KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (1-6) VS. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (5-3) REGULAR SEASON GAME #8 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2008 12:00 PM (CENTRAL) ARROWHEAD STADIUM, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI FOX Regional Coverage WDAF-TV (FOX 4 in Kansas City) BROADCAST INFORMATION Chiefs FOX Football Radio Network KCFX-FM (101.1 FM in Kansas City) Play-by-play: Ron Pitts Color Commentator: Tony Boselli Sideline Reporter: Charissa Thompson 2008 Stats and NFL Rankings THE MATCH-UP The Chiefs host Tampa Bay at Arrowhead for the fi rst time since 86 as the Bucs make just their fi fth regular season appearance in Kansas City. Kansas City is coming off a tough 28-24 loss at the N.Y. Jets (10/26). The Chiefs forced three INTs of QB Brett Favre, but the Jets QB was able to guide his club to a comeback victory, throwing the game-winning TD with 1:00 left. In just his second NFL start, QB Tyler Thigpen looked sharp, throwing for 280 yards with two TDs and compiling an impressive 110.9 rating. Tampa Bay (5-3) wraps up a two-game road swing after a 13-9 loss at Dallas (10/26). The Buccaneers are a familar foe for Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards, who helped Tony Dungy revitalize that franchise. Edwards served as assistant head coach/secondary coach under Dungy with Tampa Bay from 96-00. After going 6-10 in 96, the Bucs made the playoffs three of the next four years, compiling a 39-25 (.609) regular season record from 97-00. The Bucs would reach the NFC Championship Game in 99 and would win Super Bowl XXXVII under head coach Jon Gruden following the 2002 campaign. While Edwards played a role in the Bucs resurgence, Gruden is certainly no stranger to Arrowhead, either. Gruden s fi rst game as an NFL head coach came in Kansas City as the Chiefs handed his Raiders squad a 28-8 setback (9/6/98). He then proceeded to register wins in his next three visits to Arrowhead as Oakland s head coach. In total, Gruden compiled a 5-3 record vs. Kansas City during his four seasons at the helm of the Silver and Black ( 98-01). The last time a Tampa Bay squad visited Arrowhead in the regular season was October 26, 1986. John Mackovic (KC) and Leeman Bennett (TB) were the coaches in that contest, while QBs Bill Kenney (KC) and Steve Young (TB) worked under center. That 22-year stretch between visits to Arrowhead by the Bucs ranks as the second-longest active such drought in the NFL. The longest such streak is also owned by Tampa Bay. Since the franchise s inception in 76, the Bucs have never visited Buffalo in the regular season. Up next for Kansas City is a road contest at San Diego (11/9). Tampa Bay enjoys a bye next week (11/9) before facing Minnesota (11/16).

Tampa Bay will make its fi rst trip to Arrowhead since 86, the second-longest current streak an NFL team has gone without traveling to an individual opponent. The Buccaneers have won the last two meetings in the series, both of which have been played at Raymond James Stadium. Most recently, Tampa Bay won a back-and-forth battle by a 34-31 count as RB Michael Pittman scored three TDs, including the game-winner with 11:50 left in the fourth quarter (11/7/04). CHIEFS VS.

Kansas City s last victory vs. Tampa Bay was the Joe Bowl when Pro Football Hall of Famers QB Joe Montana and RB Marcus Allen made their regular season debuts in Chiefs uniforms as the Chiefs collected a 27-3 win on Opening Day (9/5/93). That contest also marked the regular season NFL debut of G Will Shields, whose franchise-record streak of 224 consecutive games played began in that victory at Tampa Stadium. The Chiefs claimed a 28-19 win in its initial meeting with Tampa in 76 when the Bucs were a member of the AFC West. The Bucs switched to the NFC Central in 77, while Seattle joined the AFC West. Perhaps the most memorable Chiefs-Bucs game came at Tampa Stadium (12/16/79). The game was played in a constant downpour and was deadlocked in a scoreless tie until Bucs K Neil O Donoghue hit a 19-yard FG to give Tampa Bay a 3-0 advantage with 8:50 left in regulation. That win clinched the NFC Central for the Bucs, who advanced to the NFC title game vs. the L.A. Rams. Kansas City and Tampa Bay have met four times in preseason play with the Bucs holding a 3-1 edge. The Bucs won the last meeting by a 37-14 count at Tampa (8/25/00), while the Chiefs claimed a 17-13 decision in a game played at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK (8/8/98).

VS. CHIEFS HEAD COACH - HERM EDWARDS Herm Edwards was named the 10th head coach in Kansas City history on January 9, 2006. The fi rst coach in franchise history to guide the Chiefs to the playoffs in his initial season, he helped the 2006 Chiefs become just the fi fth team since 2000 to overcome an 0-2 start and still make the postseason. Edwards guided the N.Y. Jets to three postseason berths during a fi ve-year stint (2001-05) with that franchise. He originally joined the Chiefs as a recipient of the NFL s Minority Coaching Fellowship in 89. He later served as a scout ( 90-91, 95) and also coached defensive backs ( 92-94). Born in Fort Monmouth, NJ on April 27, 1954, Edwards served as Tampa Bay s assistant head coach/dbs coach under Tony Dungy from 96-00. Edwards concluded his college career as a DB at San Diego State in 76 and signed as a rookie free agent with Philadelphia ( 77-85). In 135 career starts with the Eagles, he established a franchise record with 38 INTs, and started in Super Bowl XV. Edwards concluded his NFL playing career seeing duty in seven games for the Rams and Falcons in 86. He then coached DBs at San Jose State ( 87-89) prior to his arrival in the NFL ranks with Kansas City in 90. BUCCANEERS HEAD COACH - JON GRUDEN Jon Gruden was named the seventh head coach in Tampa Bay history on February 18, 2002. In his fi rst season in Tampa, Gruden led the Buccaneers to a 48-21 victory against the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII. The 2002 Bucs led the NFL in scoring defense (12.3 ppg), total defense (252.8 ypg) and pass defense (155.6 ypg). He also led Tampa Bay to playoff appearances in 2005 and 2007. He spent the previous four seasons ( 98-01) as the head coach in Oakland, where he posted a 38-26 record. In 2000, Gruden guided the Raiders to their fi rst AFC Championship Game appearance since 90. The Sandusky, Ohio native served as the offensive coordinator for Philadelphia for three seasons ( 95-97). After serving the 91 season as the WRs coach at the University of Pittsburgh under Paul Hackett, Gruden resumed his NFL career as WRs coach under Mike Holmgren for Green Bay ( 92-94). He began his NFL coaching career as an offensive assistant with the 49ers ( 90). A QB at Dayton ( 83-85), Gruden served as a GA at Tennessee ( 86-87) before enjoying stints at Southeast Missouri State ( 88) and the University of the Pacifi c ( 89). Gruden is presently the third-youngest head coach in the NFL at 45 years old.

THE BUCCANEERS (1-0) DATE RESULT OPP. COACH 10-9-05 W N.Y. JETS 14, Tampa Bay 12 Jon Gruden HOME TEAM IN ALL CAPS YOUTH WILL BE SERVED Kansas City s roster has undergone a tremendous transformation. Incredibly, 60.4% of the players on Kansas City s 53-man roster (32 of 53) have three years of NFL experience or less, including 15 rookies (28.3%), the most rookies on any NFL Opening Day roster. The Chiefs started six of those rookies on Opening Day, the highest tally by the club since the AFL-NFL merger in 70. Based on research compiled by Mike Sando of ESPN.com, the Chiefs boasted the NFL s youngest Opening Day starting lineup in the NFL at 25.18 years old. Based on Opening Day 53-man rosters provided by the NFL, the Chiefs and Packers owned the NFL s youngest rosters at 25.57 years old. In terms of average experience, no team had a lower average experience than Kansas City at 3.45 years. Kansas City also boasted the distinction of fi elding an NFL-high 17 rookies or fi rst-year players on its Opening Day roster, a fi gure that included a league-high 15 rookies. QB STABILITY A RARITY FOR EDWARDS The Chiefs have employed three different starting QBs for just the fi fth time in Chiefs history. The Chiefs are just the fourth team since the AFL-NFL merger to start three different QBs in the fi rst three games of the year in a nonstrike season, joining the 76 L.A. Rams, the 88 Cleveland Browns and the 97 Jacksonville Jaguars. Herm Edwards has made four playoff appearances since 2001 (only Tony Dungy - 7 and Bill Belichick - 6 own more). Since QB Vinny Testaverde started all 16 games for Edwards and the playoff-bound N.Y. Jets in 2001, Edwards has never enjoyed another season where a single QB opened all 16 games. Twice in KC (2006, 2008), his starting QB has been injured on Opening Day. Here are Edwards starting QBs during tenure as an NFL head coach. HERM EDWARDS STARTING QBS AS AN NFL HEAD COACH (2001-08) Year Team Record Starting QBs (Record) 2001 N.Y. Jets 10-6* Testaverde (10-6) 2002 N.Y. Jets 9-7* Pennington (8-4), Testaverde (1-3) 2003 N.Y.

He ranks 11th on the NFL s all-time receiving chart, needing 10 more catches to bypass WR Jimmy Smith (862) for 10th. Gonzalez s 69 total TDs with the Chiefs trail only RB Priest Holmes (83) in KC annals. Gonzalez ranks second in franchise history with 10,274 combined net yards. In addition, no tight end in NFL history owns more consecutive 60-catch campaigns (nine) than Gonzalez. Gonzalez owns 23 career 100-yard receiving games, the most in Chiefs history. Those 23 100-yard games are second in NFL history among TEs, trailing only Kellen Winslow (24). Gonzalez extended his team-record streak of games with at least one reception to 122 contests at the N.Y. Jets (10/26). Only Ozzie Newsome (150) has a longer streak by a TE in NFL history.

Casper BUILDING THROUGH THE DRAFT The Chiefs currently have 27 players on the 53-man roster or a reserve list (27 of 57-47.9%) who originally entered the NFL as Chiefs draftees. Twentytwo of those 57 have been selected over the past three years. Defensively, the only position where a Chiefs draftee has not started at least three games has been at MLB, where LB Pat Thomas (FA-07) has opened every contest. In total, 62 of a possible 77 starts (80.5%) on the Chiefs defense in 2008 have been made by players who entered the NFL as KC draft choice. CB Brandon Flowers (D2-08) missed his only start vs. Tennessee (10/19) when the club started with an extra LB. Offensively, 35 of a possible 77 starts (45.5%) have been made by Chiefs draftees, meaning 97 of a possible 154 starts (63.0%) by the Chiefs in 2008 have been made by Chiefs draftees. In total, 10 different Chiefs draftees have started every game for the club in 2008. Nine of those 10 players have been picked in the past four drafts, including eight in the past three drafts.

LB Derrick Johnson (D1-05) enjoyed a monster game vs. Denver (9/28) with an INT, a FF and half a sack and was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week. KC s LB corps also includes Donnie Edwards, Pat Thomas, Demorrio Williams (UFA-ATL) and Rocky Boiman. QBs Brodie Croyle (D3-06) and Damon Huard are both on IR.

Tampa Bay Makes a Rare Regular Season Visit to Kansas City by Pete Moris Tampa Bay Makes a Rare Visit to Kansas City It s been 22 seasons since Tampa Bay s last regular season visit to Arrowhead, the second-longest active drought by one team visiting another current team in the NFL. The longest such streak is also owned by Tampa Bay. Since their inception in 76, the Bucs have never visited Buffalo in the regular season. Here s a look at the fi ve longest active such stretches(regular and postseason) courtesy of our friends at STATS, LLC.

Indianapolis at Arizona December 2, 1990 ARZ 20-17 The Arrowhead Advantage vs. the NFC The Chiefs boast a 21-5 (.808) mark at Arrowhead vs. NFC foes dating back to the 95 campaign. Only Jacksonville boasts a better home record in interconference play over that span at 21-4 (.840). Kansas City s domination of NFC opponents at Arrowhead has been remarkable. In 26 home contests against NFC foes since 95, KC has outscored those opponents by a 769- to-443 margin, an average score of 29.6 to 17.0. KC s last victory against an NFC South foe was a 56-10 win vs. Atlanta (10/24/04). Dating back to 2002, the Chiefs have won nine of their last 12 home games vs. NFC opponents. Tampa Bay is 10-15 (.400) vs. AFC opponents under Jon Gruden, but has lost 10 of its last 11 road contests vs. the AFC. The Bucs only road win vs. an AFC opponent since the start of the 2003 campaign was a 22-7 victory at Cleveland (12/24/06). KANSAS CITY VS.

KC hasn t lost a home outing with a positive turnover differential since 2002 and are 9-2 under Herm Edwards when positive. The Chiefs are 46-4 (.920) at Arrowhead when positive dating back to 95. KC was +3 (4 takes/1 give) in a 33-19 win vs. Denver (9/28) and was +3 (3 takes/0 gives) at NYJ (10/26). KC hasn t committed a turnover in its last two games and is seeking to go three straight without a giveaway since 2006 (at STL 11/5, at MIA 11/12, vs. OAK 11/19). The Chiefs are tied for eighth in the NFL with a +4 ratio (14 takes/10 gives). The Bucs are 41-7 (.854) with a positive turnover mark under head coach Jon Gruden. However, Tampa Bay is just 6-35 (.146) when negative under Gruden, including a 2-20 (.091) road record.

Tampa Bay has lost 15 of its last 16 road games when it has been held to 21 points or less, including a string of seven straight losses in those circumstances. That lone win over that span was a 20-7 victory at Carolina (9/30/07). Overall, Tampa Bay is just 5-15 (.250) on the road since the start of the 2006 campaign. Chiefs-Bucs Passing Stats Bucs QB Jeff Garcia owns a 54-55 (.495) record as an NFL starter, including a 13-17 (.433) mark vs. AFC foes. Garcia won a pair of starts against the Chiefs as a member of the 49ers, but has never started at Arrowhead. The Chiefs are one of just three NFL teams (Cleveland and Minnesota are the others) that Garcia has faced and has never thrown a TD against. He s never played against New England or Houston. KC is 31-4 (.886) at Arrowhead dating back to 95 when the club forces two or more INTs. The Chiefs had three INTs at NYJ (10/26), the club s most since registering four INTs vs. NE (11/27/05).

QB Doug Williams led the Bucs to a 30-13 win at Arrowhead (10/8/78), the club s only regular season win in KC. Chiefs QB Tyler Thigpen will make his third career start on Sunday and his fi rst at Arrowhead. When Thigpen opened his fi rst NFL game at Atlanta (9/21), he became the sixth-youngest player in Chiefs history to make his fi rst start at QB (24 years, 5 months, 7 days). Thigpen completed 25 of 36 passes for 280 yards with two TDs and a 110.9 rating at NYJ (10/26). QB JEFF GARCIA S CAREER STARTS VS. KANSAS CITY (2-0) Date Comp-Att.

The Chiefs held a 13-10 halftime advantage in a 33-19 win vs. Denver (9/28), marking the only time KC has led at the half in 2008. Tampa Bay trailed 10-6 at halftime at Dallas (10/26), the fi rst time the club has trailed at half this season. KC was tied at 14-14 at NYJ (10/26). The Bucs are 42-7 (.857) under Jon Gruden when leading at halftime, including a 13-2 (.867) mark dating back to last season. Tampa is 6-39 (.133) when trailing after two quarters under Gruden, including a 2-17 (.105) record going back to 2006. The Bucs have outscored their opponents by a league-best 55-point margin (100 to 45) in the fi rst half this season. Only Tennessee (39) has allowed fewer fi rst-half points than the Bucs (45). Only DET and OAK (36) have scored fewer fi rst-half points than KC (37). Chiefs-Buccaneers Rushing Notes Dating back to 2003, KC is 28-11 (.718) when it has a running back register a 100-yard rushing performance, including a 18-3 (.857) mark at Arrowhead. Tampa Bay is 20-4 (.833) under Jon Gruden when producing a 100-yard rusher, including a streak of seven straight victories. The Bucs are just 5-18 (.217) under Gruden when allowing a 100-yard back. Tampa is just one of six teams that have yet to permit a 100-yard rusher in 2008. 1996 Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. the 2008 Kansas City Chiefs Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards is no stranger to a rebuilding project. He embarked on a similar endeavor with then-bucs head coach Tony Dungy in 96 when he served as Tampa Bay s assistant head coach/secondary coach. Dungy s squad started the season with a 1-8 record before winning fi ve of the club s last seven games to fi nish the season at 6-10. The Bucs would make the postseason four of the next fi ve years under Dungy. That 96 Bucs squad featured six players drafted by Tampa Bay that would go on to earn a combined 34 Pro Bowl berths: LB Derrick Brooks (D1b-95) - 10 Pro Bowls; S John Lynch (D3b-93) - 9 Pro Bowls; DT Warren Sapp (D1a-95) - 7 Pro Bowls; FB Mike Alstott (D2a-96) - 6 Pro Bowls; CB Donnie Abraham (D3-96) - 1 Pro Bowl and QB Trent Dilfer (D1-94) - 1 Pro Bowl. Dilfer started 58 of a possible 64 games for the Bucs from 96-99 before leading Baltimore to a Super Bowl XXXV title following the 2000 season. Another notable defensive draft pick made during the Dungy/ Edwards era in Tampa was CB Ronde Barber (D3-97) - 4 Pro Bowls. Here is a snapshot of the 96 Bucs and the 2008 Chiefs...

THE LAST TIME Buccaneers 34, Chiefs 31 November 7, 2004 Raymond James Stadium 65,495 KANSAS CITY............. 7 17 7 0 31 TAMPA BAY............... 7 14 7 6 34 The Chiefs suffered a narrow defeat in the waning moments of another game as Kansas City dropped a 34-31 decision at Tampa Bay. Despite 459 yards of total offense, it was Tampa Bay that produced enough plays to make the difference. QB Trent Green orchestrated a crisp 10-play, 77-yard TD drive to open the game. The scoring came on a precision pass from Green who was drilled after the throw to WR Johnnie Morton for a 25-yard TD. However, as would happen all day, Bucs QB Brian Griese would counter with an eight-yard TD pass to FB Jameel Cook to tie the count at 7-7. Meanwhile, the Bucs defense was able to force three KC turnovers in extremely critical situations. After Green found WR Eddie Kennison for a 59-yard connection, Kennison was stripped by Bucs S Dwight Smith at the KC 11-yard line, thwarting a golden scoring opportunity. A wild second quarter ensued as the two clubs combined for 31 points. Bucs RB Michael Pittman and KC RB Priest Holmes each scored on short TD runs, while a 31-yard FG gave KC a 17-14 lead midway through the quarter. TB jumped back ahead 21-17 before Green found Gonzalez for a 23-yard TD with 0:35 left in the half. Tampa Bay misfired on a 46-yard FG at the end of the period as KC took a 24-21 lead into the locker room. Pittman bolted for a 78-yard score on the second snap of the third quarter, while Holmes left the game with a right knee injury. Green again rallied the Chiefs, connecting on a one-yard TD to TE Jason Dunn to give KC a 31-28 edge entering the fourth quarter. A three-yard Pittman TD put TB ahead 34-31, but a high snap on the ensuing PAT try left the door open for the Chiefs. The game s key play came with 5:58 left and KC on the Bucs 22-yard line as LB Derrick Brooks connected with Green s elbow just as he was delivering a throw to Gonzalez in the end zone. The pass was intercepted, but KC s defense forced the Bucs to punt, giving the Chiefs one final shot. KC got as deep as the TB 43- yard line, but a pair of sacks by TB sealed the 34-31 decision. Green finished the day with 369 passing yards to put him in a tie with QB Bill Kenney (15) for the most 300-yard games in Chiefs history. Meanwhile, Gonzalez finished the contest with nine catches for 123 yards. GAME NOTES TE Tony Gonzalez moved ahead of Frank Wycheck (505) into fourth place in career receptions by a TE in NFL history. He also registered his 52nd career TD catch, moving him into a tie with Dave Casper for the fourth-most by a TE in NFL history. Gonzalez recorded his 12th career 100- yard receiving game, tying him for third in Chiefs history with E Chris Burford and WR Derrick Alexander. The Chiefs had a 100-yard receiving tandem with Gonzalez (123 yards) and WR Eddie Kennison (104 yards), marking the first time KC has accomplished that feat since Gonzalez (121) and WR Johnnie Morton (109) did it at GB (10/12/03).

The Jets punched in the winning score with 1:00 to play, spoiling the Chiefs hopes of pulling the upset. QB Tyler Thigpen was at the controls of a Chiefs offense that produced two TDs, 330 yards and did not have a turnover. The Chiefs defense picked off QB Brett Favre three times, including two by CB Brandon Flowers, who returned one for a 91-yard TD. The Jets got the ball first and Favre promptly moved his offense 73 yards on 10 plays that ended up with an 18-yard TD pass to RB Leon Washington for an early 7-0 lead. After the Chiefs punted in their first posession, Favre took the Jets back into scoring territory, but the Chiefs defense stiffened and K Jay Feely missed a 36-yard FG try. The Jets had the ball back as the first quarter was nearing an end, but Flowers picked off a Favre pass and returned the INT 27 yards to the Jets 38-yard line. The Chiefs got on the board early in the second quarter on a 19-yard touchdown pass from Thigpen to TE Tony Gonzalez. It capped a four-play, 38-yard drive after the Flowers INT to tie the score at 7-7. After trading punts, Thigpen continued his hot hand by completing his first 10 passes before throwing an incompletion with 3:59 to play in the period. Defensively, the Chiefs picked off another Favre pass, as S Jarrad Page pulled down the INT. The Jets got a TD before the end of the quarter. Washington took a draw play 60 yards for his second TD of the day, making the score 14-7 in favor of the Jets. The Chiefs came right back and moved the ball into scoring position, thanks to a 30-yard run by RB Jamaal Charles and a 21-yard Thigpen-to-Gonzalez completion. The Chiefs got their second touchdown of the half, as Thigpen hit WR Mark Bradley in the end zone to tie the game at 14-14 as a replay review gave KC the tying score. Beginning the third quarter out of a no-huddle, shotgun scheme, the Chiefs offense moved 66 yards on 12 plays. Thigpen completed passes to five different receivers in the drive, moving the ball to the Jets nine-yard line before settling for a 30-yard K Connor Barth FG and a 17-14 lead. Late in the quarter Favre moved the Jets 72 yards on 13 plays that ended on a one-yard TD run by RB Thomas Jones. Jones TD gave the Jets a 21-17 lead as the third quarter came to a close. But the Chiefs got a huge lift midway through the fourth quarter on the second INT of the game by Flowers. He grabbed a pass intended for WR Chansi Stuckey and returned the INT for a 91-yard TD to give the Chiefs a 24-21 lead with 7:48 to play in the game. The Chiefs had a chance to salt away the victory, but couldn t get a first down. A nice punt return by Washington gave the Jets possession at the Chiefs 46-yard line. In six plays, Favre had New York in the end zone, throwing a 15-yard TD pass to WR Lavernaues Coles to make the final count 28-24. GAME NOTES TE Tony Gonzalez (853) moved into 11th on the NFL s all-time receptions chart ahead of WR Irving Fryar (851). CB Brandon Flowers 91-yard INT return TD was the fifth-longest in Chiefs history and the longest since CB Kevin Ross had a 99-yard INT return at San Diego (9/6/92). Flowers 118 INT return yards were the secondhighest single-game total in team history. THE LAST GAME N.Y.
