Bengals at Chiefs - Week 6 - Record: 3-3

The main event of the day was certainly Touchdown Tony's performance, pulling in not one but two TD catches to become the NFL's all-time tight end touchdown guy. Hooray, yay, awright, cheerio, and all the rest of it. I'm not being fully facetious about that, I am thrilled this extraordinary player has been a Chief through his amazing career.

Even though we got a nice win over what should have been a much stronger Bengals team, we still have a lot to work on. Here in the sixth game of the season, we got our first rushing touchdown of the season. 'Scuze me? Our first rushing touchdown of the season? You've got to be kidding me.

I promise I won't mention our woeful offensive line here, but even though LJ got over 100 on the day, much of it was in a few big chunks-- including one nifty 34 yard non-touchdown jaunt. At the one yard line a Bengals defender yanked the ball out of his hands and out of the endzone. Neat. Anyway, that ended up not hurting us, of course, and Johnson may be more ready for such an occurance next time.

The more critical thing was when we needed to run out the clock with a 27-10 lead in the 4th, we kept getting stuffed. That doesn't bode well either.

Our transformer defense did its transformer thing again today, but it can also be said to be the "Give Up the Big Play" defense. Their second TD was simply an incredible pass from Carson Palmer, but the first was just bumbling on our part, just not having the coverage and then refusing to tackle.

As it is, if you can believe it, we're in first place in the AFC West. It is way too early to tell, but is it possible for a team here to win the division with a-- gasp-- 8-8 record? Or even a 7-9 record? That's just heretical.
