Can the Kansas City Chiefs Make History?
In Dustin Colquitt and Cairo Santos, Kansas City has one of the best punter-kicker combinations in the NFL.
Who do you think will win this week’s game and what are your final score predictions?
The Chiefs defense isn’t far behind, especially of late, as they’ve held opponents to 18 points or less for six straight weeks.
“It’s tough to drive the length of the field each and every series”, head coach Andy Reid said. “But… there are times trying to understand your players, understand fully what they can do and things like that”. It only SEEMS like it has been that long.
The Chiefs are 8-3 SU and ATS in their last 11 games at home.
The Bills made several costly mistakes against the Patriots but played well overall after playing extremely well in their previous two games – a 22-17 victory over New York Jets and a 33-17 victory over Miami. With running back LeSean McCoy and wide receiver Sammy Watkins, they have big-play potential on offense.
The last two seasons, the Bills have lost to the Chiefs in heartbreaking fashion, and it directly contributed to them missing the postseason. With the Steelers in line to grab the top AFC Wild Card spot, a Chiefs loss would make their path to the playoffs much more hard. The Chiefs outgained the Chargers 385-201, outrushed them 153-52 and won time of possession by over seven minutes-and that’s how you win games and cover spreads in the NFL. However, if your arm is in that much pain that you have to hold on to your shoulder pads to alleviate the discomfort then you are much more likely to fumble or throw an interception because you can not be 100% focused on reading the defense. Tamba Hali and Justin Houston have led the strong pass rush, with Derrick Johnson and Dontari Poe regaining their 2013 form.
TALENTED TIGHT ENDS: The Chiefs’ Travis Kelce has 50 receptions this season, third among AFC tight ends.
Although the Chiefs may have gotten off to a slow start, they have a legitimate shot at making it to the playoffs this season.
This season? Yes, as the Chiefs play host to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday looking to add to their four-game streak. On their current four-game winning streak Kansas City has outscored their opponents in the first half by a count of 64-9. Buffalo has spent millions of dollars and lots of high draft picks to create a devastating defensive line – on paper, at least. Throw in knee trouble for defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and the Bills almost had to use offensive lineman Richie Incognito on defense last week.
If the season were to end today the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals would get a bye week in the playoffs.
“The season is going great”, said Mauga, a second-year linebacker for the Chiefs.
Both sides would be even better if weren’t for various costly injuries. The Broncos have a 4-2 record in the conference. The Chiefs are relatively healthy and are rolling. Facing a Chiefs offense that’s 30th in sacks allowed could prove to be a very favorable matchup with or without Mario Williams.
