Are the Kansas City Chiefs For Real?

Who had the Kansas City Chiefs starting the season 3-0? The honest answer is nobody. The Chiefs hadn’t won more than four games than each of the last three seasons, but head coach Todd Haley’s team finds themselves perfect in 2010 after week 3. After opening the year with a upset of the San Diego Chargers, the Chiefs outlasted the Cleveland Browns 16-14. This weekend Kansas City flexed their muscles at Arrowhead dismantling the 49ers 31-10. The Chiefs’ defense ranks #2 in the NFL in points allowed and #1 in rushing yards. Derrick O. Johnson, Eric Berry, Brandon Flowers, Tamba Hali, and the rest of the Chiefs defense is simply shutting opponents down. The 49ers were so frustrated on offense that San Francisco head coach Mike Singeltary fired offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye the next day. Kansas City will need running backs Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles to continue to rack up yardage for the Chiefs to continue their win streak. KC heads to Lucas Oil Stadium next week for a clash with Peyton Manning and the Colts. A win against Indianapolis would go a long way in proving the Chiefs’ doubters wrong.
