Before I wrap this up I have to say a few words about Albert Wilson. There may not be a bigger critic of Wilson’s play in the Chiefs blogosphere than me. However, he was huge on Sunday. Enough so that I feel like he’s earned a little slack going forward. You still won’t see me joining his fan club any time soon but he absolutely exploded for that touchdown on the fake punt and came up with another huge play on that third down conversion on the game ending drive. Kudos Albert, well played sir.
Finally, this win sets up arguably the biggest division game in the AFC West in a long time. The 10-2 Raiders now come to Arrowhead on Thursday night to face the 9-3 Chiefs. With KC already having a win in Oakland another win would essentially put them a game up on Oakland despite the fact that their records would be equal.
On the other hand, if Oakland wins it puts them two up in the win column with only two games to play. It’s not technically a winner take all game, but it isn’t far from it either. The Chiefs are going to need their opportunistic defense and aggressive offense from this Atlanta game to show up again on Thursday night if they want to get another win against a very good Raiders team.
So what do you think Addicts? Do you agree that we finally got good Alex Smith and good Andy Reid in this game? Do you agree that they are going to have to pay to keep Eric Berry in Kansas City? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
As always, thanks for reading and GO CHIEFS!!!!!
