Chiefs 10Game Notes: Chiefs offensive line gave up too much pressure. Cassell looked rusty. Could have easily thrown 4 interceptions. LJ looked good. Need to get Bowe the ball more. Defense looked solid but continues to give up big pass plays in the final two minutes. The scoring drive that should have happened at the end of the first half that never did will haunt Cassel, Haley, and the Chiefs faithful.
