Now in his 12th National Football League season, Smith is who he is: the quintessential game manager, a guy who doesn’t make many mistakes and takes even fewer risks. The comeback kids who fought to rally against San Diego?

All three possibilities are certainly on the table. The issue on defense seems to be the secondary, as the Jets are allowing 336.5 passing yards per contest. Those desires do not make Reid unique among football head coaches, but it’s always part of the daily mantra around the Chiefs. Both 1-1 teams are looking at the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos respectively with hopes of knocking off the darlings of their divisions.
But what do the Chiefs expect from themselves this week? The Chiefs can not afford to come out flat like they did last week against the Texans.
The Jets are coming into Arrowhead with the most Yards and Points per Drive of any team through Week 2.
Nothing can dress up those numbers. Their game-plan could be the difference maker in this one.
“It comes down to lack of execution”. The most likely explanation is a bit of everything.
“There’s potential for us to be, when we’re hitting on all cylinders, to be really, really good”, Forte said of the offense. I just care about the Jets. This Sunday, Revis should see a sizeable amount of Chiefs wideout Jeremy Maclin. If Mangold can get the best of Poe and open up some holes for Forte, it opens up the rest of the offense.
According to the oddsmakers at BetDSI, the Chiefs are favored at home in this game, as they are getting odds of -3 points against the Jets.
The Chiefs believe they can get there. Against the Bills, and mobile quarterback Tyrod Taylor, last week, the Jets used linebacker Darron Lee as a spy. Alex Smith needs 28 completions to become fourth Chiefs QB with 1,000.
“I was walking out after the game”, he said. I think that continues into this week. “That’s not what the media sees so some of it’s a little overblown”. The Jets vs Chiefs game is easily one to watch this weekend. In 20 regular and postseason games in his short career, Peters has 11 interceptions. “I want him to get old”. That’s the pros and cons of being an emotional player. He has 15 TDs in last 18 games.
“I wish I could curse right now”, Marshall said calmly. “That’s how they do it and they’ve got good talent”.
“But no matter how loud you crank that noise up”, Fitzpatrick said. “I’m just a fan”.
Sutton also says Peters needs to play with more consistency. “It’s definitely a big challenge for us”. In game No. 50 they gave it up three times. He hit career-best 53-yarder.
Ryan Fitzpatrick isn’t known as a quarterback that stretches the field. The Chiefs lost more yards than we gained.
Special teams coordinator Brant Boyer raved about Hill, whom he scouted coming out of college.
“We knew it was 54 yards when he kicked it”, Toub said. Ware has been a highlight for the club thus far and showed last week he can still do well against a hard defense.

Then two AFL teams silenced that argument forever.
