Notes:  In Kansas City’s first win under head coach Gunther Cunningham, the Chiefs dominate the reigning Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos.  Both offenses sputter though the first quarter, but Denver gets on the board first with a 50-yard Jason Elam field goal.  The Broncos are moving the ball again when S Jerome Woods intercepts Brian Griese, and the Chiefs turn it into three points.  KC forces a Denver punt on the next series, and with 1:14 remaining in the half they move downfield and put up another field goal as time expires.

 

In the second half, Chris Dishman pounces on a Terrell Davis fumble during Denver’s opening drive, then QB Elvis Grbac hits WR Derrick Alexander on a 54-yard pass play.  Four plays later, T-Rich carries the ball into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.  When Denver gets the ball back, LB Derrick Thomas knocks it out of Griese’s hand and recovers the fumble.  The Chiefs pull another three points out of the turnover for a 16-3 lead.  DT Trevor Pryce picks off Grbac on the KC 34-yard line as Grbac is hit and Denver capitalizes by putting RB Terrell Davis in the end zone.  The Chiefs stay ahead by running 9-play, 66-yard drive that culminates in a Bam Morris touchdown run from the 5-yard line.

 

Denver pulls Griese and puts in Bubby Brister in the fourth quarter, but the result is the same.  CB Eric Warfield comes up with an interception and the Chiefs turn it into a field goal, solidifying their win and sending Denver to 0-2 to start the season.

 

Kansas City FB Kimble Anders has his first 100-yard game.  WR Derrick Alexander had a huge game with 6 catches for 117 yards, including two big ones in front of former Chiefs Safety Dale Carter, who signed with the Broncos as a free agent.  An illegal contact call also went against Carter, wiping out a sack on Grbac.  

 

Thanks Steven!
