Broncos at Chiefs - Week 4 - Record: 1-3

The Chiefs finally pick up a win! And a convincing win at that! This putrid 12-game winless streak is history!

It was clear today that when you have a team with three extraordinary players at specialty offense positions, there is no way you can't win at least some ball games no matter how weak your offensive line is. These three guys were able to pull Broncos off that line, speading their defense thinner allowing us to get the yards and scores we needed to win.

Those guys were, of course, Larry Johnson, Tony Gonzalez, and Dwayne Bowe.

Johnson was finally back to the way we've all known him to be: Hitting that hole and churning out huge swaths of yardage. Gonzalez' touchdown grab makes me wonder (yet again--you too, huh?) why on earth we just don't throw the ball anywhere near the guy on every play. And Bowe has seemed to commit himself to using every game this season to atone for his opening day dropsies. That's just fine with Chiefs fans.

It helped that Damon Huard was very good and our defense played like the opportunistic Chiefs of the 90's, snatching four balls from the Broncos. That one in which Derrick Johnson stripped their guy and Brandon Flowers swooped in to take it down the Bronco two was a thing of beauty.

It is heartening to note that we aren't as bad as it looked. We're far from a Super Bowl team, far far from it. We still need linemen and that Super Bowl calibur QB, the analysis of which I'll just have to put off until another Sunday.

As for today, our three studly guys on offense carried the day, and how much fun was that.
