December 23, 2007 • Ford Field • 59,938

A day after sitting on a charter flight for nearly seven hours waiting out a snowstorm, the Chiefs began the game slowly. After watching the Lions build a 19-0 lead, Kansas City rallied to get within two points at 22-20 before eventually falling 25-20 at Ford Field in Detroit. The Lions would score in all three phases of the game in the early going. First, an eight-play, 80-yard scoring drive concluded with an 11-yard scoring run from RB T.J. Duckett. Then, P Dustin Colquitt had a punt blocked for the first time in his career as Lions TE Casey FitzSimmons broke through the middle of the line to bat down the kick. The ball would spin out of the end zone for a safety as the Lions took a 9-0 lead. Detroit K Jason Hanson knocked in a 46-yard field goal on the ensuing possession to push the Lions ahead 12-0. Before the scoring binge was over Detroit LB Paris Lenon intercepted a QB Brodie Croyle pass and returned it 61 yards for a touchdown to give the Lions a 19-0 lead midway through the second stanza. To make matters worse, Croyle injured his hand on the play while trying to make a touchdown-saving tackle. With KC’s starting QB unable to return, QB Damon Huard stepped under center. Despite losing LT Damion McIntosh and RB Kolby Smith to injuries on the drive, Huard and company orchestrated a 12-play, 80-yard touchdown drive. Newly-acquired RB Jackie Battle took over the running back duties and followed the lead of reserve T Herb Taylor to score a three-yard TD on his first NFL carry. Kansas City S Bernard Pollard gave the ball right back to the offense when he intercepted a QB Jon Kitna pass. The Chiefs converted the turnover into points as Huard perfectly executed the two-minute offense. Four straight completions including a 21-yard strike to TE Tony Gonzalez pushed the ball deep into Lions territory. After WR Dwayne Bowe converted a third-and-four with a catch down to the one-yard line, Huard floated a TD pass to DE Jared Allen. Allen’s second TD of the season helped Kansas City cut a 19-0 deficit to 19-14 at the half. Detroit tacked on a 20-yard Hanson field goal in the third quarter before the Chiefs went on the attack again. Following an impressive 10-play, 70-yard drive, the Chiefs scored their first fourth-quarter points since posting 15 such points vs. Green Bay (11/4). Huard completed seven-of-seven passes including a 34-yard touchdown pass on fourth down in which Bowe outleapt a Detroit defender in the end zone. The Chiefs would attempt a two-point conversion in an effort to tie the game, but Huard’s pass was knocked down at the line of scrimmage leaving the score 22-20. A late Detroit field goal gave the Chiefs too little time to comeback as their final possession ended at the Detroit 30-yard line.

September 11, 2011 • Arrowhead Stadium • 68,755

Led by four QB Ryan Fitzpatrick touchdown passes, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 41-7 in the 2011 season opener in front of 68,755 fans at Arrowhead Stadium. Buffalo outgained the Chiefs 364-to-213 in total net yardage and possessed the ball for 37:02, compared to 22:58 for the Chiefs. The game, which fell on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on America, opened with a touching pregame ceremony that included a field-size American flag, a live rendition of 'Taps' played from the Shanksville, Pa. crash site, a flyover of A-10s from Whiteman Air Force Base and hundreds of Kansas City firefighters and police officers. Following the ceremony, Buffalo wasted no time getting off to a quick start, capitalizing on a RB Dexter McCluster fumble on the opening kickoff. Buffalo took an early 7-0 lead when Fitzpatrick found TE Scott Chandler on a four-yard scoring pass with 12:14 left in the first quarter. The Bills drove 26 yards on five plays in 2:39. The Bills increased their lead to 14-0 with 0:55 left in the first quarter when Fitzpatrick led a six-play, 75-yard drive in 3:37, capped off by a 27-yard touchdown pass to WR Stevie Johnson. TE Shawn Nelson added a key 35-yard reception on the play prior to the score. Fitzpatrick was three-for-three passing for 71 yards on the drive.Buffalo outgained Kansas City 117-to-42 in total net yards during the first quarter, including an 80-to-nine net passing advantage. On the first drive of the second quarter, the Chiefs appeared to have cut the lead in half when Cassel found TE Leonard Pope on a 19-yard pass in the end zone, but the score was overturned after a replay review. A missed field goal later on the drive left the score at 14-0. K Rian Lindell increased the lead to 17-0 with a 29-yard field goal with 6:42 left in the second quarter. The Buffalo scoring drive covered nine plays and 50 yards in 5:04. Following a Chiefs fumble, Lindell added a second field goal when he connected from 38 yards out with 5:38 remaining in the first half to give the Bills a 20-0 advantage. The Chiefs got in the scoring column when Cassel threw a six-yard TD pass to Charles with 1:46 left in the half. On the drive, the Chiefs went 81 yards on 11 plays in 3:52. RB Dexter McCluster contributed a 23-yard run and WR Steve Breaston’s first reception as a Chief went for 20 yards to set up the score. With 4:19 left in the third quarter, Fitzpatrick hooked up with Chandler for a second touchdown from 11 yards out, giving the Bills a 27-7 advantage. On the drive, Buffalo ran eight plays covering 59 yards in 5:52. Fitzpatrick threw his fourth TD pass to WR Donald Jones with 0:14 remaining in the third quarter, connecting on a four-yard strike. The drive covered 32 yards on six plays in 2:50. Bills RB C.J. Spiller scored on a nine-yard run with 11:50 left in the game to cap a four-play, 28-yard drive in 2:11, making the score 41-7. Fitzpatrick finished 17-for-25 passing for 208 yards on the afternoon. RB Fred Jackson carried the ball 20 times for 112 yards while Chandler caught a team-high five passes. Johnson and Nelson both tied for a game-high 66 receiving yards. Cassel completed 22 of 36 passes for 119 yards on the afternoon. Charles gained 56 yards on 10 carries and tied with McCluster for a team-best five receptions.
