chiefs report: week 5
the chiefs beat the broncos 24-23 in another thrilling finish. the offense did not distinguish itself, but then again it didn’t need to. the defense didn’t either, but then again, it didn’t need to either. players of the week:
- offensive: TE tony gonzalez; 3 catches, 43 yards, and a touchdown, and holmes: 17 carries for 97 yards.
- defensive: the chiefs’ back seven were busy all day - making tackles and forcing fumbles. with the yards that denver rolled up on offense, this game shouldn’t have been in doubt at the end, but the chiefs have been finding ways to win.
- special teams: hall. for the second straight week, hall has stolen a game for the chiefs that they otherwise might have lost. he stole this particular game by returning a punt 93 yards for a touchdown with just over five minutes to go and the chiefs down by six. the chiefs took the lead and won with the PAT. now, hall has to be your early season mvp candidate: the chiefs might be 3-2 without him, but they are 5-0 with him.
