Kansas City Chiefs News

One LT led San Diego's comeback. Another LT thwarted it. Lawrence Tynes hit a career-long 53-yard field goal with six seconds left, atoning for a first-quarter miss and giving the Kansas City Chiefs a 30-27 victory over the Chargers on Sunday. LaDainian Tomlinson figured in two fourth-quarter TD throws, one as the receiver and one as the passer, as the Chargers (4-2) came back from an early 17-point deficit to ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger couldn't have played any worse for a month. The NFL now must be wondering how much better the Super Bowl champions can be after a convincing all-is-well performance. The Steelers revived everything they displayed in winning the championship as Roethlisberger threw his first two touchdown passes since the AFC championship game in a 45-7 rout of the Chiefs on Sunday. Despite not starting three ...

Larry Johnson gave the Kansas City Chiefs quite a scare. The Pro Bowl running back was injured on a facemask tackle at the end of a 78-yard pass play late in Kansas City's 23-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Johnson broke free down the left sideline after catching a short pass from Damon Huard. The Cardinals' Antrel Rolle grabbed Johnson by the facemask and the running back's head ...

Matt Leinart's first NFL game as a starter Sunday had a great beginning, a so-so middle and a nearly fantastic finish. The Kansas City Chiefs have Larry Johnson, though, and his big play made the difference. Johnson rumbled 78 yards on a pass play from Damon Huard to set up Lawrence Tyne's 19-yard field goal with 1:36 to play and the Chiefs rallied from 10 down in the fourth quarter to beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-20. Leinart could hardly ...

Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl running back Larry Johnson was injured on a facemask tackle at the end of a 78-yard pass play late in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Johnson broke free down the left sideline after the short pass. The Cardinals' Antrel Rolle grabbed Johnson by the facemask and the running back's head was twisted as he fell out of bounds at the Arizona 8. He lay motionless for a moment, but eventually got ...

Trent Green was cleared to drive this week, so he joined his Chiefs teammates on the sideline Sunday. Out on the field, Damon Huard was obviously happy to have him riding shotgun. Getting advice and encouragement from Green and even suggestions on which plays to run, Huard and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs played almost flawlessly in a surprising 41-0 rout of San Francisco (1-3). ``Trent's the best,'' said Huard, a journeyman who'd hardly done anything but ...

If Damon Huard keeps playing this well, the Kansas City Chiefs won't have a quarterback crisis while waiting for Trent Green to get back _ they'll have a quarterback controversy once he does. Huard played almost flawlessly in a 41-0 rout of San Francisco on Sunday, hitting 13 of his first 15 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns while Kansas City seized a 24-0 half-time lead en route to ...

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen has been charged with driving under the influence for the second time in five months. Police pulled Allen over around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday after following a Dodge Charger that was not staying in the lane, Leawood Police Capt. Dale Finger said Friday. Allen, who was alone in the car, refused to undergo sobriety testing and to take a breathalyzer test, so the officer ...

Chiefs left tackle Kyle Turley didn't practise again Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against San Francisco. Turley, a former Pro Bowler, is attempting a comeback after a two-year absence following back surgery. He sat out practice all week with what was described as a sore back. If he can't play, he will be replaced by Jordan Black, who struggled last year while subbing at left tackle for the ...

Kansas City quarterback Trent Green says the severe concussion that left him unconscious on Sept. 10 will keep him sidelined at least two more weeks. Speaking with Kansas City reporters for the first time since the head-snapping hit in the season opener, the two-time Pro Bowler said Thursday that he's feeling much better and finally able to drive a car. He may even join the Chiefs on the sideline Sunday ...
