2010 Chiefs @ Texans

welcome back to Houston the roof is open today 80 degrees perfect weather for football in the Lone Star State Houston has won the toss they've deferred Kansas City will receive Todd Haley in his second year as the head coach he's young he's enthusiastic he's passionate and he's also a tough guy as well his team losing to Indy on the road last week nineteen nine on the other sideline Gary Kubiak a 500 record as the head coach of this franchise the Texans losing to the Giants 34 210 at home the 5th regular season meeting between these two the series is tied at two apiece last time they met 2007 week one Houston winning the game 22 3 Mario Williams had two sacks and a fumble return for a touchdown in that game so Neal Rackers will send it away Javier Arenas at Dexter McCluster are back deep too impressive rookies Texans seats they were underway from R'lyeh and this should be Elias it's i-25 grabs his retort against the 25 where he's tipped up at the 26 23 yard return and Swan holding with the tackle so that brings on Matt Cassel formerly Tom Brady's backup in New England formerly Carson Palmer's backup with the USC Trojans now he's the main man in Casey last week 16 of 29 156 no touchdowns no picks he come he has completed 16 passes in each of his past 3 game 1st down and 10 after 26 McCluster in the backfield they hand it off and then she charged and that's a loss of two on the play offensively let's take a look at the Kansas City rug Gus and left a car you're gonna get bird right tackle Bernard Richardson's going to sperry Richardson's gonna start rhino Callahan still out with a groin injury but he'll be back very soon to get these guys back to full strengthen in the back end look for Dexter McCluster get a little as well wide receiver seems quickly to the line a four yard game for Jamaal Charles let's quickly take a look at the rest of the offense and Dexter McCluster gets his first start at wide out today Chris Chambers is out with an injury to his ring-finger he can't catch the ball so Dexter McCluster the young phenomenon for Mississippi in the game to start the cluster could play running back he could play wide receiver he can run back pots he can run back kicks he is a do-it-all player five 875 third down eight at the 28 they need to go to the 36 for furs Cassie died strike matt cassel fighting dwayne bowe that's a 14-yard game dwayne bowe is gonna be a big issue today these working against as we said texans have really struggled in their secondary to stay with guys and dwayne bowe just running a quick hit or a quick hook rat earn about 12 yards very simple texas defenses got to stay on closer than that 10 catches on the season off with the waynebow he's averaging 17 lags at Wow and this size make the people miss and he gets to midfield Mario Williams with the tackle it's a gain of eight defensively let's take a look at the Houston Texans well up front it starts with Mario Williams he's their biggest guy he's got to help him out in the pastures we set it in the open Gus this front four has got to be better than this with the linebackers only four linebackers active for tip the Texans Brian Cushing may be the best guy in the back end Bernard Pollard led the cutes in 2008 in tackles power is going to want to get violently reacquainted with his old teammates it's the first time they've seen him since he left so Jamal Charles running the football tackle by D'Amico riots and you CQC Steve this Kansas City squad get to the line of scrimmage quickly absolutely as soon as we kind of bounce back and forth between Linus knees plays the Chiefs do not do this much this is New Castle running around he's got the first down that castle sliding down at the 41 and that is a gain of eight yards new offensive coordinator at Kansas City they bring in a veteran of many wars and Charlie Weis yeah and you think to Todd Haley last week they opened up with a surprise onside kick in Indianapolis this week they come out in no huddle they really don't pull any punches Gus they will do anything to get an edge particularly early in games you got to tip your hat to Todd Haley he has got the guts of a cat burger first out of 10:42 those shoulder it gets out of bounds inside the 35 yard line Ryan cushing with the tackle but that's a gain of each and there you have it Gus that's big after all that stuff you get back on your heels watching his Chiefs offense there no huddle they're running naked boots with their quarterback and then a first down run eight yards that's what you get out of it you don't just start handing off dives up the middle that defense doesn't really know what to expect when you can get a nine yard run on first down that sets you up for some success second down and 1 at the 33 Thomas Jones checks it now set the setback Thomas Jones one of the tough guys in the NFL gets inside the 25 picks up eight Eugene Wilson chops him down really talked to Jamaal Charles and he'll tell you Thomas Jones has been a guy that's really taught Jamaal Charles a little bit about what it is Ben Thomas Jones starting out with Chicago going to New York Jets now he's in Kansas City he can teach a young player a lot about what it is to be a pro night playing the drive that started at the Kansas City 26 yard line first down and ten at the 25 Tom's back in the game matt cassel they give it to on the left this time and he gets a couple on the play you know I guess you talked about it then this is what the run game does for the Chiefs are right now pounding it against the Texans and sooner or later you know everybody fears when you get a good run game going you're gonna fake the run and then go deep over the top but I'll tell you what charlie weis why would you fake the run and go over the top and risk it they hand haven't stopped your running game yet you don't go over the top until they start to have success stopping your run until then beat them up second down at seven to the 22 McCluster charles line up here's Counsell throwing it to Charles of the flats and Charles stop by Mario Williams and that is a loss of two on the play Mario Williams not only is he a great pass rusher but he's very good playing the run as well and he stops Charles on this short pass well he's so athletic you see him he's on the ground he gets up comes back and still makes a tackle two yards deep you see there nice block there by Richardson gets him on the ground like he's supposed to so he doesn't back the pass down but he still makes the tackle that is a great player third down and at the 24 they need to get to the 15 for first down the cluster in motion lines up in the backfield here's a drop pass the Texans sleeping he will be about a yard and a half short Kareem Jackson the impressive rookie out of Alabama makes the stop Gus this is Kansas City Chiefs football you're not gonna run the risk of turning it over look at the hole that they've got for him they needed 10 or not but didn't get it and now they come in they're gonna keep their offense on the field Todd Haley like he did a week ago rolling the dice here he early going on fourth and short worked out into Texans crowd getting into it Thomas Jones in the game the top of your screen dazzl Saxon but a flag on the play they're going to get the call Gus Kareem Jackson grabbed the outside shoulder of copper pass interference defense number 25 homogeneous pond rhod winter your referee today Gus I told you last week they went for it on fourth and short in Indianapolis did not get it he does it again I'll tell you what as a player Gus you eke to come through for a coach who gives you that chance you just want to come through and get that place so badly so that brings up a first down at 10 at the 11 yard line open it drop for Kansas City the toss Thomas Joe to the flag prior to the snap just a little bit of a twitch on the offensive line for the Chiefs ball start offense number 65 five-yard penalty remains first down that's Ryan little to the right guard both teams have struggled to the red zone this year Kansas City has scored just three touchdowns in ten ships 30% is fit fewest in the NFL Houston has allowed 13 touchdowns in 16 trips 81% is the second-most in the national football so neither one of these the offense isn't in good in the defense can't stop so they're between a pillow and a soft place is that what you're telling me first down at 1512 plan to drive at the 16 yard line they give it to the deep back and that's tones down the side ride and Thomas Jones stop bike pushing but he picks up eight on the play this run game for the Chiefs is so versatile Gus they give it to the hand it to him why'd they give it to him on Sprint draws they have lead blockers they go and even the quarterback getting into it with a naked bootleg out in the middle of the field it's such a good solid run game and those two running backs and the offensive linemen who are so mobile getting out in front of these guys really puts the pressure on the defense sideline to sideline those two running backs really picking great spots to get to yards second down at seven of the terrific open field tackle that's clover Quinn to keep him from getting into the endzone a 5-yard games and this is a nice pass nice quick release by Cassell and he gets a good block right there from dwayne bowe on the safety and McCluster is one on one and you're right Quinn makes a great tackle down close to bring up the 30 short third down and one at the two Chiefs still with an opportunity to get a first down as they break the huddle Thomas Jones in the backfield double tight end here's Joan looking he needed to get to the one-yard line to meet go Ryan's with pressure he comes up with the tackle and that'll bring up fourth down he didn't get there no he did not and when you go for it on fourth and short when you're already in field goal range and you get it when you get closer and you get another fourth in short I think you automatically go for it in the Chiefs will so our fourth down deep play the drive out of the offset I play action NASA running stop Mike Vrabel check in the game as a receiver how many times do we see him do that when he was in New England a 14-year veteran Gus those guys don't make mistakes he's gonna be in the right spot Castle knows he's going to be there they played together in New England a little bit of history between them and Castle you see it right there you can't miss it great throw easy catch you'll see how these guys get lost right here he's down inside and he's a linebacker with a 50s number you think ok well you got to look inside the helmet it's Mike Vrabel you know he's caught a bunch of them and the extra point is up and good opening drive for Kansas City 15 plays 74 yards they ate up 8 37 and the Chiefs strike first 70 tenth career regular-season touchdown for Mike Grable 12 overall - in the playoffs he had one last season and Kansas City with the 7 to nothing lead on the road here in Houston Matt Cassel showing his legs on that opening drive as he throws the touchdown Massell now with five touchdown passes on the year so Houston ready to get on

their longest drive of the season 74 yards Arian Foster over the right side Kansas City on that opening drive going for it on fourth down twice Brandon Flowers with the tackle there let's meet Matt shop last week against indeed against the Giants excuse me 16 of 34 196 yards no touchdowns he was sacked three times intercepted once in the no touchdown passes Anne's a franchise record of 12 straight games with at least one Foster Nik some three yards on the plate exits off it's rank six the NFL Fitbit rushing let's take a look well Rashad Butler is going to start at left tackle again Fort Wayne brown who's out serving a suspension but he's back next week that will help the pass protection for Matt Schaub and of course the backs and receivers led by Andre Johnson I'll say it Gus he's the best guy in the National Football League everybody knows him everybody watches him everybody wishes he was on their team still playing though Steve with that tender ankle he's had a specially built race on that right ankle he's trying to play through the pain third of 72 23 to get the jolted motion who shot the trouble and he just false it grabs it dives forward picks up a first down at the 31 branded car with the tackle and it's a game seven yards yeah they're gonna mark him just shy of the 30 and of course the drive started on the 20 they've got to get to the line and they're not going to give it to him and the Texans are forced to punt you see there and it's a good spot his knee was down before the ball came down on the ground he was short of the 30 and that forces the Texans to punt it away so Matt Turk comes into pond he's standing at his own 16 yard line back deep Javier Arenas the rookie out of Alabama and the flag throw and the Texans didn't have enough players on the football field if you stood getting out to a sloppy start seven enough in Kansas City all right the new nfl.com mobile apps have arrived no matter where you are you can track scores set fantasy

returned warm at Turk talking about gusts the Texans we mentioned in the open they only have four linebackers active Xavier Adibi Kevin Bentley Sharpton none of those linebackers are active does the core your special teams crew is restored and now coming out of a timeout a timeout Gary Kubiak steam gets a flag thrown on him for delay of game you know you talked about it that the Texans really need to be better at home they have really struggled in the last year or so winning games in their own yard and this is kind of typical of it they they kind of come in act like they didn't expect a game to be played Turk backs up to his own 10 15th season in the NFL and he nails this one Arena spec better starts at the 16 he stopped at the 31-yard lines and put special teams coverage and that'll be called magma 60 yard punt 15 yard return and another flag on the play always has talking things over and that the problem with special teams plays Guses they have the option of tacking it on to the end of the run or making the Murray kick and of course this is going to be against the Chiefs their cuddles already backing up after the play personal foul late hit under 53 the return team there is no foul for running into the kicker the contact is by a kicking team player it's to Mario Williams 7 and often Kansas City Chiefs backing it up a little bit the NFL on CBS is sponsored by State Farm

this Chiefs offense starting out today look at that 15 plays 74 yards I'll take the Texans know our team as you look at this right there they're a team that could only have the ball for 15 or 20 minutes in the game and skill still score 38 points Matt Cassel on is open to drive five of five now six of six first out in 10 years time Jones Jones going forward stop by Ryan's and Shaw Cody again oh cool yeah look back at that last drive of the Chiefs they're the one play the 12 yard pass to Beau was really the one that made the difference everything else was on the ground they didn't throw a couple of swing passes through one commit from a cluster as he gets down close and then of course the touchdown pass to brave oh but that was a grinding out drive not much chance to turn it over when he don't throw it too much second down at six at the 33 times Jones and second set back straight Drive the reception and he gets clobbered Bernard Fowler Nick tackle but it's a seven-yard game Cleveland taken off Pittsburgh today welcome back JB hey Gus thank you so very much good to be back in the saddle again partner we're keeping an eye on Ben Roethlisberger first offensive series completed his first two passes that one to the wrong team rookie Joe Hayden returns 262 yards Cleveland capitalizes the field goal they're up three Gus and Steve by JB here's Thomas Jones trying to get around the corner joint to the 41 two yard gain Antonio Smith with the tackle Thomas Jones bounced around the league labored Arizona 2000 a 2002 Tampa Bay Oh three Chicago Oh four through six gents Oh 709 he's a player five 10th to 12th top top runner everywhere he's been it seems as though the team has gotten the guy they wanted to get that was younger and yet everywhere he goes seems like he rushes for a thousand yards and does nothing but produce they're appreciated under Jamaal Charles in the backfield the class motion he lines up castle throws it a flag on the play yeah they're gonna be an illegal shift the Chiefs Castle got dwayne bowe to move his split out and before boat could move out and stop McCluster was in motion that two guys in motion at the same time and that's a penalty illegal ship offense two men will be prior to the snap did not get reset but penalties declined makes the third down yeah dwayne bowe i think didn't line take the right split see out of the four things he castle is trying to get Dwayne gloat mode to move out past the number see him go by the four time go gets out there now McCluster is in motion before beau gets set that's the penalty so that makes it third and eight at the 42 they need to go to midfield for first down Jamaal Charles in the backfield with castle out of the shotgun McCluster emotion again the handoff hey this is child get there nice pursuit by the Texas defense led by Bernard Pollard and sack dial 3 yard gage scuse me good I'll tell you Gary Kubiak would break out in hives if he tried to run it on third and long but Todd Haley and Charlie Weis they'll do it they'll run the ball put them down deep into their under ill nin and go come back and fight later this is a play that the Chiefs run like no other team running on third and long it's conservative but hey they got a seven-point lead so Dustin Colquitt ranked 23rd in the NFL with the 42.7 average cuts it away - Colby Joan sit this at the fair catch the Cobi Jones had me at the 16 39 yard caught seven and on the Kansas City here comes Matt Schaub and a Texans office you're watching the NFL on CBS Romeo Crennel the former head coach in Cleveland from 2005 to 2008 one of Bill Belichick's trusted assistants now in Kansas City he has his demons playing in a way the same way New England used to play kind of a bin but don't break with that 3/4 well they they're not complicated but I'll tell you what those players play with confidence it makes a difference when you got good players you'll get Glenn Dorsey this is a different front 7 when he's in the game the guy's a great run stuffer that makes everybody around him better than every other phase of the game when he got a tree stump down inside helping you know it just makes everything better Romeo Crennel doesn't ask a lot but he gets what I asked for shout farside Andre Johnson and he goes backward driven down Brandon Flowers for yard game for Andre Johnson and that takes us to the end of the first quarter with the score Kansas City 7 Houston nothing will return to Euston after these messages you're watching the NFL on CBS welcome back to use to check out the new CBS sports.com shop for officially licensed NFL gear and get three day shipping on every order go to shop CBS sports.com guff Johnson Steve Tasker with you there's tot alien you gotta give him a lot of credit for hiring veteran coordinators former head coaches Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis stop by John McGraw that's a 21-yard game while you know that Arian Foster doesn't lead the league in rushing without being able to get through it what well blocked upfront following the offensive line right up through Eric Winston the right tackle pulling around getting up into the hole and sealing it off McGraw having to catch up to foster at 15 yards down the field what a nice play 11 carries 25 yards for foster last week shot underneath and it's Andre Johnson with the reception and he stopped by Derrick Johnson a three yard game but a very interesting stats deep last week the Chiefs defense did not allow Peyton Manning to throw a touchdown pass for only the 25th time in a hundred and ninety seven career starts so that says a whole lot about how they are keeping guys in front of them yeah sometimes it's not pretty sometimes it's not exciting to walk but man are they effective in that front seven and of course in the secondary as a result second down at seven at the 48 and Foster gets the football to the 47 yard line about a six yard gain Donald Washington with the takahata's Arian Foster as you look at Romeo Crennel Steve Hadas area foster played at Tennessee's the league's leading rusher how is he undrafted Atacama well when they get these guys into the draft they measure how tall they are how fast they are how strong they are how much they weigh you can't measure commitment you can't measure the heart of a guy and you can't measure the size of the chip on his shoulder and Arian Foster is a guy that's got all that third down to at the 47 shot short drop to the sideline defense by Brandon Flowers and we talked to Todd Haley yesterday he's so high on this young man third year player out of beat tech he said that he wants to take on the best well he does and you know what the coaching staff and the semi organization really have high hopes for Brandon Flowers and I'll tell you what he's a guy that wants to play against Andre Johnson he wants the opportunity to take the challenge he has supreme confidence like a lot of quarterbacks do but that's a guy that really could be one of the great ones in the upcoming years turn to send it away inside his own 40 angles it toward the near side Irina's lets it go over his head and it's out of bounds let's see where they will mark the football at the 12 yard line tonight on 60 minutes it's a wonder of the world in the holiest of cities dig that is uncovering thousands of years of history so why is it causing so much tension tonight on 60 minutes only CBS first out at 10:00 at the 12 yard line for Matt Cassel and the Kansas City Chiefs and Thomas Jones crosses the 15 tripped up by Mario Williams but he games five on I so straight ahead run straight head walking by the offensive line and Thomas Jones the kind of a stretch play cutback right up over the center by the time he actually gets tackled and you look there that's that's what the Chiefs are all about don't let him see the football and score when you get it second down at five to 17 and it goes down except maybe a yard on the play Earl Mitchell as well as Brian Cushing and on the tackle we were talking about Todd Haley and we were talking about talking him yesterday about selecting two veteran coaches as a matter of fact he used to work for charlie weis in 97 with the Jets as his quality control guy but no fear about hiring guys that are just as good or maybe better yeah in what he said I didn't work for him I worked with him I worked for Bill Parcells but Charlie was above me in the pecking order but Todd Haley not afraid to stand up for what he believed in even back then there died in black all to play and ended for both Wow I don't know that look like contact all the way down the sideline bo did actually pull it in but he was out of bounds when it happened wove er quit blubbering Quinn does a nice job at the line of scrimmage but watch Castle he didn't hear he feels Cushing coming he's got to let it go Cushing gets the big hit on him you see they're both pulls it in great job by Quinn pushing him out of bounds get him out right to the sidelines they got to make a great throw and catch to complete it not going to get it done Colquitt will punt from inside his own five to Kobe Jones at the 30 Jones is very dangerous Oh beautiful spiraling cut by Colquitt Jones over to the sideline out of bounds at the 25 terrific job directional punting by Colquitt 57 yards 1999 in New York Jets went to the championship game and he looked there charlie weis Romeo Crennel and Todd Haley along with Bill Parcells on that step also a bunch of guys who were players who are on this staff now all these guys are on Kansas City's staff and you know what else Gus Bill Belichick Eric Mangini Al Groh Dan hitting all those head coaches were also on that staff a lot of history the Todd Haley brings with him to this Kansas City Chiefs he's worked with a lot of quality coaches in it it does take a lot of courage for a young head coach to hire experienced guys on his staff because you know things stumble you never know what the what will happen with a staff if things do go bad where's gone at 10 to the 26 play-action shop at the 25 Fuli for yards wise to the top of your screen right there working against Brandon Carr he goes up and he goes the post and then breaks back out car gets caught looking stumbles on the outbreak shop just lifts it up and throws a rainbow which is exactly what a quarterback has to do gives him a chance to adjust to the football great pass protection that was the cadet route took a long time where's Don at Ted at the Kansas City 34 the Texas play action shot began his time near side out of the backfield Arian Foster and he dives forward stop by de Mario Williams before yard gain and we talked to Arian Foster a couple of weeks ago when they played Oakland in Oakland he said you guys don't understand I can really catch the football out of the back oh he took great pride and he says I know that they everybody knows I can run and we had a couple of games already this year with 200 yards rushing but what they don't know is that I can run routes and catch the ball and he was waiting for that opportunity right there you saw a glimpse of it 14th reception on the season for foster averaging 20 yards of catch second at six sit outside goes down inside the 20 grand now houston starting to find a rhythm that's an AP arcade and his crowd is getting into it well you'll see as Daniels goes over and hits the trap walk that come right back behind him he kind of trips right there on his own making inside outside of course Walter getting a nice blog looking for somebody finally chasing somebody down to block flowers keeping his feet making the tackle it gets confusing trying to block downfield for running back Texans doing a nice job first down dead at the 8th it sees it for Houston in the red zone 13 possessions eight touchdowns five field goal even gives you an idea when you watch foster run this and also Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones in this NFL running style they hand the ball of that running back with a kind of gener'l idea where that point of attacks gonna be but man when you give the ball to an athlete like these guys they can go anywhere they want it merely puts so much pressure on the defense to stay gap conscious and make sure that if you don't over pursue and miss a gap give the guy a crease because they'll go anyway second down tonight by the big tight end Melchior with the jackal but it's a gain of 8 he had to catch this one from behind well watch his job is looking the other way Daniels gives a little jab move and nice catch I'll tell you what how many times you see a guy bat that to the ground trying to get it Daniel's does a nice job turning his body and pulling it in they they missed that guy when he was out with the knee injury now he's back and obviously feeling a lot better third down Warren at the 9 foster looking for the first down to the tackle gain of three and one player that's an unsung player on this Houston team is Fonte leaves the pullback you'll create a hole for Eliza physically you see there he blocks two guys for able gets caught up in the traffic Avante de leeches block on on Johnson as they come in Vontae leach not afraid to jump in front of the truck and try and block it faster eight carries 44 yards first down goal at the 7 out of the offset I Daniel's emotion Lent Dorsey tripped him up he got his ankle a two-yard pickup for Arian Foster and coming into this game both teams knew that it would be physical and Kansas City said they knew Houston wanted to run the football yeah both these teams knew I mean that the Texans come in with a completely different philosophy Gus they want to hit the home run they're looking to fake you out with a run play go over the top like we saw him do with Andre Johnson the Chiefs want to hit you in the face every play and just grind it out second down goal at the five Ward in the game in motion out of the back empty backfield for shopping good coverage by Brandon Carr and Andre Johnson couldn't keep both feet in Baja if Brandon Carr just kind of walked away because he knows that was a close one you'll see him working against Andre Johnson this balls coming he gets a glimpse of it hey just defendant doesn't have to look pretty doesn't have to be a pickoff doesn't have to be an interception going the other way just don't let him catch it Carr gets up walks away says so that's close that brings up third down Bowl out the five Arian Foster in the backfield that is emotion job looking steps up working Joel juice the second touchdown of the season but shop looked like Dan Marino in the pocket great presents Gus you said it shop did a great job of extending the play he threatened him as though he was gonna run the football watch you'll be able to tell when shop race contained there's when it's supposed to happen then nothing happens in look at that Johnson and Driessen right in the same spot the dead area watch shop he's got time right there's when the ball supposed to come out shop then looks like he's going to run it throws it her back across his body that's a quarterback making a play for his team Black is over the extra point at it's good 6:45 to play in the second quarter folks were tied at 7 welcome back as you take a look at the scoring summary Steve great pocket presents from that shot well he made that play at the goal line Driessen coming across you saw him reach for the football asking for it shop couldn't find him broke contained threatened the defense with the run and then just found the dead spot what a great play on both ends of that pass really crackers will send it away we're tied at 7 arena simha clustered back deep miserliness from the 5 crosses the 15 spins gets close to the 20 antwuan molded with the tackle here comes Matt Cassel the NFL on CBS is sponsored by the new Silver Bullet aluminum pint from Coors Light official beer sponsor of the NFL and by McDonald's I love in it coming up on the sprint halftime report join JB Dan Shannon Fullmer at Coach C for all the latest in of those scores and highlights that's coming up on the Sprint halftime report Reliant Stadium here in Houston the football now they took that opening drive 15 plays coupling 74 yards they used a no-huddle ate up 823 - matt cassel fourth - yard touchdown to my grave Oh his 12th down tenth of the regular season wears down of Jan of the night play action Moli aki the intended receiver but there's a flag in the backfield yeah this might be a hit on Castle personal foul welcome to passer first down well he called it on 99 I think this is going to be on only a gun Li a yeah that's a good call is too late trying to find more iake the young tight end down the middle of the football field was Castle laid it out there but googly a one of those guys the Texans brought into trying to help get more pass rush to help a young secondary first out of 10 gets close to midfield a 13-yard gain Eugene Wilson with the tackle Big Ben with the Pittsburgh Steelers digging on the Cleveland Browns here's JB hey Gus Ben is bounce back from that picky through earlier hooking up here with no not to 60 minutes Mike Wallace 29 yards with a strike there there on top seven three Gus and stage all right JB four yard gain for Jamaal Charles Shawn Cody with the top five 53 to play in the second quarter then tied at seven now no huddle offense again for Kansas City very effective form on their opening drive to start this game second at six at the 48 good strike McCluster Lester goes down at the 45 that's a four yard game when you see the Chiefs Kareem Jackson on the tackle just what was it Hank Stram he's say matriculating down the field they took the shot downtown which is good it was a safe thing castle just completely overthrew everybody now they're bringing in a heavy package two tight ends and the full-back fullback back today Mike Copps Todd Haley told us Mike Cox is in there because he is a hammer - at the 44 charge a cheap man and he pushes the pile forward to meet go Ryan's with first contact so let's see where they spot the football they needed to pick up two on the play and I believe they'll bring out the chains and take a measurement well you'll see Cox goes in just trying to cut off that block I don't know about the spot they got but I don't think it's going to be enough for the first although it's very close remember Todd Haley and the Chiefs have gone for it on fourth down in this game already twice and got it and got it so they're short now you get the feeling that they may go again they didn't pull that chain tight the first time it's a little further than that's about a full 12 inches he's going for yeah I mean he's wow this guy's like Cool Hand Luke guy he just looks down this place she sends the offense out there and the players are going to respond I mean this is something that's becoming quite common former Steelers personnel directed dick Haley who helped build the Steelers in the 70s to four Super Bowls Paul is part of his DNA fourth down and one is the rise too here in Houston Oh some movement on the left side and that'll be Leonard coke to tide in when they're pointing towards the Texans as though the Texans were in the neutral zone I don't think that's the case now if the Texans were in the neutral zone and the Chiefs reacted to them that is that is encroachment on the defense but I did not see the Texans come into the neutral zone I think the tackle on the guard both moved I think that tied in and a tackle that's four times over client waters right here these they're gonna double-team down oh and I'll tell you what the defense was in the neutral zone and that's exactly right and I'll tell you what the Chiefs had a beef they had a beef the defender was in the neutral zone when they jumped watch right here if the defenders are in the neutral zone in the offense reacts naturally it's on the defense you see there the the defender reacted to the motion in the by the fullback and got in the end zone I think that's a bad call it should have been on the Texans low snap for Colquitt he sends this one away kopi joke lets it go over his head and into the end zone so let's take one more look what's right here Antonio Smith is going to jump into the neutral zone and the Chiefs react the officials didn't see it that way and it is punted away by the Chiefs so Houston now with the football at their own 20 game tied at 7 for 11 ago Texans with two timeouts plus the two-minute warning coming up Andre Johnson spits out wide at the top of your screen Walter at the bottom in motion shop play fit in trouble terrific job by Ron Edwards and olds tackle 10th year player out of Texas A&M and that is the first sack of the day but a Chiefs a loss of ten and the Texans give up a lot of sacks because they throw it a lot and shop with a receiver like Andre Johnson likes to wait for the pass to develop that a lot of deep drops that's a seven-step drop and it just takes a long time and it's hard for the past row to hold up that long that makes it second down at 20 at the 10 nasty gives you an illustration got some white sack is so important it goes from first intent to second and 20 and it virtually guarantees unless they make a sensational play or a couple of very good plays in a row that the Texans are going to have to punt the ball away it's going to take a third and 20 conversions for them to stay on the field and it's all because of that one sack they need to go to the 30-yard line Pro first job in the shotgun on third down and 20 drop blood and we will get to the 15 a six-yard game maybe the 16 yard line dans did not like the place election there yeah you kind of wonder why they don't give it a chance to maybe make two completions on first and second down or second and third down to give themselves a chance but they elected not to and will give the ball back to the Chiefs with pretty good field position depending on Matt Turk and his ability to launch it down there he'll putt from the one yard line McCluster hovering around the 35 this kid is very dangerous McCluster he'll get a shot makes of course man miss look at it and McCluster a 4-yard returned Iran on a 50-yard punt Troy Nolan with the tackle on special teams and it was exciting don't forget also an exciting show tomorrow on TBS y5o turning up the heat and laying down the law don't miss TV's number one new show Hawaii five-o tomorrow only CBS decent field position for the Chiefs with three timeouts remaining and the two-minute warning at their own 37 yard line Jamaal Charles checks in to the Kansas City backfield worried about gas whose ability to throw a 60-yard strike not sharks flag on the play no we're nicely done again by clover Quinn a loss of five is going to be a hold on the Chiefs holding offense number 62 repeat first down it's KC wigman in the center the Chiefs finding a way to stake you know Gus it's really an art form you'll see right here he just snapped the football and he's gonna hang on for dear life to Shawn Cody Cody can't get him he ever you get the offensive lineman get their hands outside the shoulder their own shoulders are outside the that their shoulder width and still have a handful they're gonna get called for a hold and that's what happened second down at 15 at the 32 as we hit the two-minute warning Kansas City 7 Houston 7 interesting Gus welcome back to Reliant Stadium in Houston our game is tied at 7 Kansas City great on their first drive struggling their last for Todd Haley telling us yesterday that this would be a much bigger win than loss for this Kansas City squad especially when you know they're heading back to Arrowhead to play too hard good pass along to meet in the cluster with the reception and he gets to the 35 on second and 15 to be Co Ryan to tackle a pick up the three and Todd Haley we spoke to him he talked about everything but there's no question this is a team you go back and look at it they're playing Jacksonville and Buffalo and two home games after this they come out of here with a win they're looking at six and one because I'll tell you what the new Arrowhead is probably just like the old Arrowhead it's tough to win if you're on the road in that joint they're down at 12 in the 35 they're two of seven off third conversion the shotgun - four steps up fires looks like they're gonna call it a completed past waynebow their cats of our vantage point it looked like he trapped it yeah this is it looked like Castle almost got hit as he released it the ball came out low and they're gonna throw the challenge like you hear the crowd react as the Chiefs try and get a quick snap off and couldn't do it and they can't they're gonna review this from upstairs and ah I don't know not much there that says he didn't catch it I like to I like to pan the hand positioning of course I'm a former wide receiver but I like his hand spies hands and fingers are under that ball and he's got it right there I don't know I don't overturn it from that angle 56 seconds remaining in the first tab back after this this catch is under review from the replay official upstairs and the ruling on the field here is the important thing they rule this a catch and there has to be indisputable evidence to say that he did not catch it and I'll tell you to me and like I said Gus I'm on former wide receiver you don't take that catch away they may see it differently in the replay booth but see right there a bouncing he's got it so I'd be surprised if they overturn this particularly because just because it was called a catch and if it was called an incompletion I don't think they would reverse that either after I do the rolling on the field stands good job partner as always you know the rules so that's a 19-yard game for dwayne bowe first out at 10 at the 46 it's it's crucial because that gives them a chance to get at least in the field goal range here at the close of the first half Castle in the shotgun the handoff to Jamaal Charles and Charles and his tackle at the 30th 16 yard gate Eugene Wilson brings it down time out for the Chiefs right there Todd Haley chasing the official down the sideline to get it what a nice patient piece of running this is why the Chiefs are so good they are not afraid to hand it to Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones in situations like this less than a minute to go in the half you've got to gain some yards to get there you want to guard the clock but you know what because they don't waste time outs because they don't do things that are silly and turn it over and don't throw it they can do things like that hand it off on a tough down like that and don't forget coming up on the sprint halftime report join JB Dan Shannon boomer a coach seat for all the ladies in of those scores and highlights that's coming up on the sprint halftime report don't forget the Texans had to waste a timeout early in this half because they didn't have enough guys on their punt team and then took a penalty after that for delay a game Kansas City at the Houston 32 timeouts left first out of 10 and when we see this Kansas City offense do in the first half that you talk about it you pros talk about it all the time the great offenses go against tendencies absolutely they don't get into a habit and that goes for running the ball and throwing it jojje onto the backfield and he spins down at the 16 a 10-yard gain as Cushing makes the temple as they quickly get to the line of scrimmage and they take another quick timeout they were gonna go up there they had it they the Chiefs you can tell they're so well coached they don't think about the timeout the offensive lineman the running backs everybody's lining up to see if they do it Todd Haley calls the timeout don't make the players carry that responsibility he calls the timeout you guys just keep going with the clock I'll take care of that he did a great job there you know everybody's got to be uneven talk about being on the same page Gus they are the Chiefs are so well coached you saw it they all knew the situation they were hustling up to get on the line of scrimmage it may be spike the football Haley took that off him there's Charlie Weis engineering the offense from upstairs and 10 at the 17 tassel in the shotgun classic fires are the antenna he threw up be be delayed so he'll gone and Kansas City stores Oh what nice toast this was you want to talk about a quarterback being important he throws a dart to the back of the endzone right in the midst of that defense watch dwayne bowe he's going to go out he's going to give a nice jab moves stick his foot in the ground you see it over the linebacker right in front of the safety in Pollard lays the lick on him not enough after dropping two balls in consecutive plays a week ago beau comes back and Spears one in the back of the end zone second touchdown reception of the season for Dwayne Bowe as Kansas City goes seven play 63 yards scoring in two minutes what an efficient drive for the Chiefs team and the thing about this Chiefs team you watch him Halley's on the same page Matt castles on it the running backs know that what they're doing the offensive lines hustling to the ball they all seem to be right on the same page all in it together to be Co Ryan's down for Euston as they take a look great young linebacker for Matt Cassel going back to Bo Bo holding on to the football but that wasn't the case last week he had a pair of against a call to the third quarter put the hold on who fall in the end zone on the following dropped another one but today he held on to this one in traffic sticks his foot in the ground at the 7-yard line knows he's gonna get jacked right in the middle the him zone collars not gonna let him down and not give him a free pass but Bo that's a tough guy you know sometimes cus those are the easier catches you know you're gonna get hit whether you catch it or not just hang in there oh he's got great size 6 to 2 21 tot 8 he told us though he was a little heavy this time last year well that then Dwayne Bowe wasn't the only one I mean it was we kind of made his laugh we were talking to Todd Haley about how things have changed he said a much more difficult training camp this year as you see there D'Amico Ryan's taking a ride in he seems alert and up but this being this close the end of the half they'll take him on into the locker room right down on the bottom of your screen right here that's him right there no contact on the plate he might have already twisted something on the way towards that move right here it looks like his foot slipped or his knee just gave out or something I don't understand what it happened and you see these guys go through car wrecks for about 20 times a game and then no contact with something gives out strange shut up thumbs on to attempt the extra point 13 seconds ago second quarter teams take a 42 7 leaves folks don't forget tonight on CBS The Amazing Race goes extreme as teams square off in the Arctic Circle and one intense competition sent someone over the edge a new Amazing Race after 60 minutes tonight only CBS you look at what's going on last Drive and I'll tell you what that's a two-minute drive to five for five 444 yards with a 17 yard TD pass at the end of it in it and I'll tell you it that was that was a throw from a quarterback they traded for him wanted him and that's a throw that makes it all worth it right there cuz that was a good one Matt Cassel 13 of 15 95 yards two touchdowns in the first half the first of rabl and the second one to Dwayne Bowe so with 13 seconds left Houston with two timeouts remaining ready to receive is Slaton in Jacoby Jones line up Brian suck up picking it off from the 30-yard line he drives this one Jones will bring it out of the endzone Jacoby Jones crosses the 25 and gets close to the 30 of 30 yard return Jackie battle with the tackle on special teams for KC and here comes Matt Schaub it's been a rough first half for Matt shop not a lot of openings although he did throw the touchdown to Driessen that shop though in the first half seven of nine 74 yards inspect if they're gonna do anything with eight seconds left they have time for one play and out of the shotgun they're not going to kneel down once for a hook and lateral drops it off this is Arian Foster and if you take this to the end of the first half sama brawl with the tackle once again the Chiefs surprising on the road 14-7 we'll be back with the sprint halftime report after this message and a word from your local station you're watching the National Football League on CBS welcome back to Houston our halftime score Kansas City 14 the Texans 7 welcome back everybody Gus Johnson along with Steve Tasker partners in the first half Kansas City plan their kind of football time with possession basically 18 minutes to 12 in favor of the team and that's exactly what we expected the Chiefs are gonna grind it out and not make any mistakes and force the Texans to throw the football or do something special to stay in this game the Chiefs going into halftime with a 7 point lead I think that's big for the Kansas City Chiefs particularly coming out to halftime with it with a leg up offensively doing anything they want ok let's take a look at the Allstate protection I think the key thing there is this is Kent C cheese football they didn't turn it over neither team did Matt Cassel 13 of 15 for two touchdowns and a 132 rating and protecting the quarterback Castle with zero sacks and of course shop with the one that really costs I think the text is a chance to get some points before halftime and Dwayne Bowe three receptions caught Matt castles first pass first pass of the half for the game and caught that last pass of the half for the touchdown he also set up that touchdown catch with a key third down conversion that was reviewed but upheld so we're ready to start the second half Houston who deferred in the first app will get it to start the second period as some sends it away Steve Slaton back deep and Slaton and start from his own three is running as Slayton finds a hole bosses with 25 it's about 25 yard return Terrence copper would attack along specialty so that brings out Matt's job in the first half job 8 of 10 73 yards with one touchdown that's a couple of pretty good quarterbacks right there 21 a 25 for both quarterbacks magic shop Domino 46 they've got a branded car gain of 19 it's a nice play action and you think always when they go play action Andre Johnson's gonna go deep and it looks like he's going to and you got to bail out of your car thinking he's gonna go to the home run then when he snaps it off it's a nice 15 yard play watch the play-action Vontae leach up ahead of Foster you gotta respect it if you're the Chiefs and that gift shop time to let it develop Johnson four catches 70 yards he just closed it out of bounds good job by Mike Vrabel chasing it yeah Houston a very good second-half team on the season yeah that's that's big I mean and you look at all the teams involved in this graphic Gus perennial playoff contenders all of them Houston wanting to take that step this year Gary Kubiak man you gotta acknowledge it is important to this franchise this year to make a run at the playoffs and get in 2nd down and 10 at the 46 Leach and foster in the backfield Driessen in motion lines up in the slot at the bottom but only belter with the tackle thrown by the umpire on the second on the other side of the field second official in the backfield with the Texans personal foul personal foul leg whip defense number 74 15-yard penalty repeat second down all he said defense imported at the office he said defense but he pointed at the offense and that's who they're marking it off against let's wait Smith right here when he if he goes down the ground you'll see you can't like bring your legs up behind like that that right there is a leg whip you can't try and trip the guy after you go down and that is a personal foul and that was that's what was called is good call for penalties 41 yards for the Texans second at 25 at the last moment what a nice job by Brandon Flowers as he reached around and redirected the football yeah we talked to Andre Johnson Gus and he had a lot of respect for these corners for the Chiefs he said every time you see a guy catch a ball on them they're right there they make you earn every catch and Brandon Flowers told us yesterday because that's what I want to do they got to earn the catch that they're gonna get against me that was a great job on defense by that corner that's a great note call even if he got there on the eyelash before the ball did you're never gonna get that call through an official third down at 25 at the 31 job out of the shotgun to the side Jacoby Jones and he won't get their bounce by Brandon Carr a nine-yard gain on third at 25 and Houston three and out that was such a third and long we're gonna drop back and try and maybe pick up the first down but that's asking a lot and the Chiefs dropping everybody back in the coverage everybody's not dropping out and shop finally has to release it to somebody and it's just never enough for the first down in that situation at the penalty the personal foul penalty really hurting Houston on that series Turk from the 26 wobbly kick arenas let's you take a Bob's fix it up at the 15 arenas drag down at the 24 by David Nixon 45-yard punt eight yard return this telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience and the other use of this telecast or any pictures descriptions or accounts of the game without the NFL's consent is prohibited some injuries with the linebackers for Houston D'Amico Alliance has an Achilles injury he will not return dials is in the middle now the Texans first out of ten at the 23 this is Thomas Jones running crosses at 25 he talked about the line banking situation for the Texans we mentioned at the top they only had four guys active to begin with so that leaves them with three David Nixon comes into the game he'll move over to Zach Zach dials spot but the outside linebacker dials moves inside and Brian Cushing stays in his normal spot that's an enormous problem for the Texas defense in my opinion three healthy linebackers playing you hope nothing happens because then they're going to start moving safeties up to play linebacker you got big problems against a physical Chiefs running game second at six at the 27 Vacek each other and he fires it incomplete intended for Thomas Jones and right there David Nixon in the game now second-year player out of BYU and that's you saw the Texans head everybody up around the line of scrimmage that came with extra pressure you see there David Nixon second year out of BYU I mean he see everybody standing in around the line of scrimmage and the Texans it's a jailbreak yep Mario were you they're right in castle space casa does the right thing and just heaves it third down six after 27 they need to go to the 33:4 first job Jamaal Charles in the game there's castle nicely done and that's moley Aki Tony Moy Aki the rookie out of Iowa gains 11 yards on the play his 17 catch of the year he's averaging 11 yards per reception and the Texans sent six guys on the rush Mohawk he sees it just turns around that's exactly what he's supposed to do Pollard is the eighth guy down in the box he's supposed to pick up Moyock e and you see there these guys are the young players the National Football League moeraki doing a nice job he's going to be a really good when I think this as he picked up his 17th catch 1st down at 10 at the 38 and it's Jones with Running Room and Thomas Jones stopped by Sean Cody but Gaines 8 yards on the play and here's that ball control as you talked about all the time Steve yeah and I think immediately with that ball control in the situation of linebacker for the Texans you know the defensive coordinator for the Texans Frank Busch is going to have to do some creative things to try and get this momentum that the Chiefs have stem and they're doing it with pressure on the last few downs that time they didn't bring pressure and the Chiefs snapped off a nine yard Kansas City with a hundred and eleven rushing yards Houston as fifty two rushing yards seconded to the chorus this time Jones goes nowhere Antonio Smith that was a nice job up front running a little bit of a game right there just steps down and nobody comes out to get him what they tried to come around he just throws throws the blocker off of himself and steps right up and makes the tackle third down and three at the 45 castle looking underneath fall with the cats at the first down mix it with the tackle a gain of seven Matt shops doing a really nice job of making quick decisions and then firing the ball in watch you'll see as he comes out he's looking way wide gives a pump fake and then just turns and hits the underneath receiver he doesn't look at Bo he knows he's coming across from the other side of the formation just waits on well done by the quarterback so third down and three they get full danza City five of ten in this game on third down conversions Thomas Jones hurtling a defender dives forward Frank open with the tackle so on first down they gain five when you look at these running backs coming into this game Thomas Jones averaging four yards you carry Jamal Charles Avenue six point five yards in here and he's so tough down inside does a great job off the block watch cops just lays down and he forces to jump over the top of a gulia and he does it for a nice game second and five at the 43 Thomas Jones running away and can't get outside good job by the Texans defense over win in the area and it's only a one yard game sheeps lying up three tight ends in the game all coming out and making blocks going to the wide side of the field behind two days see there's two tight ends at the bottom of the formation and a third one to top below the full bag of hisses that's power football the Chiefs are getting it done third down for at the 42 short drop underneath david unattached yes touchdown 32 yards watch number 22,000 s play you're right Gus Dwain boat comes in there just trying to pick the first down pick up the first down on the third in three or four boat catches it snaps it up hard shrugs off the arm tackled side steps and then watch the cut he runs outside of McCluster knowing McCluster can keep up with him and all he does really is just get in the way perfect second touchdown reception of the day third touchdown pass of the day for Matt Cassel Kansas City looking good on the road again as they take a 21 to 7 lead the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Southwest Airlines find our fares online only at southwest.com Corona who invites you to find your Beach and by TD Ameritrade because we've talked about the pass defense and how it has struggle of course you think you're gonna struggle against Peyton Manning and the Colts but it hasn't been just that Donovan McNabb in the Washington Redskins 426 yards and then of course last week against the Giants almost 300 yards but three touchdowns and then today Matt Cassel in the Chiefs short passed long run great run by beau with some help from a cluster to get into the corner of the end zone that's the difference we talked about how the Texans would try and get more pass pressure on Matt Cassel disrupt disrupt the play on that end of the pass hasn't happened beau with those two touchdowns five catches 99 yards and the Chiefs kick in short at the 20 montale each starting fullback gets to the 30 a nine yard return no dropped by the waynebow today he's got sticky hands and folks just looking at this graphic this is the story of the season for the Texas it really is and they have to find a way to overcome it Gary Kubiak has said he's gonna live and die with a young secondary and today they're not doing much to resuscitate his hopes for the season I mean that they have gotten torched by a Chiefs team who doesn't even like to throw it that much Texans start at their own 34 - kobito odds in tracing for Jacobi but a flag on the play in the Texans backfield Eric Barry the rookie safety with the tackle both clubs Matt Schaub is pointing one way and Glen Dorsey's point in the other I mean Matt Schaub is gonna win out I think he's right Kansas City third least penalized team in the NFL behind Miami run win Tampa run winner done act like he's in too much of a hurry is he oh he is holy do you say hands to the face defense number ninety that penalties declined he was out of the play is the first down Shawn Smith right there right there at the end so a 17-yard gain on first and ten moves the ball to the Kansas City forty nine Jacoby Jones in motion shop Andre Johnson and Andre Johnson goes down at the 38 Derrick Johnson Brandon Flowers combining but that's a 10-yard game I think this is the way you got to do it if they're gonna play man-to-man you got to find ways to get him the football any way it doesn't have to be homeruns I think sometimes the Texans get too involved in sinden Andre Johnson deep you know because he's one of those receivers he's open even when he's not open so why not take as much as you can short passes are just as good Derrick Ward checks into the backfield on first to 10 to the 38th they give it to him well cuz we told them in he told you in the open the Texans are able to go big plays in the running game the passing game we talked about Andre Johnson it hasn't been too many big plays but on this occasion Derrick Ward takes it around the left side finds a crease and goes down the sideline home runs in the running game are the most difficult and yet the Texans get it done great job by Derrick Ward a 38 yarder on his third touchdown run of the season longest touchdown run of the season for Derek Lord at chess like that the explosive Texas right back in it seven-point game the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Sony and by Toyota three plays 66 yards and Derrick Ward with his third straight game with at least one rushing touchdown and we have a 21 to 14 game Neal Rackers right into your living room folks elitist of the fire an arena's gets up to the 25 still running he finally is stopped at the 28 a 24 yard return the kicker Neil Rackers gets him let's take another look at the touchdown war got some help Steve yeah joel Driessen comes in motion latches on to Tomba Hollies his arms hands on the outside as long as you get your hands inside the framework of your own body you're never gonna get called for a hole then that one I mean there's no question he had handfuls a jersey was pulling him toward and doing everything he could but if you can do this with the right technique you get away with it hahaha and that's exactly what Driessen did 1st down and 10 at the 29 now for Casey braixen inside clouds at midfield Dexter McCluster knocked out of bounds by Troy Nolan but gains 20 here we talked to Todd Haley when he asked him about McCluster and how he's doing he says you know the guy we need to get him on the field more and he's talking about using McCluster also in the backfield running between the tackles he believes even though the guy weighs less than a buck 70 he's still physical enough to go in there and run it between the tackles look for him to do a lot more things for his chiefs even than he's doing today first job don't make that Jamal child Running Room as he gains 8 yards big game today Baltimore and New England here's James Brown hey Gus and Steve Baltimore trying to get a little breathing room on New England after Tom Brady's pick Joe Flacco top left hook it up there with Anquan Boldin his fourth touchdown reception of the season 17 7 Baltimore with New England back to the commercial voice of the year Gus Johnson back it down a 2 at the 43 got to Jones in the backfield in the I formation Joe first time running and Kansas City just grounding and pounding out this Texan Squatch that's a 19-yard game Kareem Jackson with the tackle that's right Gus and that's what this game is going to come down to Gus the Texans have got to stop the Chiefs they can't pull this offense off the side of the road and stop them they're just grounding it and running it right down the Texans throat and the Texans have no answer their offense is answering they got to touchdown back but they've got to get a stop and keep the Chiefs off the board and they can't do it and I bought Mike Cox starting today as coach told us he's a hammerhead and he came up with a terrific line on that run by Thomas Jones first job Jones again with room and he gains for gets to the 20 stop by Zach dials leave it at Pittsburg off Big Ben's return here's JB in New York hey Gus and we were teasing and Mike Tomlin said that Roethlisberger would have to earn his way back here right take a look here as he hooks up with Hinds word good strong run by Heinz ward eight yard touchdown play five plays 96 yards 14 3 Pitt back to Gus and Steve Wright JB's second down and two March I'll stand honesty stumbling inside the 10 a 12 yard game we talked at the top of our broadcast we said the Kansas City hurts their yards the old-fashioned way they run the football and here we go yeah and they've got two running backs Gus that we talked about in the top of it Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones now Jamaal Charles breaks that run off now Thomas Jones comes in and both of them are physical fast runners and in the fourth quarter and second half of games this team can finish that ball batted down at the line looks like Antonio Smith got a hand on it on this Chiefs team they really run an offense it's a textbook way to run an offense they throw the Pat the ball to compliment the run game and because of that they don't turn it over very much and it just makes it really tough to beat him and look at the time of possession 2603 for Kansas City 1511 for used to second a goal at the 9:00 box and Jones the backfield gasps are changing the play the pitch Jones nearside guys forwarded gets to the six David mix it troy Nolan with the tackle three yard game and this is where when we said in the first half the Chiefs have not been very good in the red zone the Texans have not been very good defensively in the red zone but I'll tell you what Gus the Chiefs with their ability to run the Texans have gotta not only bone up for the running game they've got to be finesse enough to defend the pack watch him a cluster at the top of your screen third down gold castle fires that Dow great play in the secondary by Bryce McCain second year man out of Utah yeah and this is the kind of this is the kind of throw you want to make in the red zone Gus get it out there give you guys just go up and get it nice job by McCain getting a hand in there it's a pretty good throw by Castle up high where he can grab it in bounds where he can come down with it McCain just makes a good play Terrence copper the ended intended receiver that brings on Ryan suck up in to attempt one from 24 yards away and it's good 2:58 to play in the third quarter Kansas City taking a 24:14 lead welcome back 9 play 65 yard drive as the Chiefs eat up 404 suck up with the 24 yard field goal Kansas City taking a 24 to 14 lead tell you what Charlie Weis is called a great game today for this Kansas City offense he is kept this Houston team off-balance from the very opening series and look at the short kick again Vontae leach thirty-six a 27-yard returned John McGraw with the tackle that time Houston took advantage yeah they tried the more kick Vontae leach heads-up just catches it on the run but then they get the guys on the Chiefs coverage unit avoiding the blocks inside Vontae Leach has got nothing but green grass in front of him the last thing you want to do is hit the mortar kick to the sideline and then run inside as a coverage team time to blow an assignment for the Chiefs coverage so the Texan start at the Chiefs 46 first down Walter the motion man shop tiptoe out of bounds a three-yard game so at this point in the season Steve it looks like the Texans are going to struggle on defense well they're gonna have to outscore people Gus you see I mean they're just gonna have to do it Gary Kubiak knows it he's an offensive coach you look at their big trio with Matt Schaub Arian Foster and Andre Johnson that's today and also have these guys with a TD each but these three guys are going to have to outscore Texans opponents all season because their defense is just not holding up I'm good Johnson at the bottom of your screen foster in the backfield second and seven to job in trouble and he goes down a flag on the play as well great pressure Wallace guild berry getting to him and that's a loss of six was a five man rush and the Chiefs run him that three-four defense confused the offense olena offense number 73 peddlers declined that's Eric Winston the right tackle one of the best offensive lineman in the NFL and you'll watches the Chiefs you see the four down linemen then they come out on the outside right the bottom of your screen right here and see grabs yeah he's good yeah he's got Shawn Smith around the weights from behind I had to hold third down and 13 at the 49 Derrick Ward back in the game live bait shop dumps it off to him get there nice move after good catch and it'll be close looks like he gained about 12 arenas with the tackle now Gary Kubiak has a decision he's going to go for it on his own fourth down and this is a nice job by shop give him a chance give Ward a chance to make a guy miss and get close and he does he gets very close to the first down I think this is the right call by Kubiak you've gotta break something to lose it's the last few seconds of the third quarter and it's time to make something happen so here we go fourth down and one at the 37 big play for the Texan Arian Foster the league's leading Russia the single setback Jacoby Jones in motion Saba : gutsy call by Gary Kubiak I'm gain of nine off for that one Derek Johnson brings it down that gives you an idea the difference in these two teams Gary Kubiak not afraid to put the ball in the hands of his best player and let him throw it to his tight end what you said it Gus that is a gutsy call on a fourth down conversion to put the ball up in the air to the outside Wow first down at dad at the Kansas City 28th each Boston nearly offset damage in motion mustard great sit inside and Arian Foster goes down at the 2380 tackled by Glen Dwarfs Ian's been terrific today that's five yard game yeah this is a situation I think that the Texans are going to find themselves in a lot they're gonna be in a tussle in the second half of football games with their defense giving up points and they're gonna have to answer it's harder to come from behind than it is to run with the lead Gus the Texans are behind and have been the entire day and second at five to 23 the handoff and it's worth his time he'll lean forward to get inside the 20 picked something for and that takes us to the end of the third quarter with the score kansas city 24 houston 14 there you go Gus this right here this is a really really important statistic in football you're never out of it Houston can score points and they do it a lot late in games that's you're talking about good quarterbacks when you talk about teams who can score in the fourth quarter net jobs on the back third down and one for shop at the Kansas City night team drop bad dumps it all drifts above but it's a gate of poor our third and one you know we were talking Gus you're in the break you know you talked about the difference in the way these two teams are built Matt Schaub Arian Foster and Andre Johnson but this is also a team here in Houston that was built to compete in the AFC South with the Indianapolis Colts they're built to score points and get after the quarterback in shootout against Peyton Manning that's why these two teams look so different first on and ten of the Kansas City 15 as we start the fourth quarter shout again Jones down at the 7-yard lied Eric Berry the impressive rookie strong saftey with the tap there's not too many teams out there gusts that have this kind of confidence in their offensive line and their quarterback and their ability to match up outside to drop back and just keep throwing it when you're down by ten in the fourth quarter no question that Texans are a little bit backed into a corner now but man what confidence they show in their play selection that shop not afraid to go to his tight ends in situations like this Grecian is it tied in at the top of your screen there's the hand and it's Arian Foster this time and he'll get to the five maybe the four and a half as glint dorsey made first contact with casey and that's going to be maybe depending on the spot of first down and they do get it and that's huge first and goal on the five gus and that takes that opens up the playbook for gary kubiak what do you run in a situation like this if you're the tip saw what kind of plays it's all film study this feel I think Gus it's important to spread the defense thin from sideline to sideline because you cannot stretch them vertically there's no room first on the goal at the five dives and gets to the - branded car stops him it's a three yard gain on first and goal at the five and they run the stretch play they stretched the defense out side to side and then come back into the caps that are created by the defense trying to spread sideline to sideline and look for another one either they'll do the same thing Gus they'll try and spread it sideline to sideline and then poke a hole in it somewhere it might be mat job it could be Arian Foster second down gold at the to foster Li to the back here Bob McNair the owner Matt's job orchestrated but 11-play 46-yard Drive eating them close to six minutes watch how smooth and fluent foster runs through their sidestepping keeping his balance right there right there and then just leaning into the end zone the Chiefs do a nice job but foster just slips through the cracks well blocked up front and a great drive by the Texans to answer Neil whackers tax all the extra boy 12:06 to play in the fourth we've got a ball game in the Lone Star State Houston Casey you're watching the NFL on CBS 24:21 Arian Foster with his fifth rushing touchdown of the season and Houston pulls to within three the old rockers kicking it off Javier Arenas of Dexter McCluster back be marinus four yards and gets to the 30 33 yard return as James Casey makes the tackle on special teams coming up on the subway postgame show join JB Dan Shannon boomer a coach C for all the latest NFL scores and highlights the subway postgame show coming up next though Matt Cassell in a Kansas City offense takes over at their own 30 yard line 11:59 to play an attorney here in the fourth quarter and it comes to this Gus 10 the Texan defense step up Dexter McCluster in the backfield Jeremy Horn and motion passes sets up Lestrade come please intended for McCluster but the Texans were standing right on the play in Texas putting their ears back in the shotgun formation expecting that short pass getting right in the middle of it Texans defense doing it without D'Amico Ryan's in the locker room with an Achilles injury second and ten at the 30 it's a handoff Chuck it's close to the first down gates 8 Shawn Cody with the tackle but the rushing game has been a story against city it's been the difference because the Chiefs have just been so good not only the front line you see here both Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles being able to step around block step through blocks this been huge they've got a hundred and for in the game and they're not finished yet third down and two for Kansas City at the 38 Castle underneath let's again with a huge third down reception the Chiefs are now seven of 13 on third down conversions Eugene Wilson with the tackle you can just tell just watching this game when you watch this defense for the Texans after the Chiefs are able to convert that third down you can just feel the wind go out of that defense they're standing there they all got their hands on their hips trying to get something done and they have no answer for the physical nature of this Chiefs office Brian Cushing second game back after serving the suspension 1st down and 10 at the 47 and Charles stop by David Nixon picks up six and then we said this in the open that the Chiefs are gonna run the ball with Jamal Charles and Thomas Jones and in the fourth quarter by splitting the carries between the two they are still going to be able to be very physical very fast and fresh and right now early in the fourth quarter they look like it's the first quarter and the Texans look like they've been out there all day Jamal Charles on the sidelines Thomas Jones back in he's got 15 carries 73 yards Charles 15 carries 86 yards Jones skipping and finally taken down after a two yard gain by David Nixon that remembered Nixon his end because Tamiko Ryan's is out they only had four linebackers active to start this game that's huge Justin there's nobody that can come in for the linebackers exempt defensive backs and you see there now that Texans do it McCain comes in as Nixon comes off now if the Chiefs decide to run it they're running against 184 pounds cornerback instead of a 200 25 pound linebacker third at the 45 for Kansas City there's 7 of 13 on 3rd down conversions Castle a part of time on 908 to play fourth-quarter big third down coming up for KC the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Cadillac the new standard of the world rogue skyline on November 12th our first encounter will be our last stand and by Bud Light it's the sure sign of a good time here we go to play fourth quarter 4:21 KC Chiefs with the football at the texas 45 Gus this is the biggest third down of the game so far Houston's offense is clicking and the Chiefs have got to keep him off the field Saxons have not been able to stop the one and a flag delay game used in coming out of a timeout god Ailee can't believe he's telling his quarterback to get over there you saw him giving him the let's go let's go let's go waving for and they just lounge they didn't do it they didn't hustle at all and that's an enormous mistake at this point now watch this mad Duane ball he's been excellent on third Jeeves having some problems riding up now that the striving problems good feel castle underneath caught at the 40 yard line but this time it's muy aqui he gains 10 on 3rd down and 7 so Matt castles directing traffic Dexter McCluster and dwayne bowe can't get lined up he says forget I'm throwing it to mo iake that's I'll tell you what that's a quarterback leader he's got everybody lined up and got get two guys he's not even going to look at to get lined up properly finally get the play off after a penalty seeps 8 of 14 on third down conversion first down at the Texans 40 jobs and it Texans great pursuit photographer gets a block David Nixon with the tackle as he gets eight yards by reversing no question watch Charles I mean he's done it's over and he just spins out of it McCoy yay just lets him go I mean he goes back so far the quarterback throws a block right here he's gonna wish he hadn't done that yes tomorrow 16 carries 93 yards to child second and three at the 33 Thomas Jones now with my chest this will be a late hit so they'll tack on even more yards to the 10-yard game Gus will tell you right now the Kansas City Chiefs are for real that three in one start is not a fluke they are good first down that last third down conversion where castle got them lined up and then hit hit is tight in Maui Aki just tells you that they've got everything together they don't make mistakes and even when they do they overcome him and that's a good he gave him a little extra two steps out of bounds Thomas Joe has been around enough he knows that's a penalty the Chiefs just don't make mistakes first down and ten at the Houston eleven Jones look touchdown smashed eleven yards and Todd Haley and the Chiefs continue to run it down Houston's throats you can't play the Kansas City Chiefs with only four linebackers up you can't do it there to physical becames too long and sooner or later this happens what a block by Ryan Lilja the right guard number 65 7:05 to go on the board boy good 224 rushing yards for the Chiefs 31:21 coming into the game it was the past defense that was a problem different story today those team absolutely and this is no longer gonna be the case they will not be ranked fifth after today D'Amico Ryan's hurt did not come out to start the second half and Achilles injuries we don't know if how severe it is but he will not return Steve Slater from the goal line and Slayton wrapped up at the 14 yard line a 13 yard return Travis Daniels with the tackle on special teams coming up next the world's top 10 bull riders take on the fiercest the fiercest bucking bulls in a first-ever open-air event in Times Square the PBR built Ford Tough Road to the World Finals the Texans take over at their own 14 time not on their side but they can't score points in bunches job over the middle or Nana and Owen Daniels wrapped up at the 30 4-yard gene Belcher and Donald Washington with the tackle every time the Chiefs have extended their lead the Texans have answered and we said in the beginning this is a big play offense and they embrace it they don't shy away from it or apologize from it they sling it all over the yard and they're good at it Daniel's with road holiday Kansas City territory Mike Grendel knocks amount of files he gains 27 I think the Chiefs are getting caught paying a little too much attention to everybody except Owen Daniels Andre Johnson's double-teamed and so was Joel Driessen Daniel's pork catches 68 yards and that's the problem Matt shop will pick the guy that is uncovered no matter who it is and a timeout call by Kansas City good timeout called right here by the Chiefs Texans down the field big in two plays ten point game the NFL on CBS is sponsored by Subway restaurants try the newest five-dollar footlong Subway Club today and by Verizon the official wireless service provider of the NFL Gus's we went to break you mentioned it was a good time out not too many coaches give their defense as a timeout I think it's a smart play by Todd Haley first down at 10 at the 35 the Texans shot out of the backfield Boston Bob who breaks it inside and has finally taken down what a one-armed what a play by Andy Studebaker you said it Gus what a grip it's a great cut but foster looks like he's buying but no stick the baker pulls him down take on hailey loves all 45 of his guys he says I got 45 frontline players they're all going to get a chance to contribute Studebaker gets it done second at 7 shop - Kirby Jones died forward and gets to the 21 with the taco a 10-yard game after this play flowers gets up looks like you got something happened to him I don't know he gets up kind of not himself he's either got kicked in the feint he falls on himself or whatever but a shop he got runnin ran into by his own guy Antoine Caldwell getting pushed back into the pocket first down at 10 to the 22 playful shot steps up in the pocket lowly job just throws it out well he's got great pocket presents Gus you don't get to be the quality a quarterback he is without having it he extends the play gives his guys a chance to get open to make a play that's not written in the playbook when everything else breaks down he gives him every opportunity nobody could get it done great job by the chief secondary second down and 10 2:22 we have in the game now for you see it's game and territory Gus they give it a war clock still running a gain of 16 Donald Washington makes the tackle it's a great play down inside across the formation follows leach right through the hole in a great block once again by Vontae leach to Spring Ward first job and foster we'll get to the one five yard gain Houston has three timeouts but you would think they'd like to sable yeah and I think right now I think they should get in the huddle and get out of the huddle and run this ball in the end zone fast time is of the essence at this point with less than three minutes four minutes to go they're down ten second gotta go second of a day 3:32 go white knuckler here in Houston simple off-tackle Arian Foster runs to the sideline waits for an opening and then puts his foot the ground and boom right over the top exactly what you want him to do get that offensive line out on a hat on a hat then get down low to get him on the ground and let him go over the top Neal whackers man to attempt the extra point and it's good so here's a situation 3:30 to go in the fourth 31:28 Kansas City watch this off the offensive line on the right side they're gonna move out getting out on their men and then they get on the ground and Arian Foster goes right up over the top you see how he'll run straight for the sidelines when he gets the football and then break right up over the top right into the end zones state plays 86 yards they eat up 331 but the question for Gary Kubiak steam well can they stop anybody the head they get this man the ball back the Texans have been horrible on defense today look at the last four possessions and that's not going to be good enough in this situation now the Texans have all three of their timeouts but they're not going to do them any good if the Chiefs get first downs three consecutive nine play drives for Kansas City I'll tell you right now Gus a nine play drive here ends the game defense gathering for Houston Frank Bush the defensive coordinator has to have a plan to get the ball back for his team Texans have three timeouts left plus the two-minute warning Kansas City with only one timeout the short tip takes a box McCluster with King out of bounds Neil Rackers pushes him out of bounds so the story of this game the story right now is the Houston Texans defense can they stop this Kansas City team after scoring on their last four possession I think they've got to bring pressure and force the Chiefs to throw the football put everybody in around the line of scrimmage you've got to contain the running game for the Chiefs and force them to throw the ball even though your secondary has been torched you've got to do it first down and ten at the 33 Thomas Jones the lone setback they give it to nice job by sha Modi 3 yard game we've mentioned Cody's name early and often and this one he's been terrific today clock continues Iran 306 second and seventh at the 36 they won't start using their timeouts the Houston Texans until the Chiefs get a first down and it gets inside the two minute or gets close to the two minute Thomas Jones in the back here castle Chloe and they jump on him quickly he gets to the 41 big something by David Nixon Kareem Jackson providing and now Kubiak will take that first time out with 236 left in the game sets up another enormous third down for the Kansas City Chiefs this will be the biggest play of the game for both teams Todd Haley's offense eight of 14 on third down conversions and they're dealing with third and short they just need a couple now I'll tell you the Chiefs under any circumstance abend Andre Johnson and the rest of them they don't want to put that offense back on the football field because in this second half the Chiefs haven't really been able to stop the Texans either do you bring everybody right here if you're Houston - you gotta take the gamble the Chiefs have not shown the desire to throw the football I think you got it you got to decide and sellout Gus third down to at the 41 standing-room-only down Johnson charm in the backfield they faked the pitch we'll get a shot no flag on the play what a gamble by charlie weis to go at moley Aki the rookie tied head Louie hockey comes from all the way over here across the formation everybody runs out to the right they hope that more iake can sneak out the back side but Wilson the eight-year veteran one of the veterans the few veterans in that secondary sniffed it out and was their goal quit will plot from the 26 to Cobi Jones back deep go quit lifts this what high into the air Jones lets it take the bow head into the end zone so how about this here comes Matt shop he'll start from his old 20 down by three he's got two timeouts and the two-minute warning and an offense that can get it done this team has been sensational in the fourth quarter of games as we saw a little while ago we showed you the graphic 44 fourth-quarter touchdowns they've got confidence but still you don't want to be in this situation they all I need is a field goal we'll rockers first out of ten at the 20 shovel throw out of the backfield so do a gain of ten how far do they need to go to get in wrackers rain they've got to get to the Chiefs 35 yard line or just inside of it that had given you see there the career-long is 55 yards the roof is open here at Reliant but it's such a vertical stadium and believe me this is a Super Bowl stadium it's dynamite it's not going to be a factor with the wind or it's not at at the 30-yard line bombs during the back field there's shot again 45 declare the toggle it's a gain of 50 don't think that the Houston Texans are thinking field goal they want to win this game on this drive and they're going to take a shot at the end zone before this drive is finished bat shop cool on the sidelines Todd Haley Gary Kubiak the same two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter Kansas City with the lead 31:28 Houston with the football at their own 45 three receivers at the bottom Jacoby Jones crosses in motion top incomplete Andre Johnson on the side lock good coverage dere by Brandon Carr don't forget coming up on the subway postgame show join JB Dan Shannon bloomer a coach Cowher for all the latest NFL scores and highlights that's coming up on the subway postgame show job has completed 12 of his last 14 passes he's 22 of 28 to 52 of touchdown nope its second and 10 that's tough but a flag on the plane he may have pushed off Brandon Flowers think this has got to be against Andre Johnson and the official is pointing the other direction the official and flowers can't believe it it'll be good for 31 yards that's an appearance cannot believe it flowers can't believe it either yeah he's sending Brandon flowers back on the field so he can go over and give the official an earful watch at the top you'll see him right there it's a hand shot and there's the push by Johnson that Flowers feels and he thinks that's the flag and I don't know I didn't see much first on at 10:00 at the 20 Andre Johnson that ball thrown at his feet shot was under heavy pressure right there working his car you see how badly he wants to get to the inside that's why the play didn't work Brandon Carr doing a fantastic job of taking away what Andre Johnson really wanted to do that inside release great job I'll take us we get caught up so much in these skilled players on the outside what really makes these situations is the offensive line and the defensive line that's the difference second at ten at the 24 match bodies flying complete Wow somebody just jumped over the line of scrimmage that almost hit a somersault watch the desperation the desert Thompson everybody is doing everything they can to win this football game Matt Shaw getting rid of it the offensive line fighting tooth and nail and the defense trying to jump off cliffs to get their third down and ten after 24 Neal whackers they're already in his range and a timeout has been called by Houston Texans have one remaining have you ever seen something like this Steve look at Eric Johnson and he lands on his feet watch as he goes over and he comes up and then yeah okay he's a pretty good athlete Oh cut this but Gus this just tells you what these guys are going through they are selling out look at Tomba Holly running as fast as he can bobbing his head he's running so hard to try and get to Matt shop Matt job flinging it out of his hand just so he doesn't take the sack - really really good football teams going at it late in the fourth quarter of a close football game third down ten at the 24 the four of nine or third down conversions arenas with the tackle very patient in the pocket shop looks right Adam gets rid of the ball on time well defended by arenas just can't make the play the ball is too accurate the route is too good for his tied at the 13 baktun Media Derek Johnson grabs him after 2 yard games under a minute to play no hurry for the Texans plenty of time one timeout left with Chiefs coming a big great job by Derrick Johnson second down at 8 at the 11th that job with time his fires itself 34 31 35 31 his Andre Johnson what a game eight catches a hundred and 38 yards of the touchdown and Houston the Texans take their first lead of the game Andre Johnson has done a lot of good things but we've seen it throughout this game Matt Schaub extends to play and gives his guys a chance to make something happen Andre Johnson right here two guys all over him they're not going to let him beat him but then he breaks it off that job extends to play they make a play that is not in the playbook great teams great players do stuff that you can't coach that's it and the penalty while Brandon flowers will be something they'll be talking about in Kansas City all week I didn't think it was a good penalty Gus I didn't see too much contact the official had a better angle than I did you know he branded flowers it's not happy right there you can see him giving the zebra an earful I've been known to do that in my career he's got to be careful still some time were mating for Kansas City 28 seconds at a time McCluster bhakti it's out of box if they're close to the 40 yard lines deep as Neil Rackers knocks them out of bounds to 19-yard return and flowers is still giving the official and here Chiefs have got a timeout left this is the this is the penalty that flowers is talking about right here right there Andre Johnson gives him the elbow and the back pushes him away to get separation and makes the catch Brandon Flowers thought it should have been a penalty on Andre Johnson and they call it on him and let me tell you something gust that keeps you awake at night as a player you cannot stand it when you think you've been unjustly penalized Castle first at 10:39 with the timeout castle underneath the lane that ball crawled behind boy Brian Cushing giving pressure to castle we mentioned that this Texan team was built to play in the AFC South Division against Indianapolis those teams can score points at will they scored they get after the passer they're great when they had to lead and for the first time today the Texans have a lead second at 10:00 at the 39 castle steps up sideline incomplete Jeremy the intended receiver with 15 seconds left it comes open horn is right there that's right where you need to be and they just miss on the connection you gotta have that in that situation the Texans told us that the one major fear they have of castle is his ability to throw a 65 yard ball when given time third and ten at the 39 Castle steps up all in the middle it's gone Joe they got a call a timeout with 4 seconds remaining their final one Tyler they got it with the tackle it's a 23 yard game how cool is that I mean everybody's screaming the time clock ticking down and Todd Haley already called the timeout he knows he's already got it great play by castle getting it to Charles and this is a long field goal oh yeah and they can't even settle for for that down by four they have no choice but to get inside that as close they can then throw it up the ball spotted at the 38 and just talk about the pure emotion of the National Football League he's not going to get over that this is it this is a game that we knew was going to be tight these two teams are built to be solid all right here we go final play of the game the castle in the gun de lis receivers at the bottom he needs time to throw you gotta find a way to get rid of it antoine Antonio Smith blows the play up Castle has to run for his life and it's over 35:31 the final what a game
