KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (2-0) AT DENVER BRONCOS (1-1)

Transcription

1 THE MATCH-UP A pair of division rivals will meet on the national stage of Monday Night Football in a key early-season AFC West match-up as Kansas City visits Denver s INVESCO Field. Monday s contest marks the second straight night road game for the 2-0 Chiefs, who are coming off a win on Sunday night at Oakland (9/18). That victory featured yet another solid effort from the Chiefs retooled defense, which has permitted just 12.0 ppg in the club s first two contests. The Broncos are 1-1 after getting a home victory vs. San Diego (9/18) thanks to a 41-yard K Jason Elam FG with just 0:05 remaining. The Chiefs are one of four AFC clubs that currently own 2-0 records. Kansas City is seeking to inaugurate a season with three consecutive victories for just the seventh time in franchise history. The Chiefs most recent 3-0 start came in 2003 when the club opened the year 9-0 en route to a 13-3 campaign. KC went 13-3 and won the AFC West after a 3-0 start in 95, as well. The club also claimed a pair of AFL titles after opening the year with three straight wins in 62 and 66. Kansas City has won four of its last five primetime road games with the only blemish on that mark coming in the form of a setback on Sunday Night Football at Denver (9/12/04). Meanwhile, the Broncos are attempting to snap a two-game losing streak in Monday night competition. The home team has won seven of the last eight games in the Chiefs-Broncos series dating back to However, the spotlight of Monday Night Football may be just what KC needs to register its first win in Denver since While only Denver (63-18) owns a better regular season home record than Kansas City (59-22) among AFC teams since 95, the Chiefs have won three straight road games on Monday nights, including a pair of such MNF games in But no matter the day or the location, Chiefs-Broncos contests always seem to come down to the wire. In fact, 25 of the last 30 outings in this series have been won by the squad scoring last. The schedule doesn t get any easier for the Chiefs who face a home date against Philadelphia (10/2). Up next for Denver is a trip to Jacksonville (10/2).

The Chiefs have won seven of the last 12 regular season meetings between the two clubs, but Kansas City is still seeking its initial victory at INVESCO Field and is attempting to end a four-game losing streak at Denver. However, the last time the Chiefs snapped a significant losing streak at Denver, it came on Monday Night Football when QB Joe Montana orchestrated a win (10/17/94) to break an 11-game string of Kansas City losses at Mile High Stadium. The two teams split their series last year with KC getting a win at Arrowhead (12/19/04), while the Broncos claimed a decision at INVESCO Field on Opening Day (9/12/04). KC s last road victories against the Broncos came in 99 and 2000 when Gunther Cunningham was serving as the Chiefs head coach. Cunningham posted a perfect 4-0 regular season record vs. Denver as KC s head coach and returned to the Chiefs as defensive coordinator in The Texans/Chiefs won 25 of the first 27 games in this series between these two original American Football League teams. Denver then responded by claiming wins in 26 of the next 37 contests. The Chiefs first-ever regular season game after the franchise relocated to Kansas City in 63 was a 59-7 win at University of Denver Stadium (9/7/63). The Broncos produced a victory in the only postseason meeting between the two teams, a 97 AFC Divisional Playoff Game at Arrowhead (1/4/98).

He is one of just four coaches in NFL history to lead two different teams to the Super Bowl and has twice been named NFL Coach of the Year. The Calistoga, California native began his NFL coaching career with the L.A. Rams ( 69, 71-73) serving as the team s special teams, RBs, and QBs coach and offensive coordinator. During his tenure as head coach in Philadelphia ( 76-82), he compiled a record. In 78, Vermeil guided the Eagles to their first playoff appearance in 12 years. He then led the 80 Eagles to a 12-4 record to earn a trip to Super Bowl XV. Vermeil returned to the sidelines as the head coach of St. Louis for three seasons ( 97-99), guiding the Rams to a 13-3 record in 99, concluding the year with a win in Super Bowl XXXIV. A standout quarterback at San Jose State, Vermeil served as an assistant at Stanford ( 65-68) and UCLA ( 70) before taking over the head coaching duties for the Bruins from In 75, he led UCLA to a victory over #1 ranked Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. VERMEIL VS. THE BRONCOS (4-6) Dick Vermeil s teams are 4-6 vs. Denver (1-0 w/phi, 0-1 w/stl, 3-5 w/kc) with the home team winning nine of those 10 games. DATE RESULT OPP.

A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame s Class of 2003, Stram served as the franchise s head coach from , compiling a regular season record and a 5-3 playoff mark. He guided the club to three AFL titles and a win in Super Bowl IV. His many contributions to the game include the two-tight end offense, the stack defense and the moving pocket. Perhaps the most fitting compliment paid to Stram came courtesy of QB Len Dawson at Stram s HOF enshrinement in I wear a Super Bowl ring on one hand and a Hall of Fame ring on the other, Dawson remarked. I know I wouldn t have had either one if it hadn t been for this guy Hank Stram. Stram s biggest win against Denver was a 59-7 victory at Denver (9/7/63), a contest that stills stands as the highest-scoring game in KC history. That win also marked the initial regular season victory for the Kansas City Chiefs. The team played its first three seasons in Dallas and was known as the Texans ( 60-62). Stram also owned a stellar record on Monday Night Football as Kansas City s head coach, posting a 6-1 (.857) record in such games, including wins in his first four MNF contests. In fact, among coaches with at least five MNF appearances, only John Madden (11-1-1,.885) owns a better winning percentage in Monday night play. Stram s first MNF outing came in just the second-ever telecast of ABC s primetime pigskin showcase, as the Chiefs won a decision at Baltimore (9/28/70). Stram s final MNF appearance as KC s head coach was a win at Denver (11/18/74). Mike Shanahan was named the 11th head coach in Broncos history on January 31, 1995, after spending three seasons ( 92-94) as San Francisco s offensive coordinator. Just the fifth coach in NFL history to lead his club to back-to-back Super Bowl titles, Shanahan owns six Super Bowl appearances as a head coach or NFL assistant - five with Denver, including XXXII and XXXIII titles and a win with the 49ers in SB XXIX. Born in Oak Park, Illinois on August 24, 1952, Shanahan began his coaching career at Oklahoma in 75, before stints at Northern Arizona, Eastern Illinois, Minnesota and Florida. He entered the pro ranks as the Broncos receivers coach in 84 before assuming duties as Denver s offensive coordinator from Shanahan served as head coach of the L.A. Raiders for the 88 season, plus the first four games of the 89 season, compiling an 8-12 regular season mark. A former wishbone QB at Eastern Illinois, Shanahan s playing career was halted when he lost a kidney during the spring of his junior year. Shanahan s (.630) regular season mark and 7-4 (.636) postseason record both rank as the top winning percentages in Denver history. MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL ROAD WARRIORS The Chiefs have won their last three Monday Night Football road games dating back to a win at Oakland (10/20/03). That threegame road MNF winning streak ties as the longest such string in franchise history. KC won it s first three road MNF contests from KC s three-game road winning streak on MNF ties with Dallas for the NFL s second-longest active streak. Green Bay owns that mark with five straight road MNF victories dating back to The longest all-time road winning streak on MNF is eight games, established by Oakland from Here s a look at the Chiefs last three Monday road games.

ELWAY The Chiefs are 3-2 all-time in Monday Night Football play vs. the Broncos, including a 2-1 mark at Denver. KC s last MNF visit to Denver resulted in a comeback victory (10/17/94) and was later selected as one of the top five games in MNF history in a 2002 fan vote. QBs Joe Montana and John Elway waged an epic duel as Kansas City forged a lead with 4:08 remaining in the fourth quarter. However, Elway responded by scoring on a four-yard quarterback draw to put the Broncos back ahead with 1:29 left to play. That set the stage for a classic Montana comeback as he led the Chiefs on a nineplay, 75-yard scoring march. The ever-cool QB found WR Willie Davis on the right boundary. Davis stretched out to make a finger-tip grab and tiptoed inside the front pylon just before his momentum could carry him out of bounds, giving Kansas City a lead with just 0:08 remaining to snap the Chiefs 11-game losing streak at Mile High Stadium.

4 Chiefs Seek to Snap Their Losing Streak in Denver with a Potent Rushing Attack by Pete Moris Chiefs-Broncos Scoring Stats to Consider Dating back to the start of the 2002 season, no team has produced more 30-point games than the Chiefs (23). In fact, Kansas City owns a stellar 15-2 record when scoring 30 points or more dating back to 49-0 win vs. Arizona (12/1/02). The Broncos have lost 10 of their last 11 outings when giving up 30 points or more, including a string of seven consecutive losses. In total, Denver is 7-21 (.250) under Mike Shanahan when permitting 30+ points. However, 30-point contests have been rare for opponents at INVESCO Field. It s something that s happened only three times, most recently in a victory by Atlanta at Denver (10/31/04). KC s only 30- point performance at Denver during the Shanahan era came in a Broncos victory at Mile High Stadium (12/6/98). Denver has won seven straight September home games dating back to 2002 and hasn t allowed an opponent to produce a 30-point game at home during the season s first month since Miami registered a win at Mile High Stadium (9/13/99). Holding opponents to 21 points or less is always a target for the Chiefs defense. KC has won 16 consecutive games when holding opponents to 21 points or less dating back to a win vs. Buffalo (11/17/02). That ranks as the fourth-longest active streak in the NFL. Denver is 9-12 (.429) at home when being held to 21 points or less dating back to 95, something the Chiefs defense has accomplished four times over that span, by far the highest total of any NFL team. KC most recently accomplished that feat in a win at Denver (12/5/99). Denver has lost just four home contests dating back to The Broncos were held to 14 points or less in three of those four outings. Of course, holding the Broncos under the 21-point barrier is no guarantee of victory. Denver got its first win of the season last week by a count vs. San Diego (9/18). KC s Rushing Defense vs. Denver s Rushing Offense Stopping the run will be a key factor for Kansas City s defense this week. In KC s last four victories at Denver dating back to 94, the Chiefs haven t allowed a single Broncos RB to post a 100-yard game. In fact, KC has held Denver to 100 or fewer team rushing yards in three of those four victories. In those four wins at Denver, KC has permitted an average of just rushing yards per game. The Chiefs rushing defense is off to a stellar start this season, ranking fifth in the league by permitting just 64.0 rushing yards per game. The Chiefs have held their first two opponents under 100 team rushing yards and are attempting to accomplish that feat in three straight games for the first time since Of course, slowing down the Denver rushing game is easier said than done. The Broncos have won 10 of their last 12 games when producing an individual 100-yard rusher. Denver has also won four straight home games vs. the Chiefs and have boasted an individual 100-yard back in each of those wins. Over that four-game home winning streak against KC, the Broncos have averaged rushing ypg. KC RUSHING DEFENSE AT DENVER LAST FOUR WINS VS.

Holmes ranks first in KC history with 24 regular season 100-yard rushing games. Meanwhile, Johnson has posted four 100-yard outings in his last seven contests, including a 151-yard, two- TD performance in his most recent meeting with Denver (12/19/04). During KC s three-game road winning streak on MNF, either Holmes or Johnson has posted a 100-yard outing in all three of those victories. The Chiefs have registered at least one rushing TD in 33 of their 36 regular season victories under head coach Dick Vermeil, including each of club s last 17 consecutive victories dating back to 2003, the longest active streak in the league. Johnson has scored a rushing TD in eight straight games, the second-longest streak in KC history behind only Holmes (11). Meanwhile, Holmes has 82 career rushing TDs, a figure that is tied for 12th in NFL history with Pittsburgh RB Jerome Bettis. The Broncos are 8-25 when permitting a 100-yard rusher under Mike Shanahan, but have allowed just one RB to post a 100-yard day at INVESCO Field since it opened in That opponent is Holmes, who has actually done it twice, racking up 161 yards (12/15/02) and 151 yards (9/12/04) on the road against the Broncos. Denver has only allowed seven 100-yard rushers dating back to 2002, owning a 1-6 record in those contests. Last week, the Denver defense held Chargers Pro Bowl RB LaDainian Tomlinson to just 52 yards. QB Comparison KC s Trent Green vs. Denver s Jake Plummer Since coming to KC in 2001, Chiefs QB Trent Green has thrown for 16,540 yards, a total topped only by IND s Peyton Manning (17,531) over that span. Green boasts an 87.8 career rating, the eighth-best mark in NFL history and owns 36 regular season victories in a Chiefs uniform, a tally topped only by HOF QB Len Dawson (94). Despite those gaudy numbers, he is still seeking his initial victory at Denver. In his most recent meeting with the Broncos, a win at Arrowhead (12/19/04), Green completed 16 of 19 passes (84.2%) for 224 yards with three TDs. Denver QB Jake Plummer owns a career 3-4 record as an NFL starter vs. the Chiefs. All three of those wins have come as the home QB, including a pair of wins at INVESCO Field. When Plummer is at his best, his teams typically fare well. Since signing with the Broncos in 2003, Plummer has posted a 12-1 record in games when he throws two or more TDs, including an 8-1 mark at INVESCO Field. Denver has won 15 straight games when its starting QB boasts a rating or better (min. 20 atts.), including 10 straight wins in such games with Plummer at the helm. The Chiefs have an impressive track record when forcing opponents into multi-int games. Dating back to a 49-0 win vs. Arizona (12/1/02) when KC forced Plummer to throw three INTs as the Cardinals QB, the Chiefs are 12-2 in games when they register two or more INTs. Plummer owns a 9-35 record as an NFL starter in games where he s been picked off more than once, including losses in five of his last six such contests.

7 THE LAST GAME Chiefs 23, Raiders 17 September 18, 2005 McAfee Coliseum 62,273 KANSAS CITY OAKLAND The Chiefs improved to 2-0 on the young season with a tense win at Oakland. A balanced offensive attack and gamesaving stop from the defense kept Kansas Cityʼs undefeated season alive. With the Chiefs leading with just under 5:00 left, a KC fumble gave Oakland the ball near midfield for one last chance. The Raiders penetrated deep into Kansas City territory, setting up a pivotal fourth-and-six play from the Chiefs 10-yard line. S Sammy Knight then broke up a pass in the end zone that was intended for WR Jerry Porter, sealing the victory. The Chiefs got the first break of the game when they recovered a muffed punt return at the Raiders 17-yard line. RB Priest Holmes converted a pair of fourth-down conversions including a touchdown dive on fourth-and-goal from the one-inch line to give the Chiefs a quick 7-0 lead. Late in the first quarter S Chris Carrʼs 34-yard punt return set the Raiders up in Chiefs territory. After an 18-yard pass to WR Randy Moss, RB LaMont Jordan punched in a one-yard TD run to knot the score at 7-7 on the first play of the second quarter. Kansas City fired right back with a 49-yard QB Trent Greento-WR Samie Parker pass, then a six-yard TD run from RB Larry Johnson to grab a 14-7 lead. The Chiefs caught another break when the Raiders had a TD called back on the next possession when Moss was flagged for offensive pass interference. The Chiefs defense then forced a 29-yard field goal, preserving the lead at K Lawrence Tynes added a 31-yard field goal for a lead at the break. The Raiders came out throwing in the second half. After the two clubs exchanged failed field goal tries, Collins found Moss on an impressive game-tying 64-yard touchdown. Like they had done all game, the Chiefs answered a Raiders score with one of their own. Taking over at their own 26-yard line, KC pounded out a 15-play drive that ate 9:18 off the clock. They converted two third downs and got as deep as the Oakland nine-yard line before settling for a Tynes 39-yard field goal on the final play of the third quarter to regain the lead at Oakland went three-and-out, but again the Chiefs could only cash in with a three-pointer. Another long drive this one covering 11 plays and 4:38 ended with a Tynes 42-yard field goal, keeping the Raiders within one score at After another Raiders punt, the Chiefs were looking to kill the clock and ice the game. Instead, a Parker fumble after a 23-yard completion handed the ball back to the Silver and Black with 4:52 left. The Kansas City defense took it from there, preserving the win with one final stand. GAME NOTES The Chiefs extended their winning streak over the Raiders to five games against the Raiders, the club s longest streak against Oakland since RB Larry Johnson extended his streak of games with a rushing TD to eight consecutive games, the second-longest string in KC history.

12 THE LAST TIME Chiefs 45, Broncos 17 December 19, 2004 Arrowhead Stadium 77,702 DENVER KANSAS CITY WR Dante Hall set the tone with a 97-yard kickoff return TD on the gameʼs opening kickoff, while RB Larry Johnson racked up a career-high 151 rushing yards and QB Trent Green turned in another nearly-flawless performance as Kansas City registered a decisive win vs. Denver. Defensively, the Chiefs forced three turnovers and compiled a season-high 6.0 sacks against Denver as KC produced its largest margin of victory over the Broncos since getting a win (12/18/83). After Hallʼs return, KC went up 14-0 on a five-yard TD run by Johnson, who accounted for 45 yards on an 11-play, 87-yard drive. Denver answered with a 22-yard TD catch by WR Rod Smith to make it 14-7, but that would be as close as the Broncos would get. CB Dexter McCleon registered the first of his two INTs on Denverʼs next possession, setting up a seven-yard TD strike from Green to WR Eddie Kennison. Green, who flirted with a perfect passer rating, completed 16 of 19 passes for 224 yards with three TDs and a rating. Meanwhile, Kennison was on the receiving end of seven passes for 101 yards and two TDs. Johnson got his second TD on a 32-yard burst in the second quarter as KC held a advantage at halftime. After McCleonʼs second INT, WR Samie Parker got his first NFL score on a 48-yard bomb from Green, giving KC a edge. Thanks to an 18-yard touchdown pass to Kennison that capped an epic 10-play, 99-yard drive, the Chiefs lead swelled to early in the fourth quarter. Perhaps the gameʼs most impressive defensive play came when S Greg Wesley chased down RB Tatum Bell, who appeared poised to score after a 58-yard gain on a screen pass. But Wesley poked the ball loose from behind at the five-yard line. The ball bounded out of the end zone for a touchback, thwarting a potential score. A 39-yard FG by Chiefs K Lawrence Tynes and a late four-yard TD run by Broncos RB Garrison Hearst made the final count in favor of the Chiefs. GAME NOTES The Chiefs set a single-season team record with their seventh game with 400 yards or more of total offense, breaking the previous mark of six such games last achieved in With 151 yards rushing from RB Larry Johnson, the Chiefs became the first team in NFL history to have three different players (Priest Holmes, Derrick Blaylock and Johnson) produce a game with 150 or more rushing yards in the same season. WR Dante Hall registered a franchise record with the fifth kickoff return TD of his career. It was also Hall's ninth career special teams TD, giving him the most in Chiefs history. In his first NFL start, Johnson registered his third consecutive 100-yard rushing game, a mark that tied as the second-longest streak in franchise history. Johnson became the first player other than RB Priest Holmes to enjoy such a run since RB Christian Okoye produced two separate three-game 100-yard rushing streaks in ʼ89.
