But ... KC didn't "lose" it. Diggs stopped on a route leading to an interception, Thielen uncharacteristically fumbled, there was zero run game, and Minn's porous offensive line racked up 4 sacks. Despite all that KC racked up 2 TD's and over 300 yards in passing. It's a team game!

Just kidding ... it was classic KC. All of the above statements are true and he sure looks pretty passing the ball to those studly receivers. His team still loses.

Have a Minnesota fan in the office who asked my opinion of him when he was acquired. I said "He will put up good numbers and look the part. He will, however, make the occasional bonehead play, commit turnovers at crucial times, and, at the end of the day, he and the team just won't find a way to win the critical games - particularly when they are under the lights."

His comment to me this morning was "After watching him for eight games, your assessment of him was pretty dead on."
