4 Chiefs Seek To Reproduce Last Week s Winning Recipe Against Arizona by Pete Moris Chiefs Set to Make Debut at University of Phoenix Stadium Sunday s game will mark just the third regular season game at newlychristened University of Phoenix Stadium. Arizona posted a (.444) regular season record in 17 seasons ( 88-05) at Sun Devil Stadium. Dating back to 95, the Cardinals have posted a winning record at home just three times, going 5-3 in 96, 98 and Over the past five NFL seasons, teams qualifying for the playoffs boasted a.764 winning percentage at home in the regular season, owning a record. Kansas City would like to snap a three-game road losing streak that dates back to The Chiefs are seeking to post a winning road record for the first time since going 5-3 in 2003, the last season KC qualfied for the playoffs. Over the past five NFL seasons, teams qualifying for the playoffs have produced a road record, good for a.628 winning percentage. Over that same five-year span from , the Chiefs were just (.400) on the road, a figure that head coach Herm Edwards has frequently stressed that his squad needs to improve. A Positive Turnover Mark is Critical to Winning at Arizona Kansas City is always seeking to win the turnover battle, but that objective will be even more important this week against the Cardinals. Arizona has lost 34 consecutive games with a negative turnover differential dating back to 2001, the second-longest such streak in the league. Detroit owns the dubious distinction of owning a 51-game losing streak in contests with a negative turnover mark going back to 97. The Chiefs are seeking to snap a three-game road losing streak. Not surprisingly, KC s last road victory coincided with the last time the Chiefs produced a positive turnover differential away from home when the club went +1 in a victory at Houston (11/20/05). Kansas City registered a +3 turnover mark in its most recent contest against the Cardinals, a 49-0 win at Arrowhead (12/1/02). In a 41-0 win vs. SF (10/1), the Chiefs owned a +4 turnover differential (4 takes/0 gives), the club s best mark since going +4 margin (5 takes/1 give) in a win vs. NE (11/27/05). Although Arizona is just 2-50 (.038) in games with a negative turnover mark dating back to 2000, the Cardinals are a very solid a 23-8 (.742) record when plus in the turnover column over that same span. In fact, Arizona has won seven straight games with a positive turnover mark. The last contest Arizona lost with a positive turnover margin was a 13-3 setback vs. the N.Y. Jets (11/28/04), a team led by current KC head coach Herm Edwards. Prior to Monday Night Football, NFL road teams are 18-3 (.857) with a positive turnover ratio in 2006, but are just 6-21 (.222) with a negative turnover mark. MOST CONS. LOSSES WITH NEGATIVE TURNOVER RATIO, ACTIVE Team Streak Last Win When Minus Date 1. Detroit at Minnesota 12/14/97 2. Arizona at San Diego 11/25/01 3. Tennessee vs. Jacksonville 11/16/03 4. Miami vs. N.Y. Jets 12/28/03 Chiefs Seek to Contain Cardinals RB Edgerrin James The Chiefs have permitted just one 100-yard rusher (RB Tiki Barber) in their last 26 games, while the Cardinals have won their last four games when producing a 100-yard rusher. However, the Cardinals haven t boasted a 100-yard back in 30 straight games, the longest active drought in the league. The last Arizona runner to accomplish the feat was RB Emmitt Smith who posted 106 yards in a win vs. Seattle (10/24/04). Cardinals RB Edgerrin James faced the Chiefs five times in regular season and playoff competition as a member of the Colts. In those five career meetings, James has accumulated 494 ground yards, or an average of 98.8 yards per game. The math was simple in those contests. The Colts were 4-0 when James posted a 100-yard rushing game against Kansas City and were 0-1 in the club s only defeat against the Chiefs. KC held James to just 10 carries for 34 yards its most recent meeting with Indianapolis, a contest that resulted in a Chiefs victory (10/31/04). When James did top the 100-yard barrier in Indianapolis, the Colts were 43-6 (.878) in regular season play, including a streak of 16 consecutive victories in such games to finish his tenure with that franchise. James has averaged 68.0 rushing ypg in four games with Arizona. Dating back to 2005, James has gone seven starts without a 100-yard game, the longest stretch he s gone without a triple-digit rushing game since the 2002 campaign with the Colts. MOST CONS.

Smith, 110 yds vs. CHI 11/6/05 Chiefs Pass Defense Will be Tested By the Cardinals Kansas City is one of just three teams (Atlanta, Chicago) that has not allowed a TD pass in 2006, marking the first in franchise history that the Chiefs have not permitted a TD pass in the season s first three games. In fact, KC currently ranks second in the NFL in pass defense, allowing just yards per game, a decrease of yards per game compared to the club s three-game numbers from The Chiefs have allowed just five completions of 20+ yards this season, a mark that is tied for the NFL lead. Last year after three games, opponents had completed twice as many passes of 20 or more yards against the Chiefs. Kansas City s defense will face an Arizona offense that led the league with 63 completions of 20+ yards in The Cardinals have a pair of former Pro Bowl WRs at their disposal in Anquan Boldin (2003) and Larry Fitzgerald (2005). Although Arizona has been proficient moving the ball through the air, the Cardinals have lost 17 consecutive games dating back to 2000 when throwing two or more INTs. Dating back to a 49-0 win vs. Arizona (12/1/02), the Chiefs are 16-2 (.889) when forcing opponents to throw two or more INTs. Arizona QBs completed just 18 of 43 passes for 133 yards with four INTs in the last meeting between the two teams. Dating back to the start of the 2000 campaign, only St. Louis (141) has thrown more INTs than Arizona (127). Chiefs Have Excelled Thus Far in Scoring Defense After posting a 41-0 win vs. SF (10/1), the Chiefs hope to follow the trend of teams who pitched a shutout last season. Of the six teams that held an opponent scoreless during the 2005 regular season, five of those squads (Denver, New England, N.Y. Giants, Pittsburgh and Seattle) advanced to the playoffs, including both Super Bowl participants. The only club that didn t make that playoffs in 2005 after posting a regular season shutout was Cleveland, which registered a 22-0 win vs. Miami (11/20/05). While there were only six shutouts in the entire league a year ago, there have already been five in the NFL this season. The Chiefs and Steelers are the only teams that haven t allowed any points in the first quarter this season. Dating back to last season, KC has held its opponents scoreless in the first quarter in 12 of its last 19 games. The Chiefs defense has pitched a first-half shutout in its last two games, doing it for the first time since accomplishing the feat in contests at Baltimore (10/21/99) and vs. San Diego (10/31/99). KC will face an Arizona squad that has scored 31 points in the first quarter this season, the second-highest total in the NFL behind Seattle (38). Kansas City s defense has also been tough in the second half. Kansas City is one of just three teams (Atlanta, Baltimore) that have not allowed a second-half TD in The Chiefs and Cardinals have both scored exactly 27 points in the second half of games this season.

7 THE LAST GAME Chiefs 41, 49ers 0 October 1, 2006 Arrowhead Stadium 77,609 SAN FRANCISCO KANSAS CITY Dominating in all facets of the game, the Chiefs notched their first victory of the season with a thorough 41-0 win over the San Francisco 49ers. A defensive shutout, a sparkling passer rating from QB Damon Huard and a TD on special teams equaled a much-needed runaway victory for the Chiefs. With the team s back against the wall, the Chiefs couldn t have scripted a better start to the game. Huard filling in for injured starter Trent Green and making his first start at Arrowhead Stadium completed all five of his pass attempts on the opening series, including a picture-perfect 13-yard TD pass to WR Dante Hall. Kansas City chewed up over six minutes on the drive, running off 10 plays and sprinting out to a 7-0 lead. On the 49ers second play from scrimmage, rookie DE Tamba Hali recorded his first NFL sack, forcing a fumble in the process. San Francisco would recover that loose ball, but on the very next play, Chiefs LB Derrick Johnson stripped RB Frank Gore and Kansas City recovered at the SF 25-yard line. A 22-yard field goal from K Lawrence Tynes gave KC a 10-0 early lead. As would be the theme all afternoon, the Chiefs defense refused to let the 49ers mount any type of an attack. Not only did the Chiefs pitch their first shutout since a 49-0 win vs. Arizona (12/1/02), but the defense also tallied 5.0 sacks and four turnovers on the day. San Francisco mustered just 165 total net yards as the Chiefs upped their streak to 10 straight quarters without relinquishing a touchdown. The Chiefs would stretch their lead to 17-0 midway through the second quarter when RB Larry Johnson bulled across the goal line for his first touchdown of the season. Moments later Knight snatched his 38th career interception, returning it all the way to the 49ers 34-yard line. From there, Huard needed just one play to find WR Eddie Kennison on a stop-and-go route up the sideline for his second touchdown pass of the game and a commanding 24-0 Chiefs lead late in the first half. The 49ers would mount their best drive of the first half as time was running out on the first half, but the Chiefs shutout remained intact as K Joe Nedney s 51-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left as time expired in the first half. The second half brought more of the same as Chiefs WR Rod Gardner forced a fumbled on the opening kickoff of the third quarter. Rookie S Jarrad Page recovered the fumble near midfield to set up Tynes for his second field goal of the game and a 27-0 lead. Kansas City s offense went on the attack again late in the third quarter as Johnson racked up 32 rushing yards on the drive, including a two-yard TD run. With the 49ers game-planning to stop Johnson at all costs, the 2005 Pro Bowler wound up rushing for a hard-earned 101 yards on 30 carries. Hall put the exclamation point on the resounding win with a 60-yard punt return touchdown up the middle of the coverage unit midway through the fourth quarter. Hall s 11th career return score provided the final points of the Chiefs 41-0 victory. Hall, 13-yard pass from Huard (Tynes kick) (10-73, 6:05). Tynes, 22-yard field goal (7-21, 2:34). L.
