After the first two weeks in this NFL season I thought it was going to be another long year as a Chief fan but they showed a bright spot today in their overtime win over the Saints today. Actually being allowed to wear a Chief sweatshirt on a Monday is a nice feeling.
Even though it wasn’t pretty, a win is a win. After the first two weeks I would have been surprised to see the Chiefs beat any one let alone the Saints. Even though the Saints were 0 and 2 coming into the game today just like the Chiefs the Saints are supposed to be a better football team. So it is nice to see the Chiefs pull this one out.
I will be the first to admit it wasn’t a dominating performance by the Chiefs but they got the W so I won’t complain. But the Chiefs did sacrifice a star player. Dexter McCluster, their slot player, suffered what looked like a very serious elbow injury which is too bad because the Chiefs season was cut short last year due to injuries.
But Jamaal Charles stepped up today. Rushing for over 220 yards he had the team on his back the whole game. In fact I think his 91 yard run changed the whole game and put the Chiefs in the driver’s seat. Cassel didn’t do well but he also didn’t make mistakes which allowed the Chiefs to come out on top.
Still 1 and 2 isn’t a good record it is a lot better than 0 and 3. If the Chiefs can keep this going they should be a team to look out for in the later part of the season.
