Week 11 Preview: Chargers at Chiefs
“We know where we are, and we know where we’ve been”, Houston said. Chiefs coach Andy Reid has stressed the importance of defensive coordinator this week with San Diego typically featuring a wide variety of formations and alignments. I mean, watching the way we played there you would never think that. ILB Manti Te’o returned to the lineup missing four games with an ankle injury….
The Chiefs allowed almost 400 yards per game through their first four games, creating just three turnovers in the process.
“Imagine if we break that record and then I turn around and everybody’s walking to the sideline”. With just 11 seconds left in the quarter, it appeared Alex Smith found Kelce in the end zone for a 12-yard score, however the play was reversed and deemed incomplete. Poe jumped over the pile from the 1-yard line for a touchdown and are you ready for the second coming of William “The Fridge” Perry? Poe pounded in for his first career rushing TD, making him the heaviest man in National Football League history to score a touchdown. Those were the days, my friends, and after this terrible Chargers season, on and off the field, we embrace the greatness of one LaDainian Tramayne Tomlinson.
A lot of the talk surrounding the Broncos over recent weeks has been the massive slide in form of Peyton Manning.
With the way the Chiefs have been playing defensively, it’s hard to bet against them. Chiefs fans saw last week how a team can prosper and benefit from a week off. In a pretty even match up having 2 weeks to prepare for an opponent can be very beneficial.
This is the eighth loss of the season for a team that’s won 20 games combined in the last two.
For the first time all season it looked like the Chargers were simply uninspired. Against Denver, Chiefs had five interceptions by five players, and five sacks…. The series is tied at 54-54-1.
If there was any doubt that the San Diego Chargers were a bad football team, and that Mike McCoy needs to be fired, it was erased by the performance at Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chargers have only bad memories of their last game against the Chiefs. The teams faced off once in the postseason, with the Chargers taking a 17-0 home victory in the 1992 AFC playoffs.
The rest of the schedule includes a return game against lowly San Diego, two against struggling Oakland, and games against down-and-out Cleveland and the Joe Flacco-less Baltimore Ravens.
It’s been a weird season for the Kansas City Chiefs.
After being drafted out of Texas Christian University in 2001, Tomlinson ran for 12,490 yards in nine seasons in San Diego, scoring 138 touchdowns on the ground and 15 more on pass receptions.
Rivers said Sunday’s face-plant “is about as tough as it gets and not like it hasn’t been tough the last five”. The game is also airing as a live stream online.
On offense, the Chiefs must continue to stay balanced. Smith just doesn’t turn the ball over, and while that frustrates fans because it also leads to missed opportunities, it still has its advantages.
The Chiefs’ passing attack is from the West Coast philosophy. He has thrown for more yards (3,033) than all but one passer. New England’s Tom Brady has 10 more yards.
