This week’s Chiefs-Titans clash comes exactly 17 years to the day of Tennessee’s last victory at Arrowhead. That 27-10 win by the Oilers came on December 16, 1990 when Hall of Fame QB Warren Moon threw for 527 yards against the Chiefs, the second-highest single-game passing total in NFL history. Tennessee’s current 17-year victory drought at Arrowhead is surpassed by only two other AFC squads. Miami hasn’t won at Arrowhead since ’81, while Cleveland last departed Kansas City victorious in ’88.

KC concludes the regular season with a two-game road trip beginning with a contest at Detroit (12/23), followed by a game at the N.Y. Jets (12/30), while Tennessee has a home date next week with the Jets (12/23).

THE SERIES

The Chiefs own a 27-18 (.600) edge in the 45 regular and postseason games played between these two original AFL franchises, including a 2-0 mark in postseason competition. Kansas City’s 27 wins against Tennessee are the club’s most against any non-division AFC team. The Chiefs won the most recent contest in this series, a 49-38 victory on Monday Night Football at Tennessee (12/13/04). RB Larry Johnson enjoyed a breakout performance in that game, registering his second career 100-yard game and becoming the first player in KC history to post a pair of 40-yard TD runs in one game.

The Titans last victory over KC was a 17-14 OT decision (9/10/00) in the first meeting between the squads in Nashville. That game snapped a four-game victory streak the Chiefs had established against the Oilers dating back to a win in the ’93 AFC Divisional Playoffs. Dating back to that playoff triumph, the Chiefs have won five out of the last six meaningful contests in this series, including a 20-19 win in the final Chiefs-Oilers outing played at the Astrodome (9/1/96) on Opening Day of the ’96 campaign.

Kansas City broke a string of four straight losses against Houston with a

thrilling 24-19 win in a ’93 AFC Divisional Playoff tilt, the final NFL postseason contest ever staged at the Astrodome (1/16/94). The red-hot Oilers had won 11 straight regular season games to close the ’94 regular season behind QB Warren Moon, but the Chiefs rallied for 21 fourth-quarter points thanks to QB Joe Montana, RB Marcus Allen and a stifling defense that sacked Moon 9.0 times in KC’s most recent playoff victory.

But by far the most dramatic clash between these two clubs came in the ’62 AFL Championship Game when the Dallas Texans prevailed 20-17 in a double-OT thriller over the Houston Oilers at Jeppesen Stadium in Houston (12/23/62). At 77 minutes and 54 seconds, that contest still ranks as the second-longest game in NFL history.

REMEMBERING THE ’62 AFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Sunday’s contest between the Chiefs and Titans will be played exactly

one week shy of the 45th anniversary of the ’62 AFL Championship Game between the AFL’s two original franchises – Lamar Hunt’s Dallas Texans and Bud Adams’ Houston Oilers. That thrilling, double-overtime title tilt at Houston’s Jeppesen Stadium helped propel the young league into the national sporting landscape as the Texans claimed victory on a 25-yard FG by K Tommy Brooker at the 2:54 mark of the second overtime session.

At 77:54, this epic contest remains the second-longest in pro football history, but is best remembered for the infamous decision of Texans RB Abner Haynes to “kick to the clock” at the start of the first overtime session. Dallas won the toss, but elected to kick off. However, Haynes inadvertently elected for his team to kick into the wind instead of having it as a consolation for not receiving the football.

Hunt’s team would move to KC and become known as the Chiefs in ’63. When Adams’ Tennessee squad won the ’99 AFC Championship Game to advance to that franchise’s first-ever Super Bowl, it was Hunt who was on hand to present his longtime friend with the Lamar Hunt Trophy.

(Above) Hunt and Adams were the AFL’s two original owners. (Right) Hunt and head coach Hank Stram combined to lead the Texans/Chiefs to three American Football League titles (’62, ’66, ’69).

REMEMBERING OUR FOUNDER The National Football League and the American sports community lost a

true treasure on December 13, 2006 when Chiefs Founder Lamar Hunt passed away. Hunt served as the guiding force behind the formation of both the American Football League and the Kansas City Chiefs franchise. Few individuals helped change the face of America’s favorite game for the better than this quiet Texan. Hunt played a key role in the AFL-NFL merger talks in the ‘60s and actually coined the term “Super Bowl.”

As part of a year-long tribute to Hunt in 2007, the Chiefs will wear a commemorative patch that prominently features the American Football League logo to serve as a reminder of Hunt’s formation of the AFL and the lasting impact that league has made on the game of professional football. True to Hunt’s humble styles, the letters “LH” are subtly displayed on the

football of the AFL logo, symbolizing the fact that the Chiefs Founder always put the best interests of the league ahead of his own. The patch will be affixed to the left chest of both KC’s jerseys, meaning this piece of woven symbolism will be worn over the heart of every Chiefs player.

TE TONY GONZALEZ’S RECORD-SETTING CAREER Eight-time Pro Bowl TE Tony Gonzalez owns 66 career TD catches, the most by a tight end in NFL history. Gonzalez ranks second in NFL history among tight ends in receptions (800) and receiving yardage (9,664), trailing only Shannon Sharpe (815-10,060). Gonzalez joins Sharpe as just the second TE in NFL history with 800 or more career receptions. Gonzalez owns 22 career 100-yard receiving games, the most in KC history. That marks ties Jackie Smith as the second-highest total in NFL annals by a TE, trailing only Kellen Winslow (24). Gonzalez has a reception in 111 consecutive contests, meaning only Ozzie Newsome (150) has a longer streak by a TE. Gonzalez is the first TE in NFL history to record 900 receiving yards five straight years. Gonzalez has faced the Titans just two times, recording nine catches for 92 yards. Gonzalez has registered nine straight 60-catches seasons and five consecutive 70-catch campaigns, the longest streaks by a TE in NFL history. Gonzalez needs just 16 more catches and 537 more receiving yards to bypass Sharpe for the most receptions and yards by a TE in NFL history.

JEFF FISHER NFL Head Coach: 10th Full Year NFL Coach Overall: 19th Year NFL Overall: 104-80 (.565) Regular Season: 99-76 (.568) Postseason: 5-4 (.556) Record w/TEN: 99-76 (.568) NFL Playing Exp: 5 Yrs. (’81-85) AFC West Exp: None College: Southern Cal (’81)

Jeff Fisher was named the 15th head coach in Titans history on January 5, 1995 after serving on an interim basis for six games in ’94 after originally joining the club as defensive coordinator. He holds the franchise record with 99 regular season wins and he has led the Titans to four playoff appearances. He guided Tennessee to 13-3 regular season records in ’99 and 2000, including a berth in Super Bowl XXXIV. Fisher also led the Titans to a berth in the 2002 AFC title game.

Born in Culver City, California on February 25, 1958, Fisher began his NFL coaching career as defensive backs coach under head coach Buddy Ryan for Philadelphia from ’86-87. He served as Eagles defensive coordinator from ’88-90 and held the same post for the L.A. Rams in ’91. He spent two years (’92-93) coaching DBs for San Francisco before joining the Titans in ’94.

A seventh-round draft choice of Chicago in ’81, Fisher spent five seasons (’81-85) as a defensive back/kick returner for the Bears, finishing his playing career with five INTs and 120 punt returns for 1,125 yards and one TD. He played four seasons (’77-80) at Southern California playing under John Robinson and was a member of USC’s ’78 National Championship squad.

HERM EDWARDS NFL Head Coach: 7th Year NFL Coach Overall: 15th Year NFL Overall: 54-61 (.470) Regular Season: 52-57 (.477) Postseason: 2-4 (.333) Record w/KC: 13-16 (.448) Record w/NYJ: 39-41 (.488) Overall NFL Exp: 28th year College: San Diego State (’77)

Herm Edwards was named the 10th head coach in Kansas City history on January 9, 2006. The first coach in franchise history to guide the Chiefs to the playoffs in his initial season, he helped the 2006 Chiefs become just the fifth 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 five-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 DB 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.

QB. The third overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, Young was named AP Offensive Rookie of the Year last season. RB LenDale White (D2-06) is also in his second NFL season and leads Tennessee with 867 rushing yards. WRs Roydell Williams (D4c-05), Justin Gage and TE Bo Scaife (D6-05) comprise the Titans young receiving corps, while former Bills WR Eric Moulds adds veteran stability to the offense.

THE CHIEFS ARE BUILDING THROUGH THE DRAFT The Chiefs currently start 12 players (including specialists) who originally

entered the NFL as Kansas City draft choices. Here’s a look at KC draftees who are currently starting for the club: LB Donnie Edwards (D4-96), TE Tony Gonzalez (D1-97), TE Kris Wilson (D2b-04), DE Jared Allen (D4b-04), LB Derrick Johnson (D1-05), P Dustin Colquitt (D3-05), DE Tamba Hali (D1-06), S Bernard Pollard (D2-06), QB Brodie Croyle (D3-06), S Jarrad Page (D7-06), WR Dwayne Bowe (D1-07) and RB Kolby Smith (D5a-07).

EDWARDS MAKES HIS 150TH CONSECUTIVE START LB Donnie Edwards owns 28 career INTs, the most of any active LB.

Edwards has six career TDs (four INT returns, two fumble returns). In addition, Edwards’ 1,607 career tackles also rank fifth among active players. He owns 841 tackles with KC, the fourth-highest total in franchise history. Dating back to ’96, no NFL active NFL LB owns more takes (39). Last week, Edwards started his 150th consecutive games, the sixth-longest active streak in the league

THOMAS & THOMAS ARE HALL OF FAME WORTHY The late LB Derrick Thomas (’89-99) is a semi-finalist for the Pro Football

Hall of Fame’s Class of 2008. Thomas owns Chiefs career records for sacks (126.5), forced fumbles (45) and fumble recoveries (19).

The Running Game Will Be Key For Both the Chiefs, Titans in This Arrowhead Finale by Pete Moris

Arrowhead is Typically a Tough Venue in December The Chiefs own an NFL-best 21-3 (.875) regular season December home

record dating back to ’95. The Chiefs have won their final home game in 10 straight seasons and are 15-1 in their last 16 home finales.

No matter the month, Arrowhead is always a tough place for opponents to play. Since the start of the ’90 campaign, only Denver (105-38, .734) has a better regular season record than the 104-39 (.727) mark the Chiefs have compiled at Arrowhead. While Kansas City did drop its most recent home contest vs. San Diego (12/2), the Chiefs haven’t lost back-to-back December home games since ’82. The Titans franchise claimed its last victory at Arrowhead with a 27-10 win by the Oilers (12/16/90), one of just four home December losses the Chiefs have suffered since ’90.

Tennessee has suffered losses in three of its last four road games, but owns a very respectable 7-4 road record in its last 11 contests away from Nashville. The Titans have lost five straight road games against AFC West foes with their last victory against one of Kansas City’s divisional foes coming by a 13-10 count at Oakland (12/22/01). Since Jeff Fisher took over the franchise’s head coaching duties in November of ’94, the Titans are 14-12 (.538) in December road games. Since the start of the ’95 campaign, Fisher’s squads rank sixth in the league with a 33-24 (.579) record in all regular season games played on or after December 1st.

BEST DECEMBER HOME RECORDS, 1995-PRESENT Team Record Pct. Winning Streaks of Note

1. Kansas City 21-3 (.875) Won 18 straight from ’97-05. 2. Green Bay 23-4 (.852) Won 11 straight from 2000-05. 3. Denver 20-4 (.833) Won 12 straight from ’99-05. 4. New England 18-5 (.783) Have won 10 straight. 5. Indianapolis 20-6 (.769) Have won seven of last eight.

Notable Victory Droughts at Arrowhead It’s been 17 years since the Titans franchise registered a victory at

Arrowhead. In fact, the team was still located in Houston and known as the Oilers. However, six other squads own longer current stretches since their last win at Arrowhead. In addition, four franchises – Arizona, Atlanta, Dallas and Washington – have never won a regular season contest at Arrowhead. Dating back to ’95, the Titans own the NFL’s fifth-best road record with a 53-49 (.520) mark. Here is a look at the teams with at least one victory at Arrowhead that have gone the most seasons since their last win on KC’s home field.

Arrowhead Is An Inhospitable Locale for Opposing QBs Kansas City has won 21 of its last 24 games against QBs in their first or

second year as NFL starters who are making their initial appearance as a starter at Arrowhead. Titans QB Vince Young (D1-06) is scheduled to make his inaugural start at Arrowhead on Sunday. The Chiefs are 30-4 (.882) at Arrowhead dating back to ’95 when the club forces two or more INTs. The Titans own a 3-6 (.333) record in games when Young is picked off two or more times, including last week’s 23-17 OT loss vs. San Diego (12/9).

The Titans are 1-7 dating back to last season when allowing an opposing QB to compile a 100.0-rating game. Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle (D3-06) is still looking for his first NFL win and his first triple-digit rating game.

Turnovers Are Always Critical For Kansas City The Chiefs are 45-4 (.918) at Arrowhead with a positive takeaway margin

dating back to ’95. KC has won 18 consecutive games when positive at home dating back to 2002, the fourth-longest active streak in the league. KC is 8-2 under head coach Herm Edwards when positive. The Chiefs also own an 8-3 record under Edwards when committing one turnover or less. The Chiefs have posted a +4 turnover mark (10 takes/6 gives) in their four wins in 2007, but are -12 (11 takes/23 gives) in their nine losses.

The Titans are 21-6 (.778) with a positive turnover differential on the road since 2000, including five straight wins. The Titans are just 5-23 (.179) on the road when negative over the same timeframe. Overall, the Titans are 4-11 with a negative turnover mark since 2006. Only BAL (35), HOU (33), SF (32) and ARZ (32) have committed more giveaways than TEN (30) in 2007.

Chiefs, Titans Are Both at Their Best When They Run Well The Chiefs and Titans are both at their best when they can run the ball

effectively. In Kansas City’s four wins, the club has averaged 31.3 rushing attempts for 105.8 yards. In the Chiefs nine losses, KC has averaged just 22.3 carries for 68.9 yards. Staying balanced offensively is always important for the Chiefs. In those four wins, the club has run 48.1% of the time and has dropped back to pass on 51.9% of its plays. In those nine losses, KC has run just 36.9% of the time and has attempted to pass 63.1% of the time.

The Titans currently rank ninth in the league in rushing, averaging 133.5 ypg. Only Pittsburgh (33.6) has averaged more rushing attempts per game than Tennessee (33.2) this season. The Titans have averaged 37.4 carries and 158.9 rushing ypg in their seven wins, while registering 28.3 carries for 104.0 yards in their six losses. Tennessee is particularly effective running the ball on the road. Since the start of the 2006 campaign, no NFL team can top the Titans road rushing average of 149.9 ypg.

Kansas City Leads NFL in Red Zone, Goal-to-Go Defense Kansas City’s defense is the league’s best when it comes to playing in the

scoring zone. The Chiefs boast the NFL’s top Red Zone defense, allowing just 13 TDs on 33 opponent trips inside the Chiefs 20-yard line, good for a 39.4 Red Zone TD percentage. On average, NFL teams are allowing TDs at a 52.1% clip inside the Red Zone this season. Tennessee’s offense is 31st in the league in Red Zone offense, scoring 17 TDs on 46 Red Zone trips (37.0 TD percentage).

The Chiefs also lead the league in goal-to-go defense, allowing opponents to score six TDs in 13 goal-to-go situations for a 46.2% goal-to-go TD percentage. In fact, the Chiefs are the only team that has relinquished fewer than 10 goal-to-go TDs this season. On average, NFL defenses have allowed TDs on 67.2% of their goal-to-go situations this season.

The Titans are tied for 23rd in the league in goal-to-go offense, scoring TDs on 61.5% (16 of 26) their goal-to-go possessions. KC’s offense is tied for fourth in the NFL with a 75.0% goal-to-go TD percentage (six TDs on eight goal-to-go drives). Unfortunately, the Chiefs are tied with Atlanta (8) for the fewest goal-to-go trips in the NFL and only the Falcons (3) have scored fewer goal-to-go TDs.

NFL LEADERS, TD PERCENTAGE ALLOWED RED ZONE DEFENSE GOAL-TO-GO DEFENSE Team TDs/Pos. (%) Team TDs/Pos. (%) 1. Kansas City 13/33 (39.4%) 1. Kansas City 6/13 (46.2%) 2. Philadelphia 18/44 (40.9%) 2. Philadelphia 12/24 (50.0%) 3. Baltimore 18/42 (12.9%) 3. BAL, CHI, JAX tied at 57.1%

Expect a Defensive Duel at Arrowhead between the Chiefs, Titans The Chiefs and Titans are two of the NFL’s top scoring defenses. Both

clubs have allowed opposing offenses to score exactly 243 points in 2007, an average of 18.7 offensive ppg (excluding return scores). The Chiefs have given up just 24 offensive TDs, meaning only Pittsburgh (18), Indianapolis (21), Tampa Bay (22) and Minnesota (22) have allowed fewer. Tennessee has permitted 28 offensive TDs in 2007. In terms of overall TD percentage allowed, Tennessee is eighth in that category, permitting TDs on 18.3% (28 of 153) of their defensive possessions. The Titans also rank sixth in total defense, relinquishing 297.6 yards of total offense per game.

The Chiefs are tough to beat at Arrowhead when holding the score down. Kansas City has held nine of its 13 foes to 20 points or less in 2007. The Chiefs own a 55-10 (.846) record at Arrowhead dating back to ’95 when holding foes to 21 points or less. Tennessee has been held to 20 points or less in all six of its losses in 2007. Dating back to 2005, the Titans are just 1-13 (.071) on the road when they are held to 20 points or less. That lone win was a 13-10 decision at Jacksonville (9/9) on Opening Day.

However, the Titans are also tough to beat when they keep opponents out of the end zone. Tennessee has allowed 20 points or less in six of its seven victories this season. The Titans have won 10 out of their last 11 contests when holding their foes to 20 points or less dating back to 2006.

Chiefs, Titans Have Both Been Involved in a Number of Close Calls The Chiefs have actually been tied or ahead at halftime in five contests

during their six-game losing streak. However, KC has struggled to score points in the second half. Only ATL (19) and NYJ (33) have scored fewer points in the third quarter than KC (36). The Chiefs have also been held scoreless in the fourth quarter of their last five contests. Dating back to last season, Tennessee has been involved in 18 games decided by seven points or less. The Titans own an 11-7 (.611) record in those contests, including a 5-3 mark in 2007.

Final Chiefs, Titans Stats to Consider Tennessee ranks fifth in the league in time of possession (31:33). KC has

held the edge in time of possession in their four wins, holding the ball for an average of 32:11 in those contests. The Chiefs have forced 92 negative plays to rank second in the NFL. KC forced 97 negative plays in all of 2006.

LAST GAMEBroncosBroncos 41, 41, CChiefs hiefs 77

December 9, 2007 • INVESCO Field at Mile High • 75,895

The Chiefs haven’t had many pleasant memories of INVESCO Field at Mile High and their latest trip did nothing to change that. Kansas City struggled on both sides of the ball en route to a disastrous 41-7 loss. The contest marked the largest margin of victory by Denver in the 48-year history of the Chiefs-Broncos series. The lopsided affair began from the game’s very first possession. Denver took the opening kickoff and marched 77 yards in just four plays, scoring on a 21-yard pass from QB Jay Cutler to WR Brandon Stokley. Rookie RB Selvin Young gashed Kansas City for a 50-yard dash on the drive to set up the 7-0 lead. Things only got worse as the Broncos scored another touchdown minutes later. After the Chiefs went three-and-out, Denver went 84 yards on seven plays on its way to a one-yard touchdown run by RB Travis Henry. Cutler completed passes of 28 and 22 yards on the drive as the Broncos held a 14-0 lead just 7:47 into the game. With their backs against the wall Herm Edwards’ troops would show a bit of resiliency late in the first quarter. The Chiefs defense forced back-to-back three-and-outs and the offense came alive under pressure. Kansas City converted three straight fourth downs, the third coming on a 22-yard pass from QB Brodie Croyle to WR Dwayne Bowe on fourth-and-13. From there, Croyle hit TE Tony Gonzalez in the left flat and watched the Pro Bowler slip two would-be tacklers and score a 15-yard touchdown to bring the Chiefs within 14-7 midway through the second quarter. The Chiefs used 15 plays on the drive and took 8:51 off the clock. However, that would be the last bit of hope for the Red and Gold. Whatever momentum the Chiefs had built was extinguished on the very next possession. Denver went back on the offensive attack ripping off 71 yards on seven plays, scoring on an eight-yard touchdown pass from Cutler to WR Brandon Marshall. The Broncos would tack on a 37-yard K Jason Elam field goal just before halftime to take a 24-7 lead at the break. Things would snowball in the third quarter as Denver posted 17 unanswered points on an Elam field goal and Cutler touchdown passes to TE Daniel Graham and Marshall. Denver’s 41-7 lead would hold up as the final score.

GAME NOTES• TE Tony Gonzalez registered his 800th career reception, joining TE Shannon Sharpe (815) as the only other player at that position to have 800 or more career receptions.• WR Dwayne Bowe broke the Chiefs single-season rookie records for both receptions (56) and receiving yardage (821). RB Abner Haynes (55 catches) and E Chris Burford (789 yards) set the previous Chiefs rookie receiving marks during the franchise’s inaugural season in ’60.

LAST TIMEChiefs 49, Titans 38Chiefs 49, Titans 38

December 13, 2004 • The Coliseum • 68,932

For the second straight week the Chiefs got a fourth-

quarter rally from QB Trent Green and a 100-yard rushing

performance from RB Larry Johnson as KC rallied for a

wild 49-38 win on Monday Night Football. Defensively, the

Chiefs kept it close by recovering four Titans fumbles on

the evening. Trailing 14-0 in the second quarter, Green got

KC’s first big play of the evening on a 58-yard TD to a wide

open WR Eddie Kennison to make the count 14-7. Both

clubs posted TDs inside the two-minute warning as the

Titans took a 21-14 lead into intermission.

RB Derrick Blaylock got a one-yard TD run to tie the

count at 21-21 on the opening drive of the second half, but

the Titans countered with a seven-yard TD pass from QB

Billy Volek to WR Drew Bennett, who finished the game

with 233 receiving yards, the second-highest total ever

amassed by an individual receiver against the Chiefs.

Despite three TDs from Bennett, KC found its own big-play

weapon in Johnson, who retaliated with a 46-yard TD run

– KC’s longest scoring jaunt since ’99 – to tie the count at

28-28, setting the stage for a furious fourth quarter that

featured a combined 31 points by the two teams.

A 41-yard TD run by Johnson – who finished the game

with 104 yards on just seven carries – gave KC a brief 35-

28 lead. Volek answered with a four-yard TD to WR Derrick

Mason to knot the count at 35-35 with 2:26 remaining.

Despite a Chiefs fumble two plays later, KC’s defense

limited the Titans to a 27-yard K Gary Anderson FG to give

Tennessee a slim 38-35 edge with 1:39 left.

Green took it from there, orchestrating a masterful

seven-play, 64-yard TD drive that was capped with a

nine-yard scoring strike to Kennison with 0:32 left to

give KC a 42-38 edge. A 39-yard fumble recovery by

LB Kawika Mitchell on the game’s final snap made the

final count 49-38, marking the third-highest road scoring

total in franchise history and the club’s best road scoring

tally since ’66. The victory marked Kansas City’s third

consecutive road win on Monday Night Football.

GAME NOTES• With his 542nd career catch, TE Tony Gonzalez

moved ahead of Kellen Winslow (541) for the third-

highest reception total by a tight end in NFL history.

Gonzalez (6,593) also bypassed WR Henry Marshall

(6,545) for second in Chiefs history in terms of career

receiving yards.

• RB Larry Johnson scored on runs of 46 and 41 yards,

becoming the first player in KC history to produce two TD

runs of 40 or more yards in a single game.

• With his eighth rushing TD of the season RB Derrick

Blaylock joined RB Priest Holmes (14 rushing TDs) as the

first tandem of players in franchise history to each have

eight or more rushing scores in the same season.
