Regular Season - Week #9

KC @ Chargers - WIN 30-24 (ot)

Wow! Every bit of the expression "nail biter" came into play this week. We went back and forth with the rival Chargers, but essentially the game came down to the last several minutes.

With about 2:30 on the clock and the Chargers marching into scoring territory to put it away, the defense stuffed them on a 4th down gamble. I breathed a sigh of relief ONLY until we then went right through 3 downs of our own and had to punt the ball away! That simply let them up off the carpet and they marched the ball down and scored on us.

However, after the kick-off we were also able to march down the field and K Succop put up a FG with :02 left to send it to overtime.

CB Flowers and CB (FS) Watsha both had ints for a td
QB Cassel 19-28 for 242 yds and 1 td
HB Charles carried 22-46 yds and 1 td

In overtime The Chiefs kicked off and the Chargers moved the ball smartly toward midfield. I was anticipating the heartbreak of a long distance FG for the loss when Chargers QB Rivers threw an out that was intercepted by CB (FS) Watsha, who took it back all the way for the win!

This truly is a team sport and today the defense saved us in the end. We are back winning, with a record of 6-2 on the year.

Another division rival, the 4-4 Raiders coming up in Week #10!
