Yeah, KC is going to have to take care of the football in this one and force a turnover, or get a big play on special teams to win this one.
Bashing the Colts is in vogue right now, but they are at home and many didn't think they'd beat the Bengals there 3 weeks ago as the Bengals were hot at the time. Manning came out and threw a perfect game. He'll have ideal conditions at home and the Colts O-line is a solid group. Any QB in the NFL can complete passes if given time. Peyton Manning will destroy you if he has time.
But Herm's a pretty good motivator and the Chiefs have displayed a pretty consistant running game for several weeks now. My biggest concern is Trent Green as he doesn't look anything like he did even a year ago. Take away the Cleveland game and he's got 2 TD's and 7 picks in 7 starts. On the contrary Huard had 11 TD's and 1 pick in his 8 starts and two other games where he saw action. Two of the games the Chiefs lost with Huard were close games they could have won too. I wish they'd just use him as I think he throws a better ball right now and makes better descisions than Green. But that might just be me.
