KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Tony Gonzalez set the NFL record for touchdown catches by a tight end and the Chiefs rolled up an impressive - for them - 354 total yards in their 27-20 win against the Bengals (1-4).

The first sign that things would improve on offense for the Chiefs (3-3) came on their first play from scrimmage. Frustrated Pro Bowler Larry Johnson gained 9 yards, just one short of the team's entire embarrassing rushing total the week before.

Gonzalez, the eight-time Pro Bowler, caught Damon Huard's 3-yard pass in the first quarter and broke Shannon Sharpe's NFL record of 62 touchdown catches for tight ends. Then Gonzalez snared a 26-yard scoring pass from Huard in the fourth period and wound up with 102 yards receiving.

KC-FG Rayner 32, 9:39.
