KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Larry Johnson didn't say much, but those few words Monday from the Kansas City Chiefs running back further stoked a fire that had been ignited the night before. Hours after the Chiefs lost 37-7 to San Diego on Sunday, Johnson made several controversial remarks on Twitter directed toward his coach, Todd Haley, and Haley's lack of football-playing experience.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —The Chiefs were in the middle of feeling good about themselves when on Sunday, reality intervened. It wasn't so much about the fact their winning streak was stopped abruptly at one as how that happened.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Derrick Johnson is pacing in a hallway, trying to find the words. He says he has no idea where he stands with the Chiefs. He didn't watch television on Tuesday because that was the NFL's trade deadline. He couldn't relax on his day off at the same time he was worrying about his future.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Ron Edwards said he needs to work on repetition, and he didn't break from his training Thursday. He kept saying it. Question after question, he had the same thing on his mind.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —The developments with his team's AFC West rival in Denver haven't escaped Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt. He's seen the Broncos — who embarked on their own rebuilding project last winter after ousting longtime coach Mike Shanahan and replacing him with Josh McDaniels — shock the NFL by jumping to a 6-0 start.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Todd Haley looked relieved. His arms were crossed late in Sunday's game at Washington, and he didn't let a smile break through until the Chiefs had their first victory — and Haley's first as a head coach — clinched.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —This is uncharted territory for the Chiefs, at least for the time they've been coached by Todd Haley.
LANDOVER, Md. —Todd Haley stepped into a hallway, the tears still in his eyes and the praise still coming. Somebody handed him a cell phone. It was his wife. That didn't help the overflow of emotion that he was experiencing.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Glenn Dorsey is at a strange place, the crossroads of being ashamed of where he's been but proud he made it back. The Chiefs defensive end sits in the team's locker room, remembering the careless times that seemed so innocent — and the hard time he did as punishment.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —The last couple of seasons haven't been happy ones for running back Larry Johnson, but he hasn't seen hard times like these.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —The Chiefs were determined to stand up this time to the bullies from the NFC East and, with some timely help in the form of Dallas turnovers, they did.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Dave Pear can't remember the sweetness or the relief. He can't picture the anxious final moments on the field or the party in the locker room. Time and his flickering memory won't let him.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —The dilemma with running back Jamaal Charles gets to the heart of the problem Todd Haley has in getting the 0-4 Chiefs a victory and, longer term, building them into a playoff contender.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —If the Chiefs could dream it, they were willing to try it Sunday. And at least on offense, few of those things — creativity, surprise, waiting on miracles and old-fashioned power — seemed to have a chance.
KANSAS CITY, Mo . —Brandon Flowers keeps the cell phone close. It's his link to the old life. It's his connection to home.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Tyson Jackson stopped Googling himself years ago. Too many amateur coaches out there. Too much unsolicited advice. Too many harsh words.
The dizzying pace of change accelerated Wednesday at Chiefs headquarters. They made one change in their starting lineup and filled two roster vacancies with available free agents.
KANSAS CITY, Mo — One of the Chiefs' most unlikely, exciting and unpredictable playmakers is on the move, and Kansas City is again stockpiling for the future.
