The Jets are kinda scary. Good OL, Mark Brunell, Johnny Johnson, the best TE in the league in Johnny Mitchell, front seven is good. This isn't going to be easy.
Fortunately they have one glaring weakness: rookie RT Fred Miller. The Chiefs have a plan for him: DT at left end.
That forces a field goal on the Jets first drive. Supercharged Turbo Terrell Davis gets me inside the Jets 10, and it's third and goal.
Rats! A yard short. 3-3. Defensively, I have a problem: Johnny Johnson is gashing me for chunks.
This is what comes of two linebacker injuries folks. Still, my defense, as usual, holds and it's 6-3. Both teams are consuming massive clock, though. It's late in the second quarter and I decide to go for it on 4th and 2 from the Jets 37.
Big pass, Joe. The Chiefs find themselves on NY's doorstep again, and then an absolute disaster happens. #1, while flipping through my formation subs on the playcall screen, I accidentally switch in Kosar for Montana. #2, well, watch.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Defensive player of the year Ken Norton Jr. tips the ball way from rookie Eric Moulds and rookie Donnie Abraham absolutely ****S me. Would Montana have made a difference here? Would Willie Davis have caught it? One thing is for sure: Keith Cash was wide open in the right flat.
An absolutely huge play. Not to worry, though. The Chiefs get the second half kickoff and go right down the field. Montana is in fine form today.
But once again, it's third down...
NOT THIS TIME, Jets. Supercharged Turbo Terrell Davis shrugs off the tackle and it's 13-10. After only 23 first-half passing yards, though, suddenly Mark Brunell gets going.
Oh, Christ. The #4 defense picks the worst time all year to give up a TD. And Deion gets his ass toasted. Joe Montana is going to need a rocket up his ass to win this one.
The Chiefs mount a drive, but rookie Patrick Jeffers DROPS a touchdown pass (****ed up recording), and they settle for 3. This will prove to be huge, because the Jets tack on an insurance field goal to make it 23-13. With four minutes left, the Chiefs get a quick field goal drive, and then hold the Jets to a 3 and out.
The Chiefs season comes down to this: 1:43 left, one timeout, from their own 4. Does Montana have one last bit of Magic left in his right arm?
