THE MATCH-UP The Chiefs will make their first visit to Miami since ’97 when Kansas City faces the Dolphins on Sunday. Dick Vermeil’s team is 3-2 and is seeking to produce its second straight win after registering a 28- 21 home victory vs. Washington (10/16). Nick Saban’s squad is seeking to snap a two-game losing streak after suffering a 20-14 loss at Buffalo (10/9) and a being handed a 27-13 setback at Tampa Bay (10/16). Kansas City will be attempting to record just their second-ever victory at Dolphins Stadium. The Chiefs lone win at that venue came in the form of a 27-24 victory (12/24/89). Since that time, KC has dropped six straight contests in South Florida, including a pair of postseason outings. That 16-year drought without a road victory at Miami is one of the Chiefs longest against any AFC opponent. KC last recorded wins in Buffalo and Pittsburgh during the ’86 campaign, while its most recent win in Cincinnati was in ’84. The Chiefs last road win at the Colts came in ’80 while that franchise was still stationed in Baltimore. Last week’s Chiefs victory featured one of the most dominant individual defensive efforts in recent memory as DE Jared Allen registered career highs with 3.0 sacks, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. KC also registered a defensive TD for the 17th consecutive season as former Dolphins S Sammy Knight posted an 80- yard score on a fumble return, his fifth career defensive TD. For the third consecutive game, KC’s offense will face a team that ranks in the NFL’s top 10 in total defense. The Dolphins are currently seventh in that department, allowing just 292.0 ypg. Both Washington and Philadelphia were fifth in total defense when KC faced those squads. Despite it’s two-game losing streak, Miami traditionally plays well at home. Miami is 2-0 at Dolphins Stadium this season and has allowed just 17.0 ppg and 305.5 ypg in those contests, a 34-10 win vs. Denver (9/11) and a 27-24 victory vs. Carolina (9/25). Up next for the Chiefs is a West Coast trip to San Diego (10/30), while the Dolphins face New Orleans in a game that will be played at LSU’s Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, LA (10/30). THE SERIES A pair of old American Football League foes meet in South Florida for the first time since ’97 when Kansas City visits Miami on Sunday. The Dolphins hold a 13-11 overall edge in the 24 meaningful games played in the series, including a pristine postseason mark of 3-0 against the Chiefs. KC owns a slim 11-10 edge in regular season play, while the two squads have gone 1-1-1 in three preseason meetings. The Chiefs won the most recent meeting between the two squads by a 48-30 count at Arrowhead (9/29/02) and have won their last three contests against the Dolphins in Kansas City. However, the Dolphins have won their last five meetings with the Chiefs in games that were played in Miami. In fact, the last two Kansas City teams to visit Miami both finished the year with franchise-record 13-3 records, but each of those squads suffered a narrow road loss against the Dolphins. KC was 11-2 before being handed a 13-6 setback on MNF at Miami (12/11/95) and owned a 4-1 mark before losing a 17-14 decision at Miami (10/5/97). KC owns a 1-6 regular and postseason record at Dolphins Stadium with the Chiefs lone win coming by a 26-21 count (12/3/89). Without question, the most memorable and most significant contest in this series was Miami’s 27-24 double-overtime AFC Divisional Playoff win at Kansas City (12/25/71), Miami’s first-ever victory over the Chiefs after six straight losses dating back to ’66. That Christmas Day classic remains the longest game in NFL history (82:40). It was not only the final game ever played at Kansas City’s Municipal Stadium, but also marked the Chiefs final postseason appearance of the magnificent Hank Stram era. Miami also owns victories in two other historic postseason meetings against Kansas City. The Dolphins prevailed by a 27-17 count in a ’94 AFC Wild Card duel (12/31/94) between QBs Joe Montana and Dan Marino, a game that proved to be the final NFL contest of Montana’s Hall of Fame career. Kansas City also lost a gut-wrenching 17-16 AFC First Round loss at Miami (1/5/91), an outing that marked the first of 10 playoff contests during Marty Schottenheimer’s 10-year tenure (’89-98) as Chiefs head coach.

THE MATCH-UP The Chiefs will make their first visit to Miami since ’97 when Kansas City faces the Dolphins on Sunday. Dick Vermeil’s team is 3-2 and is seeking to produce its second straight win after registering a 28-21 home victory vs. Washington (10/16). Nick Saban’s squad is seeking to snap a two-game losing streak after suffering a 20-14 loss at Buffalo (10/9) and a being handed a 27-13 setback at Tampa Bay (10/16).

Kansas City will be attempting to record just their second-ever victory at Dolphins Stadium. The Chiefs lone win at that venue came in the form of a 27-24 victory (12/24/89). Since that time, KC has dropped six straight contests in South Florida, including a pair of postseason outings. That 16-year drought without a road victory at Miami is one of the Chiefs longest against any AFC opponent.

Up next for the Chiefs is a West Coast trip to San Diego (10/30), while the Dolphins face New Orleans in a game that will be played at LSU’s Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, LA (10/30).

The Chiefs won the most recent meeting between the two squads

by a 48-30 count at Arrowhead (9/29/02) and have won their last three contests against the Dolphins in Kansas City.

HOME TEAM IN CAPS

REMEMBERING HANK STRAM (1923-2005) This season the Chiefs are remembering Hank Stram, who

passed away on July 4th, by wearing a helmet sticker with his initials during the entire 2005 campaign. A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2003, Stram served as the franchise’s head coach from 1960-74, compiling a 124-76-10 regular season record and a 5-3 playoff mark. He guided the club to three AFL titles and a win in Super Bowl IV. His many contributions to the game include the two-tight end offense, the stack defense and the moving pocket. Perhaps the most fitting compliment paid to Stram came courtesy of QB Len Dawson at Stram’s HOF enshrinement in 2003. “I wear a Super Bowl ring on one hand and a Hall of Fame ring on the other,” Dawson remarked. “I know I wouldn’t have had either one if it hadn’t been for this guy – Hank Stram.”

REMEMBERING P JERREL WILSON (1941-2005) The Chiefs also lost another link to their Super Bowl IV squad this

off-season when P Jerrel Wilson passed away on April 9th. Wilson served as the club’s punter from 1963-77 and still holds an NFL record by leading the league in punting four times (’65, ’68, ’72-73). A member of the AFL’s All-Time Team, he was inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Fame in ’88.

Wilson came to the Chiefs from Southern Mississippi, the same school that also produced longtime Raiders P Ray Guy. Arguably two of the finest punters in pro football history, Wilson’s 43.4-yard career average was actually a full yard better than Guy’s 42.4-yard mark, leading Rick Cleveland of the Clarion (MS) Ledger to say this of Wilson after his death: “He was Ray Guy before Ray Guy.”

THE NFL’S LONGEST DAY - DEC. 25, 1971 During the Chiefs stay in Kansas City, one of the most historic NFL

games ever played in the city remains Miami’s 27-24 double-OT AFC Divisional Playoff victory over the Chiefs on Christmas Day ’71. At 82:40, that contest remains the longest game in NFL history, topping the 77:54 double-OT ’62 AFL title game between the Dallas Texans (who moved to Kansas City and became the Chiefs in ’63) and the Houston Oilers. Dallas won 20-17.

Even in defeat, the performance of Chiefs RB Ed Podolak vs. Miami remains perhaps the finest individual playoff performances in NFL history. Podolak’s 350 combined net yards (85 rushing, 110 receiving, 155 punt/kickoff returns) are an NFL playoff record. Miami K Garo Yepremian ended the NFL’s longest game with a 37-yard FG to give the Dolphins their first-ever postseason victory.

RB PRIEST HOLMES’ RECORD-SETTING KC CAREER Since joining the Chiefs as an unrestricted free agent from

Baltimore in 2001, RB Priest Holmes has single-handedly rewritten the Chiefs record book. In just 59 regular season games in a KC uniform, Holmes already owns sole possession of seven different Chiefs career records, an amazing feat considering that he has surpassed all of these records in far fewer games than the previous KC standard bearer. Here’s a look at the Chiefs career records that Holmes already holds and a host of others that are well within his grasp . . .

DICK VERMEIL NFL Head Coach: 15th Year NFL Coach Overall: 19th Year NFL Overall: 118-110 (.518) Regular Season: 113-105 (.518) Postseason: 6-5 (.545) Record w/PHI: 54-47 (.535) Record w/STL: 22-26 (.458) Record w/KC: 37-32 (.536) College: San Jose State (’58)

Dick Vermeil was named the ninth head coach in Chiefs history on January 12, 2001 following head coaching stints with Philadelphia (’76-82) and St. Louis (‘97-99). He is one of just four coaches in NFL history to lead two different teams to the Super Bowl and has twice been named NFL Coach of the Year.

The Calistoga, California native began his NFL coaching career with the L.A. Rams (’69, ‘71-73) serving as the team’s special teams, RBs, and QBs coach and offensive coordinator. During his tenure as head coach in Philadelphia (’76-82), he compiled a 54-47 record. In ’78, Vermeil guided the Eagles to their first playoff appearance in 12 years. He then led the ’80 Eagles to a 12-4 record to earn a trip to Super Bowl XV.

Vermeil returned to the sidelines as the head coach of St. Louis for three seasons (’97-99), guiding the Rams to a 13-3 record in ’99, concluding the year with a win in Super Bowl XXXIV. A standout quarterback at San Jose State, Vermeil served as an assistant at Stanford (’65-68) and UCLA (’70) before taking over the head coaching duties for the Bruins from ’74-75. In ’75, he led UCLA to a 23-10 victory over #1 ranked Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.

NICK SABAN NFL Head Coach: 1st Year NFL Coach Overall: 7th Year NFL Overall: 2-3 (.400) Regular Season: 2-3 (.400) Postseason: 0-0 (.000) Record w/MIA: 2-3 (.400) AFC West Experience: None NFL Playing Exp.: None College: Kent State (’72)

Nick Saban was named the sixth coach in Dolphins history

on December 27, 2004. Saban entered the NFL after spending 11 years as a head coach in the collegiate ranks. Most recently, he took over an LSU program that had seven losing seasons in the ’90s prior to his arrival. With the Tigers, Saban compiled a 48-16 record and claimed the national championship following the 2003 season when he was named National Coach of the Year by the Associated Press. Prior to his tenure at LSU, Saban spent five seasons (’95-99) as head coach at Michigan State.

He originally entered the NFL as the secondary coach for the Houston Oilers (’88-89). After a one-year stint as the head coach at Toledo (’90), he served as defensive coordinator with Cleveland (’91-94) under head coach Bill Belichick.

Born October 31, 1951, in Fairmont, West Virginia, Saban began his coaching career at his alma mater of Kent State (’73-76), before working at Syracuse (’77), West Virginia (’78-79), Ohio State (’80-81) and Navy (’82). He then took over defensive coordinator and secondary duties at Michigan State (’83-87). Saban was a two-sport athlete at Kent State, playing defensive back on the football squad and shortstop on the baseball team.

Turnover Differential, Rushing Game Will be Key Factor in KC’s Contest at Miami by Pete Moris

Chiefs-Dolphins Opening Salvos The Chiefs have won three of their last five contests on the road

dating back to 2004, while the Dolphins have won four straight home games dating back to last season. Miami is 2-0 at home and 0-3 on the road in 2005. Miami’s defense has allowed just 17.3 ppg and 304.5 ypg during its four-game home winning streak. Getting off to a good start will be important in Miami. Kansas City’s defense has shut out four of its first five opponents in the first quarter. In total, KC has outscored its foes by a 34-17 margin in the first quarter this season. Miami has been outscored 57-30 in the first half of games in 2005, but has outpointed its foes by a 65-41 spread in the second half of its first five games this season.

Winning the Turnover Battle is a Must Producing a positive turnover mark is a virtual must for the Chiefs at

Miami. KC is 15-1 with a positive turnover mark dating back to 2003, including a streak of six consecutive wins. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have won 26 consecutive home games dating back to ’98 when they own a positive turnover differential. KC boasted a season-best +3 turnover mark last week. KC’s opponents have fumbled an NFL-high 18 times in 2005.

The last time Miami lost at home when plus in the turnover department was a 14-12 setback vs. New England (12/22/97) when the club was +1. Dating back to the start of the ’97 campaign, the Dolphins own a remarkable 40-3 home record with an even or positive turnover mark. The Dolphins are +7 (14 takes/7 gives) during their four-game home winning streak. However, Miami is just 2-19 with a negative turnover ratio dating back to 2003, including a string of 14 straight losses.

The 21-Point Barrier is the Line of Demarcation vs. the Dolphins Holding Miami to 21 points or less will be key for the Chiefs this week.

Kansas City has won 17 consecutive games when holding foes to 21 points or less, a mark that ranks as the third-longest active streak in the league. KC is coming off a 28-21 win vs. Washington (10/16). Dating back to 2001, Miami is 1-12 in games when it scores 21 points or less. That lone victory was a 10-7 win vs. Cleveland (12/26/04).

When the Dolphins top the 21-point barrier, they are typically tough to beat, particularly at home. Miami is 17-3 at home since 2001 when scoring more than 21 points. The Chiefs are 7-3 on the road when scoring 21 points or more since 2003, including a 4-1 mark when the club scores 30 points or more. Since the start of the 2003 season, only two clubs have topped the 30-point barrier at Miami – Philadelphia won 34-27 (12/15/03) and Buffalo claimed a 42-32 victory (12/5/04).

Chiefs QB Trent Green Seeks Repeat Performance vs. Miami Chiefs QB Trent Green enjoyed the second-best rating of his NFL

career in a 48-30 win vs. Miami (9/29/02) when he completed 24 of 34 passes (70.6%) for 328 yards and a career-high five TDs. Those numbers translated into a 154.3 rating, just four points shy of the “perfect” 158.3 rating he achieved in a 45-17 win vs. Detroit (12/14/03). Dating back to KC’s last meeting with Miami, the Chiefs have won nine of their last 12 outings when Green throws three or more TD passes. Since the start of the 2003 campaign, Miami is just 1-7 when it allows an opposing QB to post a rating of 100.0 or better (minimum 20 attempts).

Green owns 20 career 300-yard passing games with KC, the highest total in franchise history. Although he is still seeking his initial 300-yard outing of the 2005 campaign, the Chiefs have won two of their last three contests when Green throws for 300+ yards. Getting a 300-yard game against Miami’s defense will be a difficult task. The Dolphins have gone 35 straight games without permitting a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL. Interestingly, Green was the last QB to top the 300-yard mark against both the Colts and Bucs. Green currently has 17,163 passing yards as a member of the Chiefs and needs just 115 more to overtake Bill Kenney (17,277) for the second in KC history.

Don’t expect to see the Dolphins air it out on Sunday. Since HOF QB Dan Marino retired following the ’99 campaign, Miami signal-callers have combined for just four 300-yard passing games. Among teams that were in existence in 2000, only Chicago (2) has produced fewer games with a 300-yard QB. While Miami doesn’t pile up the passing yards, they have allowed just 8.0 sacks this season, a mark that ties with KC as the third-lowest tally in the NFL. Prior to last week’s loss at Tampa Bay (10/16), Miami had thrown at least one TD pass in 16 consecutive games.

*Prior to Monday Night Football Winning the Ground Game is a Must Against Miami The Chiefs currently rank seventh in the NFL in rushing offense,

producing 127.4 ypg. KC has also broken off 21 rushing plays of 10+ yards, the sixth-highest total in the league this season. Seattle leads the league with 33 runs of 10+ yards. The Chiefs have registered at least one rushing TD in 18 consecutive victories dating back to 2003, the longest active streak in the league. When KC gets its ground game revved up, it is typically tough to beat. The Chiefs have won five of their last six contests when putting up 150 or more rushing yards, including a 27-7 win vs. the N.Y. Jets (9/11) when KC had a season-high 198 ground yards.

Miami is currently 14th in the NFL in rushing defense, allowing 101.6 ypg. Last week the Dolphins allowed a season-high 180 ground yards, the highest total relinquished by the club since giving up 196 yards at Denver (12/12/04). Tampa Bay RB Michael Pittman produced 127 of those rushing yards, becoming the first individual 100-yard RB that Miami has permitted this season. However, the Dolphins are still tough at home when they shut down an opponents’ rushing game. Dating back to 2000, Miami is 17-2 at home when allowing fewer than 100 team rushing yards, including wins in 12 of their last 13 such contests. Active Streaks, Most Cons.

More Stats on Kansas City’s Rushing Supremacy Dating back to the start of the 2001 campaign when head coach Dick

Vermeil and asst. head coach/offensive coordinator Al Saunders joined the Chiefs, no NFL team has accumulated more rushing TDs than Kansas City (112). In fact, KC owns 20 more ground TDs than its next-closest competitor (San Diego, 82). While the Dolphins rank sixth in the NFL over that span with 65 rushing TDs, Miami’s team total is still surpassed by KC’s three-time Pro Bowl RB Priest Holmes, who has accumulated a league-high 74 rushing TDs dating back to 2001.

Holmes’ feat is even more impressive when you consider that Seattle RB Shaun Alexander ranks second behind Holmes with 72 rushing TDs dating back to 2001. Holmes (59 games) has racked up his total in 11 fewer contests than Alexander (70). KC also ranks fourth in the league with 9,241 rushing yards from 2001-05. Interestingly, three AFC West squads – KC, SD and Denver rank in the league’s top five in both rushing TDs and rushing yards since the start of the 2001 season. NFL Leaders, 2001-05 NFL Leaders, 2001-05 Most Rushing TDs Most Rushing Yards 1. Kansas City 112 1. Denver 10,025 2. San Diego 82 2. Atlanta 9,863 3. Seattle 79 3. Pittsburgh 9,443 4. Atlanta 76 4. Kansas City 9,241 5. Denver 68 5. San Diego 9,052

Chiefs Rushing Defense vs. Miami Rushing Offense KC’s rushing defense currently ranks ninth in the NFL, allowing just

95.8 ypg, a 30.6 ypg improvement from the five-game mark in 2004. The Chiefs have allowed just 11 rushing plays of 10+ yards this season, compared to 21 rushes of 10+ yards allowed at the five-game point a year ago. Although Miami (49) is just one of five teams with fewer than 50 offensive plays of 10+ yards in 2005, preventing the big play will be a key for the KC defense as Miami, Denver and Tampa Bay are the only teams in the league that have produced multiple runs of 50+ yards this season.

With RB Ricky Williams taking a one-year sabbatical in 2004, Miami was the only team in the NFL that did not produce an individual 100-yard rusher a year ago. The Dolphins are 15-3 when producing a 100-yard back since Williams’ arrival in South Florida in 2002. In Williams’ absence this season, rookie RB Ronnie Brown topped the century mark for the first time with a 132-yard effort in a 27-24 win vs. Carolina (9/25). In their two home victories this season, Miami’s rushing offense has averaged 31.5 carries for 147.5 yards, good for a 4.7 yards-per-carry mark. Overall, Miami ranks sixth in the NFL, with a 4.5 yards-per-carry average.

Thanks to several big plays from their defense, the Chiefs pulled out a hard-fought 28-21 victory over the Washington Redskins. Chiefs DE Jared Allen turned in a career-high 3.0 sacks, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles on the afternoon, while S Sammy Knight posted a defensive score and broke up a would-be TD pass on the game’s final play. KC posted a plus-three turnover ratio on the afternoon and limited Redskins RB Clinton Portis to just 77 yards rushing. Kansas City’s offense turned in some gutsy performances as well, including 100 yards receiving out of RB Priest Holmes, his first 100-yard receiving effort since 2003. Allen got his big afternoon started by killing Washington’s first drive of the game. On third-and-goal from the Chiefs seven-yard line Allen sacked and stripped QB Mark Brunell and pounced on the loose ball to record the triple play. The Chiefs converted the turnover into a K Lawrence Tynes 20-yard field goal after a steady 14-play drive. Brunell would then hit WR Santana Moss on a four-yard TD pass early in the second quarter to give Washington a 7-3 lead. A 35-yard pass to Moss was the big play of the drive. Kansas City would post another Tynes field goal just before halftime to cut the deficit to 7-6. The Chiefs opened the second half with a six-yard touchdown run from Holmes. Green then hit WR Marc Boerigter on a fade pattern for a successful two-point conversion and a 14-7 lead. The Redskins took just two plays to even the score when Moss took a quick WR screen 78 yards for a touchdown. After the Chiefs offense was forced to punt on the next series, the Chiefs defense came up with arguably the game’s biggest play. RB Rock Cartwright, who was spelling Portis, coughed up the football when DE Carlos Hall tackled him. Knight then scooped up the Redskins fumble and raced 80 yards for his fifth career touchdown, giving the Chiefs a 21-14 lead. Brunell and the Redskins fired back with an 11-yard TD pass to TE Chris Cooley, tying the score late in the third quarter.However, the see-saw affair tipped back in the Chiefs direction when KC ripped off a 60-yard TD pass from Green to Holmes for a 28-21 lead. Backed by ear-splitting thunder from the Arrowhead crowd the Chiefs defense held Washington scoreless in the fourth quarter. Allen almost single-handedly squashed one Redskins drive with back-to-back sacks on second and third down. Then on fourth down with 14 seconds left, Knight broke up a pass in the end zone to preserving the 28-21 victory.

GAME NOTES• Kansas City registered a defensive TD for the 17th consecutive season when S Sammy Knight scored on an 80-yard fumble return, marking his fifth career TD.• DE Jared Allen became the first Chiefs player to register two fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles and at least 1.0 sack in a game since LB Derrick Thomas did it in a 30-10 win at Atlanta (9/18/94). • RB Priest Holmes recorded his fifth career 100-yard receiving game as a member of the Chiefs, tying the franchise record for running backs originally established by RB Abner Haynes.

In a game billed as a battle of the NFLʼs top two rushers — KCʼs Priest Holmes and Miamiʼs Ricky Williams — it was the passing game that proved to be the difference. Chiefs QB Trent Green threw a career-high five TD passes, including three scoring connections to TE Tony Gonzalez as the Chiefs handed the Dolphins their first loss of the season by a 48-30 count at Arrowhead. As good as the Chiefs offense was on the day, the Chiefs defense repeatedly set the table, forcing five Miami turnovers, including a career-best three INTs from S Greg Wesley in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs finished the day at +5 in the turnover column, converting those five takeaways into 20 points. From the clubʼs first drive, the Chiefs passing game looked sharp as Green completed 24 of 34 passes for 328 yards and registered a sparkling QB rating of 140.7. Gonzalez showed off his Pro Bowl hands early with a 30-yard catch on the teamʼs first possession. Moments later, Gonzalez, who finished with seven catches for 140 yards, capped a drive with a nine-yard TD grab over the middle. College teammates at Texas, Williams and Holmes came into the game ranked first and second in the NFL in rushing, but combined for just 118 rushing yards on the day. The Chiefs defense held Williams to just 66 ground yards. With the score tied at 10-10, Holmes gave the Chiefs the lead for good when he bolted around the left end for a 25-yard TD. On the score, Green threw the final block on the play, leveling Miami S Arturo Freeman to seal the corner. Green then found WR Johnnie Morton on an eight-yard TD to push the margin up to 24-10 midway through the second quarter.

GAME NOTES• The Chiefs +5 turnover ratio (5 takes/0 gives) was the clubʼs best total since going +5 in a 23-7 win vs. San Diego (9/20/98).• QB Trent Green threw a career-high five TD passes vs. Miami. He joined Len Dawson and Elvis Grbac as the only Chiefs players to throw five TDs in a single game.• TE Tony Gonzalez set a career high with three touchdown catches (9, 42 and 6 yards) vs. Miami. Those TD catches moved him into fourth place in Chiefs history ahead of TE Fred Arbanas (34).• S Greg Wesley produced a career-high three interceptions vs. Miami, all in the fourth quarter. He became just the seventh Chiefs player to produce three or more INTs in a single game and the first since CB Albert Lewis had three INTs vs. Atlanta (9/1/91).
