Notes:  The Chiefs defense actually outperforms the offense in this visit to the Valley of the Sun.  Arizona turns up the intensity of their running game, giving Jake the Snake room to throw the ball.  The Chiefs are rebuilding in this first year of Dick Vermeil’s reign, and they show flashes of their future strength.  Trent Green leads a comeback drive equal to any by Elway or Montana, but is stopped by an end zone INT with two seconds left on the clock.  The Cards get their first 15-point lead in 42 games.

Thanks Sean!
