2. Chiefs' running backs coach Eric Bieniemy's enthusiasm, passion rubs off on players
By Terez Paylor - The Kansas City Star
"Knile Davis takes sees the alley and accelerates through it. His legs are pumping, he's running hard and, 19 yards later, he's finally knocked out of bounds.
This is Sunday, the second quarter of the Chiefs' game at Denver, and Davis pops up quickly, his enthusiasm obvious. Jamaal Charles is hurt again, which means it is Davis' turn to carry the mail, and he isn't the only one excited about the opportunity." READ MORE…
3. Chiefs' Alex Smith can be more than a 'game manager,' and needs to
By Sam Mellinger - The Kansas City Star
"Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith (11) escaped the tackle attempt of Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (58) in the second quarter on Sept. 14, 2014, at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver. The Chiefs lost 24-17.
Alex Smith usually laughs when he hears it. Sometimes he feigns ignorance. Game manager? What does that even mean?" READ MORE…
4. The road doesn't look so bad to Chiefs
By Adam Teicher - ESPN.com
"Whatever advantage the Kansas City Chiefs might have once had by playing at Arrowhead Stadium is gone. The Chiefs have lost their last four regular-season home games, two by double-digit margins and a third in which they were far less competitive than the final seven-point margin might suggest.
So perhaps it's a good thing for the Chiefs that they are on the road for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. The Chiefs have also lost their last three away from home, including the playoff game against Indianapolis." READ MORE…
5. From 0-2 to playoffs? Not without a fix
By John Parolin - ESPN.com
"The Saints have a better chance of making playoffs at 0-3 than either the Chiefs or Colts at 1-2.
"Winless" is never a good adjective for a team, but being winless through Week 2 doesn't ruin a season. Since 1990, 12 percent of teams to start 0-2 have made the playoffs. " READ MORE…
