Notes:  The Chiefs start with a heavy dose of Okoye, but it is unproductive at first.  The KC defense forces a fumble and the resulting field goal puts the Chiefs ahead.  QB Boomer Esiason, playing with an injured ankle, throws an interception that leads to a KC TD.  The Chiefs come out swinging in the third quarter, but Jaws can’t get his team into the end zone.  Cincinnati goes ahead in the 4^th quarter on a highly questionable TD scored when Leon White appears to rip the ball from Okoye’s grasp, avoid getting his feet out of bounds, and runs it in.  The Chiefs turnover margin slips deeper into the negative for a second straight week, with Jaworski throwing 4 interceptions.  The win is Cincinnati’s first at Arrowhead since 1980.

Thanks Tim!
