Ever since they started trying the odd throw to Steve Breasten it seems like the offence has been improved considerably. Enough of the offensive line coach dink and dunk attack where you throw the ball 50 times a game to get 200 yards.
Maybe they're good enough to win 5 or 6 games this year if they can keep getting the ball to Bowe and Breaston.

Last season if the Chiefs were down, they abandoned the run completely and tried to put the game in Matt Cassel's hands. It didn't work. Against the Colts last Sunday, the Chiefs ran the ball effectively with Battle running for 120+ yards and Jones making some key runs as well. It seemed to take some pressure off of Cassel and he was able to get the ball down field. It was against the Colts however, still that is the first big comeback I can remember this team making in the Todd Haley era.
