Chiefs Upset Bolts!

What a win! My first thought is that this win needs to be about respect. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Our Kansas City Chiefs went to Qualcomm and outplayed the Chargers. The media spin will surely be that Norv Turner lost this game, but that’s not the case. The Chiefs defense stifled the Bolts offense, and the unit really turned up its play another notch in the second half. Meanwhile, the Chiefs offense finally got into a groove in the second half. In fact, the Chargers looked like the 12.5-point underdogs out there, not the Chiefs.

The pundits need to stop describing our defense as merely good. We have one of the best defenses in the league, hands down. It’s time for the rest of the NFL to take notice.

And if one more fantasy guru describes Dwayne Bowe as an OK No. 3 wide receiver, I’m going to lose it. D-Bo has quickly become a bonafide NFL No. 1 receiver. Eight catches, 164 yards and a touchdown? The kid just keeps getting better, doesn’t he? The sky is truly the limit.

Speaking of improved play, what about Derrick Johnson. I honestly believe that D.J. is our defense’s most valuable player. Still, while D.J. might be the most important player on our defense, Jared Allen is the heart and soul of the unit. The fact that we were 0-2 without Jared, and are now 2-0 with him, that says an awful lot.

Much more to come on the game, but for now enjoy the rest of your Sunday and your AFC West first-place Chiefs!
