Notes:  Ryan Succop got a second chance to test out his new approach to dealing with the swirling wind at Arrowhead Stadium.  Flabbergasted at the way his 39-yard attempt in overtime hooked left, Kansas City's place kicker took a different aim when given another opportunity to win the game.  This time, he sent the ball through the uprights from 35 yards, lifting the Chiefs to a 13-10 victory over Buffalo as time expired in a wild overtime on Sunday.

 

Rian Lindell kicked what would have been a 53-yard game-winner earlier in the overtime. But the kick was nullified because the Chiefs (5-2) had called time out. His second try was a wobbler in the wind that struck the right upright and gave Kansas City another chance.

 

The victory kept the Chiefs comfortably atop the AFC West and made sure the Bills (0-7), with their second straight overtime loss, would remain the league's only winless team.

 

The Chiefs, the NFL's No. 1 rushing offense, ran for 274 yards against Buffalo's league-worst rushing defense, with Jamaal Charles piling up 177 yards on 22 carries. He also had 61 yards on four catches, including a 16-yard catch to start the winning 53-yard drive.

 

Thomas Jones had 77 yards on 19 carries as the Chiefs went over 200 yards three games in a row for the first time since 1978.

 

Thomas Jones became the first player in NFL history to rush for 500 yards for five different teams.
