Dolphins defensive end Mario Williams left the game in the second half to be evaluated for a concussion. The Chiefs drove 56 yards in two minutes to score a touchdown that made it 27-17. Smith finished it with his keeper on third-and-goal from the 2-yard line as the Chiefs flooded off their bench to celebrate. He was sacked once for no yards and didn’t turn it over.

The Chiefs have looked to Smith numerous times during three seasons as their quarterback for that late-game spark. “But it isn’t over, it’s just the beginning”.
The 24-year-old receiver was off to an excellent start in Week 1, with six catches for 63 yards in the first half against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs will need to see that resurgence continue as they head into week two versus the Houston Texans. And ultimately, their ability to rally in the fourth quarter showed just how potent they can be once things start clicking. The Chargers completed a 12-yard pass to make it first down at their own 37-yard line.

Running back Charcandrick West joked that he nearly rolled his ankle trying to celebrate with his “fired up” quarterback, while receiver Albert Wilson ran up to him on the sideline while Smith’s game-winning touchdown run was being reviewed on the field and shared a moment. Ware and fellow back Charcandrick West both saw the same amount of snaps on the field Sunday (34), but Ware was featured significantly more in the game plan.
Delvin Breaux, Saints: The New Orleans Saints cornerback got hurt in the first half, tried to play through it and ended up being carted to the locker room. The extra point was partially blocked by Miami’s Jason Jones, but it didn’t matter. What surprised most people who watched this game was their offensive struggles. the fact that team was having problems finding the end zone until the second half is something people didn’t expect to see out of the Kansas City Chiefs.
I looked several times at the sidelines when Sunday’s choke job was going down.
There were two major breakdowns in the kicking game. If that’s the case, he’ll miss the remainder of the season – and send his fantasy football owners scrambling to find the best waiver wire pickups for Week 2.
Matt Prater’s 43-yard field goal with four seconds remaining, and then a safety on the ensuing kickoff, gave the Detroit Lions a wild 39-35 victory against the Indianapolis Colts.
