The 3-0 Denver Broncos visited the 0-3 Kansas City Chiefs today. Arrowhead Stadium! 78,000 fans. Barbecue! Tailgating! Some of the best fans in the NFL! It was the 143rd consecutive sellout.

I was not there. Sadness fills my heart, but it was on TV in Montana! There’s nothing better than a Chiefs home game. Fans show up early and stay late.

Everyone picked the Broncos to win this one – and win it very easy. I picked em. The Chiefs had lost 12 in a row. They had not had the lead in a game this year.

Chiefs 33, Broncos 19.

There’s life in the Chiefs – at least for one week. Rebuilding is tough, but the Chiefs have some young fellows who in a year or two will make the team better.

Larry Johnson had 198 yards and he was the key player in the game. Tony Gonzalez (the best tight end in football) had a TD (his 68th of his career) and is just a few yards short of Shannon Sharpe’s yardage record for tight ends. Gonzalez has caught at least one pass in 119 straight games.

For at least a week the Chiefs are winners. It’s been a long time. Too bad there’s not a bye week for the Chiefs next week. Victories have been hard to come by and this one needs some savoring.

The Bronco fans have something to look forward to – Kansas City travels to your house in December.
