1 PRESEASON GAME #3 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (0-2) VS. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (1-1) SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, :30 PM (CENTRAL) ARROWHEAD STADIUM KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI TV: KCTV-5 (CBS in Kansas City) Gary Bender, Jayice Pearson and Rich Baldinger. RADIO: KCFX-FM (101.1) Mitch Holthus, Len Dawson, Bill Grigsby and Bob Gretz. THE MATCH-UP Kansas City is seeking its first-ever preseason victory vs. the Seahawks. After dropping preseason contests at Seattle in 2002 and 2003, the Chiefs will host its former AFC West rival for the first time in preseason play at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday. KC is still seeking its first preseason win after suffering a loss vs. Arizona (8/20). The Seahawks are 1-1 after an loss on Monday Night Football vs. Dallas (8/22). The Chiefs are seeking to regain their 2003 form when the club won the AFC West with a 13-3 record. Seattle won the NFC West with a 9-7 record in 2004 and is looking to claim consecutive division crowns for the first time in franchise history. Saturday s contest features two of the NFL s most productive running backs in recent years Kansas City s Priest Holmes and Seattle s Shaun Alexander. Over the past four seasons, no NFL back has averaged more yards from scrimmage per game than Holmes (141.6). In terms total rushing yards over that four-year span, only San Diego s LaDainian Tomlinson (5,899) and Green Bay s Ahman Green (5,673) have racked up more yards on the ground than Alexander (5,624), while Holmes ranks fifth in that department (5,482). However, no player in NFL history can match Holmes scoring spree over the past three seasons. Dating back to the start of the 2002 campaign, Holmes has registered 62 rushing TDs and 66 total TDs, totals that are both records over any three-year span in NFL history. This contest will provide one more opportunity for each squad to evaluate young players before the league s first cutdown date on Tuesday, August 30th when teams must trim their rosters to 65 players. However, the Chiefs hold 10 roster exemptions for NFL Europe League players, meaning that Kansas City s roster will only be reduced to 75 players on August 26th. Those 10 NFLEL players are exempt from being cut until the NFL s final roster reduction to 53 players on Saturday, September 3rd. KC concludes its 2005 preseason slate at St. Louis (9/2), while Seattle hosts Minnesota the same evening FINAL STATS AND NFL RANKINGS CHIEFS SEAHAWKS Total Offense (1) (8) Rush Offense (5) (8) Pass Offense (4) (13) Total Defense (31) (26) Rush Defense (12) (23) Pass Defense (32) (23) Turnover Ratio (22) +8 (9) Pts./Game (2) 23.2 (12) Opp. Pts./Game (29) 23.3 (22) THE SERIES Seattle holds a 2-0 advantage in the brief preseason series between the Chiefs and Seahawks that began in Both of those contests came at Seattle with Seattle claiming a victory (8/23/03) and a win (8/24/02).

2 THE HEAD COACHES DICK VERMEIL NFL Head Coach: 15th Year NFL Coach Overall: 19th Year NFL Overall: (.518) Regular Season: (.516) Postseason: 6-5 (.545) Record w/phi: (.535) Record w/stl: (.458) Record w/kc: (.531) College: San Jose State ( 58) Dick Vermeil was named the ninth head coach in Chiefs history on January 12, 2001 following head coaching stints with Philadelphia ( 76-82) and St. Louis ( 97-99). He is one of just four coaches in NFL history to lead two different teams to the Super Bowl and has twice been named NFL Coach of the Year. The Calistoga, California native began his NFL coaching career with the L.A. Rams ( 69, 71-73) serving as the team s special teams, RBs, and QBs coach and offensive coordinator. During his tenure as head coach in Philadelphia ( 76-82), he compiled a record. In 78, Vermeil guided the Eagles to their first playoff appearance in 12 years.

VERMEIL FAST FACTS His 34 regular season wins with the Chiefs are third-highest total in team history by a head coach behind only Hank Stram (124) and Marty Schottenheimer (101). Has guided the Chiefs to a (.625) regular season record over the past two seasons. New England (28-4), Philadelphia (25-7), Indianapolis (24-8) and Pittsburgh (21-11) are the only clubs with better records over that span. Marty Schottenheimer (177), Bill Parcells (154), Bill Cowher (130), Joe Gibbs (130) and Mike Holmgren (125) are the only active NFL head coaches with more regular season wins than Vermeil (110). Vermeil and Parcells are the only two active NFL coaches who have guided two different franchises to the Super Bowl. Dan Reeves and Don Shula also accomplished that feat. Is one of five coaches in NFL history to guide three different teams to the playoffs, joining Chuck Knox, Schottenheimer, Reeves and Parcells. Those five men are also the only coaches in NFL annals to guide three different squads to 10-win seasons. Became the 27th coach in NFL history to register his 100th career regular season victory, accomplishing the feat in Was named NFL Coach of the Year in both 80 and 99. Is the only head coach to ever guide squads to victories in both the Rose Bowl and the Super Bowl. Originally entered the NFL in 69 with the L.A. Rams and was designated as the league s first special teams coach. VERMEIL VS. THE SEAHAWKS (3-3) Vermeil s teams are 3-3 vs. Seattle (1-2 w/kc, 0-1 w/stl and 2-0 w/phi).

Holmgren HOME TEAM IN ALL CAPS MIKE HOLMGREN NFL Head Coach: 14th Year NFL Coach Overall: 20th Year NFL Overall: (.596) Regular Season: (.601) Postseason: 9-8 (.529) Record w/seattle: (.521) Record w/gb: (.670) NFL Playing Experience: None College: Southern Cal ( 70) Mike Holmgren was named the sixth head coach in Seahawks history on January 8, In his first season with the club, he guided Seattle to its first AFC West title since 88. Holmgren has led the Seahawks to back-to-back postseason appearances, including an NFC West title in He joined Seattle after six years ( 92-98) as head coach of the Packers, leading GB to six playoff berths and two Super Bowl appearances, including a win over New England in SB XXXI following the 96 season. Born in San Francisco, California on June 14, 1948, Holmgren began his NFL coaching career with the 49ers as QBs coach ( 86-88) before taking over as offensive coordinator ( 89-91), earning two SB rings in the process. He entered the pro ranks after college stints at San Francisco State ( 81) and BYU ( 82-85) and a 10-year high school coaching tenure. BYU won the 84 National Championship with Holmgren coaching QBs. A quarterback at USC from 66-69, Holmgren was drafted in the eighth round of the 70 NFL Draft by St. Louis and also spent time in training camp with the Jets that year, but never made an active NFL roster. WHAT VERMEIL IS SAYING... On the team s chances this year: I believe this should be the best football team we ve had since I ve been here, especially on defense. Whether it will be or not will be dependent upon how we as coaches coach and how players respond to training camp. On the offense: I think if this offensive team was in one of the big markets it would be different. We set numerous team records. If you re in New York or Chicago that might be a big thing, but we re not really too concerned who gets the credit. We ve just got to get so we re a better football team and if the offense has to get better for us to be a better football team than they have to get better. The challenge when you re the best is to get better. There are areas of our game that can get better. On the defense: I don t think I ve ever had as much talent on defense as we have right now. We re so much further ahead defensively than we were last year at the same time. Even on the mental side of it as the physical side. It s not a new defense, it s the better understanding of it. It s the growth of the personnel that was here; it s the addition of the personnel that we brought in including the draft choice. It s impressive. We will be better. I don t know how much better, but we will be better. On QB Trent Green s longevity and productivity: That s a real testament to the offensive line. Obviously if you go through four knee operations and then come onto an NFL team and the offensive line is not really sound and really good, it s probably going to give you fits. Our offensive line happens to be a really good offensive line. That s helped. The other thing is the philosophy within the overall passing game. It s a very quick, rhythmic passing game and a guy with experience knows where he s going with the ball quicker. He doesn t hang on to it very much. So, I think it all fits together. On the Chiefs LBs: I ve never been on the field with this many talented LBs, anywhere. How long it s going to take them to play football I don t know, but they look good. Derrick Johnson has done awfully well as a rookie in picking things up. He s really done a good job. He s going to be very competitive to start early.
