BRONCOS ...44 CHIEFS ...13 Kyle Orton threw two touchdown passes and Denver used a punishing running game to manhandle Kansas City. The Broncos had 245 yards rushing to turn the 99th meeting between AFL originals into a laugher. Correll Buckhalter ran for 113 yards and Knowshon Moreno had two touchdown runs to help Denver stay within reach of San Diego in the AFC West. The Chiefs didn't put up much of a fight on the day they retired Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas' number. Kansas City gave up 17 plays of 10 yards or more and has allowed 40 points in consecutive games for the first time since 1983. Matt Cassel had a 14.6 quarterback rating before being pulled for Brodie Croyle and the Chiefs finished with only 222 total yards. ...more

The Jaguars, up and down all season, responded in similar fashion following losses to Arizona and Seattle earlier this season. The latest turnaround after a defeat came after Coach Jack Del Rio ripped his team's defensive effort in a 30-13 loss at the Titans, calling it "insulting, ugly and embarrassing." It worked, at least against Kansas City. Playing without RB Larry Johnson, the Chiefs managed little offense until late in the fourth quarter when Matt Cassel threw for two scores. ...more

CHARGERS ...37 CHIEFS ...7 Philip Rivers threw three touchdowns passes and LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for 71 yards. Rivers was 18 of 30 for 268 yards and three TDs as the Chargers won their third in a row in Kansas City for the first time since 1981. The Chiefs were unable to build on last week's sloppy win against Washington. They fell behind 20-0 in the first half, Matt Cassel threw three interceptions and the Chargers scored their final touchdown when Jacob Hester blocked a punt at the 20, chased the ball into the end zone and fell on it. ...more
