Division Battles


San Diego Chargers 37 Kansas City Chiefs 20

I had such high hopes for the Chiefs going into Sunday’s game against the Chargers; I thought they would be fired up coming off of their first win of the season. Little did I know they would play the worst game that I have personally ever seen a Chiefs team play. They played careless football and the outcome of the game showed it. Six turnovers was the main headline, with Matt Cassel throwing three interceptions and Chiefs running backs fumbling the ball way three times gave Kansas City no chance Sunday. On top of six turnovers the Chiefs also had nine penalties for 90 yards, I am not sure what was going through the Chiefs mind Sunday, but if they want to have any shot at this division title they better turn things around quickly. The final score of the game was 37-20 dropping Kansas City to 1-3 on the season.

San Diego-Even though Kansas City was careless with the ball, the Chargers defensive had to jump on the loose balls and grab interceptions, so I am going to go with the Chargers defense as my players of the game for San Diego.

Kansas City-Dwayne Bowe played well for the Chiefs having seven receptions for 108 yards and one touchdown. He is going to need to keep stepping his game up for this team to have a successful year.

Oakland Raiders 6 Denver Broncos 37

Just like the Chiefs, the Oakland Raiders took quite the beating themselves. Peyton Manning and the Broncos bulldozed all over Oakland on Sunday. Peyton Manning had one of his better games of the year throwing for 338 yards and three touchdowns. Not only was the passing game rolling for Denver but the ground game didn’t do too shabby themselves, Willis McGahee rushed for 112 yards and one touchdown. While the Bronco offense clicking on all cylinders, the defense was superb only allowing two Sebastian Janikowski field goals the whole game and only gave up 237 yards of offense from Oakland. Denver won the game with a final score of 37-6 to push their record to 2-2 on the season. If this team starts to gel and comes together as one, then watch out for Peyton and the Broncos.

Denver-Easy choice here, Peyton Manning shined like the star he is passing like he is still in his prime. The 338 yards passing and three touchdowns just might get him started on an all-star season.

Oakland-The only player that made anything look good for Oakland would be Janikowski’s two field goals. Oakland needs a boost from someone and quick for this team to get their season back on track.

  1. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers! The Chiefs act like this is the first time they've ever stepped onto a football field. Do they not remember their fundamentals?
