Chiefs Take the Show on the Road

 The Kansas City Chiefs went into a hostile road environment and landed knockout blows early and often against the NFC West leading Seattle Seahawks. Despite some monumental special teams gaffes early on, Matt "The Hitman" Cassel and his henchman Dwayne "I'm just Dwayne" Bowe made Chiefs fans forget (if only for a moment) their early season disasters. Cassel had (arguably) his best game as a Chief tossing 4 td's and 0 interceptions making him among the league's top qb's in this category.

The only problem is that San Diego is gaining on the Chiefs in the Western Division; and fast. The Chargers pummeled The Colts Sunday night to inch to within a games reach of the Chiefs. A loss at San Diego in three weeks time could prove fatal to Kansas City's playoff plans. Every team in the AFC Playoff picture holds a tiebreaker over the Chiefs, including San Diego should the teams wind up splitting their series. The Chiefs must hope for a Chargers upset somewhere down the stretch or must tackle the unimaginable task of winning on the road with the division on the line.

Mizzou roars to 10-2 after winning 'Border Ticklefight"

Mizzou receiver T.J. Moe started off this years "Border Showdown" week spewing hatred towards his KU counterparts. "Everytime I see a KU shirt, I want to burn it," Moe said. " I don't give them credit for anything." Moe and the Missouri Tigers backed up the claims by beating KU 35-7 inside an unseasonabaly warm Arrowhead Stadium Saturday which capped off a 10 win season for the Tigers.

It appeared Kansas waved the white flag early while coming out of the Arrowhead Stadium tunnel wearing all white. The Jayhawks pretty much went into fetal position the minute the game started and never really uttered a whimper. Missouri can now sit back and await a solid bowl game while Kansas goes back to the drawing board with first year head coach Turner Gill.

Another item of note here was the attendance for this game: 55,873 (mostly gold clad) fans. It's time to move this game back to campuses if KU is not going to be competitive in football. Basketball magnet schools like Kansas should not be showcased in big game situations with legit football programs.
