Notes:  Kansas City’s opening drive ends in a punt as QB Steve Fuller is unable to get anything going.  After the punt St. Louis QB Neil Lomax drives the Cardinals to within field goal range and K Neil O’Donoghue puts 3 points on the board.

 

In the second quarter S Gary Barbaro picks off a deep pass by Lomax and the Chiefs go on offense.  The drive stalls after DT Mike Dawson sacks Fuller and Lowery ties the game with a 43-yard field goal.  With less than a minute to play, Fuller fumbles the snap and St. Louis DE Curtis Greer falls on it to give his Cardinals possession at the KC 35.  The Cards cannot convert third down, however, and O’Donoghue kicks a 44-yard field goal.

 

The Cardinals start the third quarter slinging the ball, but after moving all the way to the KC 8, RB Ottis Anderson fumbles and S Deron Cherry recovers the ball at the 3-yard line.  Bill Kenney is under center for Kansas City’s drive and finds success by giving the ball to RB Ted McKnight.  A QB sneak and a 37-yard completion to Carlos Carson highlight the drive that stalls at the STL 43.  St’ Louis gets the ball back but they have to punt also, ending the third quarter.

 

The first play of the fourth quarter is a Kenny-to-Carson 63-yard touchdown pass that puts the Chiefs up 10-6.  QB Jim Hart comes in for St. Louis but can’t spark a comeback as KC’s defense stiffens, and the Chiefs take home the Governor’s Cup.

 

KC’s quarterbacks are sacked twice in the game, bringing the preseason total to 21 sacks.  The Chiefs sack St. Louis quarterbacks 7 times.  The Cardinals are flagged for 13 penalties.

 

Thanks George!
