PRESEASON GAME #3 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (0-2) VS. ST. LOUIS RAMS (1-1) GOVERNOR S CUP SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 2006 7:30 PM (CENTRAL) ARROWHEAD STADIUM KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI TV: KCTV-5 (CBS in Kansas City) Roger Twibell, Jayice Pearson and Rich Baldinger. RADIO: KCFX-FM (101.1) Mitch Holthus, Len Dawson, Bob Gretz and Bill Grigsby. THE MATCH-UP Kansas City and St. Louis will square off in the latest installment of the Governor s Cup series on Saturday at Arrowhead (8/26) when the Chiefs and Rams duel in the season s third preseason contest for both clubs. Saturday s outing will serve as a preview of a regular season meeting between the two clubs slated for November 5th at the Edward Jones Dome. This weekend s outing will give both clubs an opportunity to take a final look at their personnel before the NFL s first mandatory cutdown day on Tuesday, August 29th when teams must trim their rosters to 75 players. All NFL clubs must cut their rosters to 53 players on Saturday, September 2nd. Saturday s contest will mark the debut of Herm Edwards on the Arrowhead sideline as Kansas City s head coach. It also will serve as the initial meeting between Edwards and St. Louis head coach Scott Linehan as NFL head coaches. Linehan is in his first season as an NFL head coach, while Edwards joined the Chiefs after a five-year stint guiding the fortunes of the N.Y. Jets. Kansas City enters Saturday s game still seeking its initial victory in preseason play under Edwards. The Chiefs are coming off a 17-0 loss at the N.Y. Giants (8/17) after suffering a 24-14 loss in their preseason debut at Houston (8/12). St. Louis is 1-1 in preseason action. The Rams registered a 19-17 win in their preseason opener vs. Indianapolis (8/10) and suffered a 27-20 home loss vs. Houston (8/19). While Kansas City and St. Louis have both changed head coaches since QB Trent Green was traded to the Chiefs from the Rams in 2001, Green has simply been a model of consistency over the past five seasons. During that five-year span, only Colts QB Peyton Manning (20,902) owns more passing yards than Green (20,117), who owns the eighth-best career rating (88.3) in Kansas City history. Kansas City closes out its preseason schedule with a home date vs. New Orleans (8/31), while St. Louis concludes its preseason slate with a contest at Miami (8/31). 2005 FINAL STATS AND NFL RANKINGS CHIEFS RAMS Total Offense... 387.0 (1) 348.2 (9) Rush Offense... 148.9 (4) 95.9 (22) Pass Offense... 238.1 (6) 252.3 (4) Total Defense... 328.1 (25) 350.1 (30) Rush Defense... 98.1 (7) 136.1 (28) Pass Defense... 229.9 (30) 214.0 (23) Turnover Ratio... +8 (8) -10 (28t) Pts./Game... 25.2 (6) 22.7 (11) Opp. Pts./Game... 20.3 (16) 26.8 (31) THE SERIES Kansas City is 6-10 in preseason action against the Rams.

The regular season series between the two clubs is deadlocked at 4-4-0. Since the Rams relocated to Missouri in 95, KC has won all three meetings between the two clubs under three different head coaches. In the most recent meeting, KC collected a 49-10 win at Arrowhead (12/8/02). The Rams last regular season win in the series was a 16-0 decision (9/25/94). The two squads will meet again in the regular season at St. Louis (11/5). The Chiefs have pummeled their in-state, I-70 rivals by a combined 103-44 margin in the Rams last two regular season visits to Arrowhead, including that 49-10 victory (12/8/02). The most prolific scoring game in the series was a 54-34 Chiefs win under head coach Gunther Cunningham at Arrowhead (10/22/00), a contest which snapped a six-game Rams winning streak. Those 54 points were the fourth-highest tally in KC history and the second-highest total ever accumulated at Arrowhead. Those 88 total points were also the second-highest total ever scored in a Chiefs game. Kansas City also won at St. Louis by a 28-20 count (10/26/97) under head coach Marty Schottenheimer.

HERM EDWARDS NFL Head Coach: 6th Year NFL Coach Overall: 17th Year NFL Overall: 41-44 (.482) Regular Season: 39-41 (.488) Postseason: 2-3 (.400) Record w/nyj: 41-44 (.482) Overall NFL Exp: 27 years NFL Playing Exp: 10 years College: San Diego State ( 77) THE HEAD COACHES SCOTT LINEHAN NFL Head Coach: 1st Year NFL Coach Overall: 5th Year NFL Overall: 0-0 (.000) Regular Season: 0-0 (.000) Preseason: 1-1 (.500) Record w/stl: 0-0 (.000) AFC West Experience: None NFL Playing Exp: None College: Idaho ( 87) Herm Edwards was named the 10th head coach in Kansas City history on January 9, 2006. He rejoined the Chiefs after a five-year stint (2001-05) as head coach of the N.Y. Jets. Edwards guided the Jets to three postseason berths, the most of any coach in that franchise s history. Edwards 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 for Kansas City ( 92-94). Born in Fort Monmouth, NJ on April 24, 1954, Edwards served as Tampa Bay s assistant head coach/dbs coach under Tony Dungy from 96-00 before taking over as the head coaching reins of the Jets. 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. EDWARDS VS. THE RAMS (0-2) Herm Edwards is 0-2 all-time vs. the Rams. This is the first meeting between Edwards and Scott Linehan as NFL head coaches. DATE RESULT OPP. COACH 10/21/01 L St. Louis 34, N.Y. JETS 14 Mike Martz 1/2/05 L ST. LOUIS 32, N.Y. Jets 29 OT Mike Martz ACCORDING TO COACH HERM... On his team philosophy: Just because they hired a defensive head coach everyone thinks I m going to change the offense. I m not trying to change the offense. There is a certain way you ve got to play. The defense has to go out there and stop them and the offense has to believe when we have that kind of lead we can run the ball and the game s over. We ve got to play the clock a little better and protect each other. You look at the playoff teams, their defenses are pretty good and help them win on the road. You have to have a defense that can go in there and slow down an offense on the road because then you can keep the game close and smart teams win close games. On the 2006 Chiefs: This team is a good football team. This is not a team that hasn t won. This team has won. We just haven t been in the playoffs enough and that s the hurdle we are facing now. That s something we have to strive to be more consistent that way. I think this team has a lot of gifted players. Look at the number of Pro Bowl players they had last year. Maybe not on defense, but hopefully that s going to change. I would assume that s going to change. I think sometimes we jump ahead too far. We worry about Super Bowls, but you can t win a Super Bowl unless you win your first game. You might luck into one every once in a while and have a great season, but most of the time you have to be a consistent playoff football team. That s what this team needs to become. We need to become a consistent playoff team. We have to get to the playoffs. Scott Linehan was named the 22nd head coach in Rams history on January 19, 2006, after one season serving as Miami s offensive coordinator. The Dolphins offense went from 29th in total offense to 14th under Linehan. He entered the NFL in 2002 as offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for the Minnesota Vikings, holding that post from 2002-04. Prior to entering the NFL ranks, Linehan served in the college ranks for 13 years, beginning his coaching career at his alma mater of Idaho ( 92-93). Linehan served five seasons at Washington ( 94-98), including three as offensive coordinator. He also spent three seasons as offensive coordinator at Louisville ( 99-01). Linehan s teams played in seven bowl games, won five conference titles and advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs four times. Born September 17, 1963 in Sunnyside, Washington, Linehan played quarterback for coach Dennis Erickson s Idaho Vandals ( 82-86). He led the Vandals to a Big Sky Conference championship ( 85) and three straight playoff appearances ( 84-86). Linehan signed as a rookie free agent with Dallas in 87, but his playing career was curtailed by a shoulder injury. WHAT TO WATCH IN 2006 DE Jared Allen has 20.0 career sacks and needs 4.5 more to move into the club s all-time top 10 in that category. TE Tony Gonzalez has 56 TD receptions and needs two more to pass WR Otis Taylor (57) for the most in Chiefs history. Gonzalez has 648 receptions and needs 15 more catches to surpass TE Ozzie Newsome (662) for the second-most by a TE in NFL history. QB Trent Green has made 99 career regular season starts and will open his 100th NFL game in his next start. Green is the only QB to have an active streak of four consecutive 90.0+ rating seasons and is only the third QB in NFL history to accomplish the feat. He can pass Green Bay QB Brett Favre (four) for the second-longest streak in NFL history. WR Dante Hall has six career kickoff return TDs and needs one more to surpass RBs Ollie Matson, Gale Sayers, Travis Williams and Mel Gray for the most in NFL history. RB Larry Johnson has 2,416 rushing yards and needs 1,283 more to move into the club s all-time top five. RB Marcus Allen (3,698) currently ranks fifth in that category. G Will Shields has started 207 consecutive games, the longest streak in team history and the third-longest streak in the NFL history since 70. Shields has played in 208 games and can pass K Nick Lowery (212) for first in team history in 2006. K Lawrence Tynes has made 44 field goals and needs six more to surpass Lin Elliott (49) for fourth in team history. S Greg Wesley has 26 interceptions and needs two more to move ahead of LB Willie Lanier (27) for eighth in team history. THE GOVERNOR S CUP The Chiefs own a 6-5 record in Governor s Cup competition with the Rams, including a 3-0 record in regular season play. Saturday s contest will mark Herm Edwards first foray into Governor s Cup play as Kansas City s head coach. The two teams will meet again in regular season play at the Edwards Jones Dome (11/5). Kansas City posted a 16-7-2 mark in its Governor s Cup series against the St. Louis Cardinals from 68-87, going 2-1-1 in the regular season record and 14-6-1 in preseason play.

Herm Edwards enters his sixth season as an NFL head coach, his first guiding the Chiefs. Gunther Cunningham is his second stint as KC s defensive coordinator after rejoining the club in 2004. Mike Solari enters his 10th season with the Chiefs and was promoted to offensive coordinator in the off-season. Kansas City continued to bolster its defensive unit in the offseason with several more notable additions. In addition to former Pro Bowlers already on the roster such as LB Kendrell Bell, CB Patrick Surtain and S Sammy Knight, the Chiefs added five-time Pro Bowl CB Ty Law as a free agent on July 23rd. The Chiefs secondary was further solidified with a pair of promising young players in S Bernard Pollard (D2-06) and S Jarrad Page (D7-06). After tabbing LB Derrick Johnson (D1-05) last season, the Chiefs also went defense with their top selection in this year s draft in DE Tamba Hali (D1-06). LB Kawika Mitchell (D2-03) serves as the club s defensive signal caller and appears poised for even bigger things after posting a team-high 135 tackles in 2005. DE Jared Allen (D4b-04) had a team-best 11.0 sacks and owns 20.0 sacks in his first two seasons. The core of Kansas City s record-setting offensive unit remains intact. Two-time Pro Bowl QB Trent Green headlines an experienced group that includes arguably the finest guard tandem in the league in 11-time Pro Bowler Will Shields and two-time Pro Bowler Brian Waters. C Casey Wiegmann is also one of the league s top players at his position. Running behind that offensive front is Pro Bowl RB Larry Johnson, who established a franchise record with 1,750 rushing yards in 2005, including nine straight 100-yard games to close out the year. Johnson also racked up 20 rushing scores in 2005 and totaled an incredible 2,093 yards from scrimmage on the season to rank second in the league. Seven-time Pro Bowl TE Tony Gonzalez continues to produce at a consistent rate and is the franchise s all-time leading receiver, while WR Eddie Kennison has registered back-to-back 1,000- yard campaigns. Kansas City s specialty units are headed by Mike Priefer. The Chiefs boast one of the league s top young kicking tandems in K Lawrence Tynes and P Dustin Colquitt (D3-05). TE Kendall Gammon earned a Pro Bowl berth for his long-snapping exploits in 2004, while WR Dante Hall has earned a pair of Pro Bowl berths as a return man. CHIEFS-RAMS CONNECTIONS Chiefs QB TRENT GREEN appeared in eight games (five starts) for the Rams ( 99-00), completing 145 of 240 passes for 2,063 yards with 16 TDs and fives INTs, good for a 101.8 rating.

THE LAST TIME Chiefs 49, Rams 10 December 8, 2002 Arrowhead Stadium 78,601 ST. LOUIS.......... 10 0 0 0 10 KANSAS CITY....... 14 21 0 14 49 The Chiefs rolled up 49 points for the second week in a row as KC claimed the Governor s Cup with a convincing 49-10 victory over the in-state rival St. Louis Rams. KC s defense and special teams accounted for 21 points. WR Dante Hall became the first player in team history and the 21st in NFL history to record two kick return scores in a single contest, getting TDs on both a PR and KOR. After St. Louis got off to a 3-0 lead, Hall took the ensuing kickoff back for an 88-yard TD. Then on the Rams next possession, KC s defense got into the scoring column as DE Duane Clemons recorded a 42-yard fumble return for a TD. On the play DE Eric Hicks recorded the first of the Chiefs 6.0 sacks when he stripped Rams QB Jamie Martin and helped put the Chiefs ahead 14-3. An eight-yard TD catch by WR Isaac Bruce brought the Rams within 14-10, but it would be as close as they would get. Hall would return a punt 86 yards for a TD, while RB Priest Holmes would rush for two scores to make the count 35-10 at halftime. Holmes finished with 132 rushing yards, his fourth-straight 100- yard game. Kansas City s defense took it from there, pitching a secondhalf shutout for the second straight week. DT John Browning led the way with a pair of sacks and both LB Marvcus Patton and SS Greg Wesley recorded interceptions. St. Louis third-rated passing offense was held to just 218 yards and 2000 NFL MVP RB Marshall Faulk was limited to just 13 rushing yards and 35 yards through the air. WR Marc Boerigter and RB Michael Cloud added fourthquarter TDs as the Chiefs posted a 49-10 win. GAME NOTES WR Dante Hall s 44.67-yard kickoff return average vs. St. Louis was a Chiefs single-game record, breaking Paul Palmer s previous mark of 44.33 yards vs. Seattle (12/27/87). With two TD runs vs. St. Louis, RB Priest Holmes extended his team record for consecutive games with a rushing score to 11 games, Holmes tied Lenny Moore (Baltimore - 63-64) and Emmitt Smith (Dallas - 94-95 and 95) for the third-longest streak of consecutive games with a rushing TD in NFL history. Holmes recorded his 15th 100-yard rushing game with the Chiefs, breaking Christian Okoye s franchise record. It was his fourth consecutive 100-yard game, also a club record. With 12 points vs. St. Louis, RB Priest Holmes registered his 144th point of the season, moving him ahead of Nick Lowery (139) for the Chiefs single-season scoring record. DE Duane Clemons registered his first NFL TD on a 42- yard return of a QB Jamie Martin fumble. It marked the 14th straight season dating back to 89 that the Chiefs had scored a defensive TD. RAMS J.

THE LAST GAME Giants 17, Chiefs 0 August 17, 2006 Giants Stadium 76,316 KANSAS CITY........ 0 0 0 0 0 N.Y. GIANTS......... 7 7 3 0 17 The Chiefs continued their preseason road swing with a trip to the Meadowlands as head coach Herm Edwards returned to his former stomping grounds. After falling behind 14-0 early in the second quarter, Kansas City was unable to mount a rally, falling by a final tally of 17-0. After the Chiefs went three-and-out on the game s first possession, the Giants set the tempo of the game, always staying one step ahead of Kansas City. On their first offensive play WR Tim Carter took an end-around for a 20-yard gain into Kansas City territory. From there New York methodically drove the final 40 yards on the strength of two third-down conversions, including the a five-yard TD pass from QB Eli Manning to WR Amani Toomer on third-and-goal. That scoring pass gave the Giants a 7-0 lead with 8:46 left in the first quarter. Kansas City s first-team offense advanced the ball into New York territory at the Giants 32-yard line on the ensuing possession, but back-to-back penalties stalled the drive near midfield. The clubs exchanged punts on the next two possessions before the Giants shook things up again. Taking over at their own 48-yard line, New York came out in a no-huddle offense. Manning went four-for-four on the drive and RB Brandon Jacobs did the rest, plowing into the end zone from one yard out on third-and-goal. That score capped an eight-play, 52- yard scoring march and gave the Giants a 14-0 lead. QB Damon Huard entered the lineup for the Chiefs third drive, marking his first game action of the preseason. After converting one first down, Chiefs P Dustin Colquitt was forced into action for his fourth punt of the evening. The second-year punter was one of the bright spots for Kansas City punting nine times averaging 49.9 yards per punt. Chiefs rookie S Bernard Pollard appeared to make the first big play of the night for the visitors when he forced a Jacobs fumble, then recovered it at the Giants 37-yard line. However New York challenged the call and the ruling was overturned. The N.Y. Giants would up their lead to 17-0 after K Jay Feely connected on a 31-yard FG on the final play of the third quarter. That would conclude the scoring as the Giants cruised to the preseason victory. GIANTS Toomer, 5-yard pass from Manning (Feely kick) (9-60, 4:06). GIANTS Jacobs, 1-yard run (Feely kick) (8-52, 3:26).
