Notes:  Cassel hit Dwayne Bowe for a 52-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pass, Ryan Succop was perfect on five field-goal attempts and the Chiefs held off the Minnesota Vikings 22-17.  Succop's field goals included a career-long 54-yarder, and his total matched Jan Stenerud and Nick Lowery for the single-game franchise record.

 

Minnesota squandered first-half leads each of its first three games, and this time couldn't hang on after Ryan Longwell's field goal in the third quarter pushed them ahead.
