Regular Season:
Week 8 - Vikings @ KC - WIN 21-13

* If we thought Green Bay was a test, having the 5-1 Vikings come to town was an even bigger test at this midway point of the season. Two 5-1 squads meeting on our turf...Love it!

402 total yards of offense (and 63% 3rd down conversions)
Charles 20 carries for 68 yards, Black 6-58 yards and a td
Both Keys and Merriman has great defensive games for us
Cassel 17-24 (122.1 rtg) and 3 tds (only tossing 1 int)

We are 6-1 and rolling! The Chiefs now rank 3rd in the AFC, behind the Ravens and Patriots both with 7-1 records. And of course, the season already eclipses the number of wins we put up last year. Huge home victory with another home game next weekend.

Week 9 - Browns @ KC - WIN 31-3

* The 1-6 Browns could easily have been a problem. They are struggling and after coming off the big win over the Vikes, it might have been easy to look past Cleveland. I am proud of the team because they went to work and really never let the Browns into the game!

Cassel, Player of the Game, 23-35 with 4 tds
Charles had 6 catches for 43 yards
Leoni caught 2 td passes
Wade and Williams also caught td passes
Johnson, Frazier, Cason and Keys each picked one

That victory takes us to 7-1 on the season. Not that I would tell the team, but I am anxious to see if we can live up to our sponsor goal in the agreement we signed prior to last year of 10 victories or a playoff berth. Either way, being 5-0 at home, in front of a crowd that we put through tough times last season feels great!
