NUMEROUS NOTABLE INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCES The Chiefs had several players produce record-setting performances in 2005. Here s a look at some of the highlights... G WILL SHIELDS KEEPS GOING AND GOING... G Will Shields was named to his 11th consecutive Pro Bowl, the longest streak and the most total Pro Bowl selections of any player in franchise history. Shields extended his franchise-record string of regular season starts to 207 games, the second-longest active streak in the league behind only Green Bay QB Brett Favre (221). Shields joined OL Bruce Matthews (229), Favre (221) and G Randall McDaniel (202) as just the fourth player since the AFL- NFL merger to own a streak of 200 or more starts. Shields streak of 208 consecutive games played is the longest in franchise history. His 208 total regular season appearances are second in franchise history behind only K Nick Lowery (212). RB LARRY JOHNSON S RUSHING RAMPAGE RB Larry Johnson earned his initial Pro Bowl appearance after finishing the season with a franchise-record 1,750 rushing yards, breaking the previous mark of 1,615 yards established by RB Priest Holmes in 2002.

Johnson started the final nine games of the season and established a franchise record by registering a 100-yard rushing game in each of those nine contests, the longest active streak in the NFL and a streak that ties as the third-longest in NFL history. Johnson averaged 150.1 rushing ypg in his nine starts in 2005. Projected over an entire 16-game schedule, that average would have translated into 2,401 rushing yards or 296 more than the NFL single-season record of 2,105 established by Hall of Fame RB Eric Dickerson with the L.A. Rams in 84. Johnson registered a pair of 200-yard rushing games in 2005, setting a single-game franchise record with 211 yards at Houston (11/20).

San Francisco QB Steve Young ( 91-98) and Favre ( 91-98) are the only other players in NFL history to accomplish such a feat. Posted 4,014 passing yards, becoming just the fourth QB in NFL history to post three consecutive 4,000-yard passing seasons, joining San Diego QB Dan Fouts ( 79-81), Miami QB Dan Marino ( 84-86) and Indianapolis QB Peyton Manning ( 99-04). Owns an 87.9 career passer rating, the eighth-best mark in NFL history. TE TONY GONZALEZ S RECEIVING STREAK TE Tony Gonzalez has registered a reception in a franchiserecord 84 consecutive games dating back to an 11-catch performance at New England (12/4/00), breaking the previous streak of 83 games owned by WR Stephone Paige.
