Vikings at Chiefs - Week 3 - Record: 1-2

The Never-Say-Die Chiefs get their first win with a gritty determination they introduced in the second half of last week's game.

This one opened with Adrian Peterson running all over us for a quick touchdown. From that point on we made the adjustments to calm him down a bit and effectively stuff the Minnesota offense.

Still, our offense was lethargic until Huard exploded in the fourth quarter. What a performance. There was that one series there when they'd alternate: pass-Johnson-pass-Johnson, and every run was small loss and every pass was a big gain. He deserves the kudos, that's just Huard being a big-time QB.

He also got help from his two big-time receivers, the vet Tony Gonzalez and the newbie Dwayne Bowe. First, Gonzalez: How many times does Herm have to see him play as great as he did today and refuse to use him as much as he should? Second, Bowe: The kid is stud out there. How great it is that he's being used so effectively just three games into his career.

And the defense. Just a killer day for them.

What a fun comeback win for a team that, I believe, still has a lot to prove. But then I think, hmm, could this AFC West be so weak that we'd actually have a shot? The Chargers are 1-2 now. Den and Oak still play this afternoon, but the Broncos had to eek out their wins, and Oakland is 0-2.

Yeah, it's way too early, and today we still only got a single touchdown on the day. It is very nice to see the coaching staff work so well with what they got. Let's hope they can keep it going.

They've certainly got the perseverence factor going great for them.
