Jeremy Maclin is probable, but given the situation...I'm not risking him with an injury rating of 71. He remains on the bench for one more week.
First possession Alex throws an incredibly stupid, underthrown pass into double coverage and MegaDrop turns it into a TD. Go figure!
Now I want you to meet Thad Lewis. The first sign that he wasn't a good QB was the fact he faces the wrong way at the end of his drops.
Even so, he can still take advantage of Marcus Peters. Albert Wilson, part of the trade for Garrett Grayson, returns to face his old team and...welp.
Fortunately, Thad Lewis is so, so bad. The Saints don't score at all in the first half because he constantly ignores wide open receivers in favor of offensive linemen.
Here's Thad ignoring another wide open receiver while new Chief Cortland Finnegan sacks him.
Open Willie Snead? Time to run headlong into Zach Brown!
Thad is a running QB. Sometimes he runs himself right into sacks.
Don't worry though, Albert Wilson might as well be Jerry Rice with Peters out there.
Oh, Thad. Cortland Finnegan was on his couch a week ago.
Open receiver? That would rather attempt to truck stick Justin Houston.
The Chiefs are up 14-0 at the half and basically just running clock while the lead extends to 28-3. The Saints finally score a TD when ex-Chief De'Anthony Thomas returns a kickoff for a TD.
Then, with 48 seconds to go Thad Lewis actually finds someone for a TD of his own! How embarrassing for the Chiefs.
As the game ends, hell freezes over.
Game ball: Cortland Finnegan for getting a sack, pick and pass defensed in his first game. He's like, the second best DB on the team already.
The Chiefs are 6-4 and have a showdown with the Raiders for first place in the AFC West. Can they stop Latavius Murray this time? STAY TUNED!
