Huard compiled a career-high 133.3 rating vs. the 49ers and owns a streak of 74 consecutive pass attempts without throwing an INT dating back to the 2000 campaign, including 66 attempts without an INT for the Chiefs in 2006. RB Larry Johnson leads the league, averaging 152.3 yards from scrimmage per game. A pair of players are expected to achieve notable career milestones on Sunday. Chiefs 11-time Pro Bowl G Will Shields can tie K Nick Lowery for the most games played in franchise history. Shields will play in his 212th NFL game (his 211th club-record straight start), while it is anticipated that Cardinals QB Matt Leinart will start his very first NFL game against the Chiefs. Up next for Kansas City is a road contest at Pittsburgh (10/15), while Arizona hosts Chicago (10/16) in the initial Monday Night Football contest at Univ. of Phoenix Stadium. THE SERIES The Chiefs are 6-2-1 (.667) against Arizona in the nine previous regular season meetings between the two clubs. The Chiefs have won three of the last four meetings between the two franchises. KC has claimed wins in all four regular season contests between the two teams at Arrowhead, including a 49-0 victory in the most recent meeting (12/1/02). Kansas City posted a 1-1 mark in regular season action at Sun Devil Stadium with the Cardinals claiming a 24-16 victory in the final meeting between these two clubs at that facility (10/21/01). Sunday’s game will mark just the third regular season contest at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. KC posted a 49-0 victory in its last contest against the Cardinals, the most points ever accumulated by the Chiefs in a shutout victory. RB Priest Holmes posted 113 rushing yards and two TDs in that game, while WR Dante Hall registered a 90-yard punt return score. The initial regular season contest between the two clubs came in ’70 when the teams dueled to a 6-6 draw at Municipal Stadium.

The first NFL contest held at Arrowhead was a Governor’s Cup preseason match-up against the St. Louis Cardinals on August 12, 1972. RB Ed Podolak, the ’88 inductee into the Chiefs Hall of Fame, dove over the goal line for a one-yard TD with 4:51 elapsed in the second quarter of that game to mark the first-ever score at Arrowhead. Podolak’s plunge sparked a 24-point second quarter which also included a 75-yard punt return by DB Larry Marshall and a 28-yard INT return by CB Jim Marsalis.

Chiefs Seek To Reproduce Last Week’s Winning Recipe Against Arizona by Pete Moris

Chiefs Set to Make Debut at University of Phoenix Stadium Sunday’s game will mark just the third regular season game at newly-

christened University of Phoenix Stadium. Arizona posted a 64-80 (.444) regular season record in 17 seasons (’88-05) at Sun Devil Stadium. Dating back to ’95, the Cardinals have posted a winning record at home just three times, going 5-3 in ’96, ’98 and 2004. Over the past five NFL seasons, teams qualifying for the playoffs boasted a .764 winning percentage at home in the regular season, owning a 366-113-1 record.

Kansas City would like to snap a three-game road losing streak that dates back to 2005. The Chiefs are seeking to post a winning road record for the first time since going 5-3 in 2003, the last season KC qualfied for the playoffs. Over the past five NFL seasons, teams qualifying for the playoffs have produced a 301-178-1 road record, good for a .628 winning percentage. Over that same five-year span from 2001-05, the Chiefs were just 16-24 (.400) on the road, a figure that head coach Herm Edwards has frequently stressed that his squad needs to improve.

A Positive Turnover Mark is Critical to Winning at Arizona Kansas City is always seeking to win the turnover battle, but that

objective will be even more important this week against the Cardinals. Arizona has lost 34 consecutive games with a negative turnover differential dating back to 2001, the second-longest such streak in the league. Detroit owns the dubious distinction of owning a 51-game losing streak in contests with a negative turnover mark going back to ’97.

The Chiefs are seeking to snap a three-game road losing streak. Not surprisingly, KC’s last road victory coincided with the last time the Chiefs produced a positive turnover differential away from home when the club went +1 in a 45-17 victory at Houston (11/20/05). Kansas City registered a +3 turnover mark in its most recent contest against the Cardinals, a 49-0 win at Arrowhead (12/1/02). In a 41-0 win vs. SF (10/1), the Chiefs owned a +4 turnover differential (4 takes/0 gives), the club’s best mark since going +4 margin (5 takes/1 give) in a 26-16 win vs. NE (11/27/05).

Although Arizona is just 2-50 (.038) in games with a negative turnover mark dating back to 2000, the Cardinals are a very solid a 23-8 (.742) record when plus in the turnover column over that same span. In fact, Arizona has won seven straight games with a positive turnover mark. The last contest Arizona lost with a positive turnover margin was a 13-3 setback vs. the N.Y. Jets (11/28/04), a team led by current KC head coach Herm Edwards. Prior to Monday Night Football, NFL road teams are 18-3 (.857) with a positive turnover ratio in 2006, but are just 6-21 (.222) with a negative turnover mark. MOST CONS. LOSSES WITH NEGATIVE TURNOVER RATIO, ACTIVE

Chiefs Seek to Contain Cardinals RB Edgerrin James The Chiefs have permitted just one 100-yard rusher (RB Tiki Barber)

in their last 26 games, while the Cardinals have won their last four games when producing a 100-yard rusher. However, the Cardinals haven’t boasted a 100-yard back in 30 straight games, the longest active drought in the league. The last Arizona runner to accomplish the feat was RB Emmitt Smith who posted 106 yards in a 25-17 win vs. Seattle (10/24/04).

Cardinals RB Edgerrin James faced the Chiefs five times in regular season and playoff competition as a member of the Colts. In those five career meetings, James has accumulated 494 ground yards, or an average of 98.8 yards per game. The math was simple in those contests. The Colts were 4-0 when James posted a 100-yard rushing game against Kansas City and were 0-1 in the club’s only defeat against the Chiefs. KC held James to just 10 carries for 34 yards its most recent meeting with Indianapolis, a contest that resulted in a 45-35 Chiefs victory (10/31/04).

When James did top the 100-yard barrier in Indianapolis, the Colts were 43-6 (.878) in regular season play, including a streak of 16 consecutive victories in such games to finish his tenure with that franchise. James has averaged 68.0 rushing ypg in four games with Arizona. Dating back to 2005, James has gone seven starts without a 100-yard game, the longest stretch he’s gone without a triple-digit rushing game since the 2002 campaign with the Colts.

MOST CONS. GAMES WITHOUT A 100-YARD RUSHERS, ACTIVE Team Streak Last 100-Yard Rusher Date

Chiefs Pass Defense Will be Tested By the Cardinals Kansas City is one of just three teams (Atlanta, Chicago) that has not

allowed a TD pass in 2006, marking the first in franchise history that the Chiefs have not permitted a TD pass in the season’s first three games. In fact, KC currently ranks second in the NFL in pass defense, allowing just 121.7 yards per game, a decrease of 120.0 yards per game compared to the club’s three-game numbers from 2005. The Chiefs have allowed just five completions of 20+ yards this season, a mark that is tied for the NFL lead. Last year after three games, opponents had completed twice as many passes of 20 or more yards against the Chiefs.

Kansas City’s defense will face an Arizona offense that led the league with 63 completions of 20+ yards in 2005. The Cardinals have a pair of former Pro Bowl WRs at their disposal in Anquan Boldin (2003) and Larry Fitzgerald (2005). Although Arizona has been proficient moving the ball through the air, the Cardinals have lost 17 consecutive games dating back to 2000 when throwing two or more INTs. Dating back to a 49-0 win vs. Arizona (12/1/02), the Chiefs are 16-2 (.889) when forcing opponents to throw two or more INTs. Arizona QBs completed just 18 of 43 passes for 133 yards with four INTs in the last meeting between the two teams. Dating back to the start of the 2000 campaign, only St. Louis (141) has thrown more INTs than Arizona (127).

Chiefs Have Excelled Thus Far in Scoring Defense After posting a 41-0 win vs. SF (10/1), the Chiefs hope to follow the

trend of teams who pitched a shutout last season. Of the six teams that held an opponent scoreless during the 2005 regular season, five of those squads (Denver, New England, N.Y. Giants, Pittsburgh and Seattle) advanced to the playoffs, including both Super Bowl participants. The only club that didn’t make that playoffs in 2005 after posting a regular season shutout was Cleveland, which registered a 22-0 win vs. Miami (11/20/05). While there were only six shutouts in the entire league a year ago, there have already been five in the NFL this season.

The Chiefs and Steelers are the only teams that haven’t allowed any points in the first quarter this season. Dating back to last season, KC has held its opponents scoreless in the first quarter in 12 of its last 19 games. The Chiefs defense has pitched a first-half shutout in its last two games, doing it for the first time since accomplishing the feat in contests at Baltimore (10/21/99) and vs. San Diego (10/31/99). KC will face an Arizona squad that has scored 31 points in the first quarter this season, the second-highest total in the NFL behind Seattle (38).

Kansas City’s defense has also been tough in the second half. Kansas City is one of just three teams (Atlanta, Baltimore) that have not allowed a second-half TD in 2006. The Chiefs and Cardinals have both scored exactly 27 points in the second half of games this season.

More Chiefs-Cardinals Scoring Stats Dating back to a 17-16 win vs. Buffalo (11/17/02), Kansas City owns a

23-2 (.920) record in contests when it holds its opponents to 21 points or less. The Cardinals are 8-32 (.200) when being held to 21 points or less since the start of the 2003 campaign. Arizona has lost 10 of its last 11 games when failing to score more than 21 points, including last week’s 32-10 loss at Atlanta (10/1). Kansas City owns a 35-1 (.972) record dating back to ’95 when holding its foes to 10 points or less.

KC’s Rushing Offense vs. Arizona’s Rushing Defense Kansas City ranked second in the league in rushing yards per game on

the road in 2005, averaging 150.5 ground ypg. The Chiefs continued that torrid rushing pace on the road with 145 rushing yards in the club’s first road contest of the year at Denver (9/17). The Chiefs own an 11-4 (.733) record when RB Larry Johnson cracks the 100-yard plateau. Arizona is just 1-24 (.040) when allowing a 100-yard rusher dating back to 2002. The Cardinals permitted 262 rushing yards at Atlanta (10/1) as both RB Jerious Norwood (106) and QB Michael Vick (101) topped the 100-yard plateau.

Dating back to the 2001 campaign, KC owns a league-high 133 rushing TDs. Only Cleveland (40) and Detroit (43) have scored fewer ground TDs over that span than Arizona (44), which registered an NFL-low four rushing TDs in 2005. Johnson boasted 20 rushing TDs for KC a year ago, a tally higher than the combined team rushing TD total of all but seven NFL teams. KC and Arizona both have two rushing TDs in 2006.

More Turnover Tidbits and Red Zone Stats Dating back to 2001, KC owns a +31 (152 takes/121 gives) turnover

differential. Over that same timeframe, the Cardinals are -40 (135 takes/175 gives) … KC’s defense currently ranks fifth in the NFL with a 20.0 Red Zone TD pct., permitting just one TD on five opponent Red Zone drives. Arizona ranked 31st in the league in Red Zone offense in 2005, owning a 28.3 Red Zone TD percentage (13 TDs on 46 drives). Only Cleveland (11 TDs) scored fewer TDs in the Red Zone a year ago. KC and Arizona both own a 50.0% Red Zone TD pct. on offense in 2006.

Dominating in all facets of the game, the Chiefs notched their first victory of the season with a thorough 41-0 win over the San Francisco 49ers. A defensive shutout, a sparkling 133.3 passer rating from QB Damon Huard and a TD on special teams equaled a much-needed runaway victory for the Chiefs.

With the team’s back against the wall, the Chiefs couldn’t have scripted a better start to the game. Huard – filling in for injured starter Trent Green and making his first start at Arrowhead Stadium – completed all five of his pass attempts on the opening series, including a picture-perfect 13-yard TD pass to WR Dante Hall. Kansas City chewed up over six minutes on the drive, running off 10 plays and sprinting out to a 7-0 lead.

On the 49ers second play from scrimmage, rookie DE Tamba Hali recorded his first NFL sack, forcing a fumble in the process. San Francisco would recover that loose ball, but on the very next play, Chiefs LB Derrick Johnson stripped RB Frank Gore and Kansas City recovered at the SF 25-yard line. A 22-yard field goal from K Lawrence Tynes gave KC a 10-0 early lead.

As would be the theme all afternoon, the Chiefs defense refused to let the 49ers mount any type of an attack. Not only did the Chiefs pitch their first shutout since a 49-0 win vs. Arizona (12/1/02), but the defense also tallied 5.0 sacks and four turnovers on the day. San Francisco mustered just 165 total net yards as the Chiefs upped their streak to 10 straight quarters without relinquishing a touchdown.

The Chiefs would stretch their lead to 17-0 midway through the second quarter when RB Larry Johnson bulled across the goal line for his first touchdown of the season. Moments later Knight snatched his 38th career interception, returning it all the way to the 49ers 34-yard line. From there, Huard needed just one play to find WR Eddie Kennison on a stop-and-go route up the sideline for his second touchdown pass of the game and a commanding 24-0 Chiefs lead late in the first half.

The 49ers would mount their best drive of the first half as time was running out on the first half, but the Chiefs shutout remained intact as K Joe Nedney’s 51-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left as time expired in the first half.

The second half brought more of the same as Chiefs WR Rod Gardner forced a fumbled on the opening kickoff of the third quarter. Rookie S Jarrad Page recovered the fumble near midfield to set up Tynes for his second field goal of the game and a 27-0 lead.

Kansas City’s offense went on the attack again late in the third quarter as Johnson racked up 32 rushing yards on the drive, including a two-yard TD run. With the 49ers game-planning to stop Johnson at all costs, the 2005 Pro Bowler wound up rushing for a hard-earned 101 yards on 30 carries.

Hall put the exclamation point on the resounding win with a 60-yard punt return touchdown up the middle of the coverage unit midway through the fourth quarter. Hall’s 11th career return score provided the final points of the Chiefs 41-0 victory.

GAME NOTES• The Chiefs allowed 165 total net yards, the club’s lowest total since permitting 132 at San Diego (10/3/99). • The Chiefs defense extended its streak without allowing a TD to 10 quarters, the club’s longest such stretch since an 11-quarter span (11/23/97 – 12/14/97).

At times during the 2002 season the Chiefs showed flashes of brilliance in all phases of the game. Their defense forced five turnovers against Miami (9/29), the special teams blocked punts in back-to-back games (SD 10/13 and DEN 10/20) and the offense was ranked number one in the NFL in scoring. Putting them all together was the trick. In the 12th game of the season at home against Arizona, Kansas City did just that. In a 49-0 rout of the Cardinals, everything came together in dominating fashion as the Chiefs posted their second-largest victory in franchise history. Thanks to 477 yards of offense and the club’s first shutout since October 31, 1999 vs. San Diego, Kansas City jumped out to a 35-0 halftime lead and coasted to their largest shutout victory ever. The only bigger margin of victory in Chiefs history was a 59-7 win at Denver (9/7/63). RB Priest Holmes continued his MVP-caliber season with 113 yards rushing with two TDs. He also added three catches for 56 yards from QB Trent Green, who completed 14 of 20 passes for 209 yards with TD passes to TE Tony Gonzalez and WR Marc Boerigter. After Holmes staked the Chiefs to a 7-0 lead, WR Dante Hall broke his first career return TD when he raced 90 yards untouched for the longest punt return in Chiefs history. Defensively, the Chiefs put together their greatest effort of the season, recording 5.0 sacks — including 2.0 by rookie DT Eddie Freeman — as well as four INTs. KC held Arizona to just 122 total yards and a mere 26 on the ground. The Cardinals mustered only 22 yards of offense in the second half of a game that turned out to be their worst loss in club history. After Hall’s punt return TD, FB Tony Richardson rammed in a three-yard TD run upping the count to 21-0. Holmes then dashed around the right end from two yards out for his 19th rushing TD of the season. In a relief role, QB Todd Collins threw his first TD pass as a Chief when he found WR Marc Boerigter for a 29-yard score.

GAME NOTES• Kansas City’s 49-0 shutout of Arizona was the 18th shutout in franchise history and the club’s first since a 34-0 win vs. San Diego (10/31/99). KC’s 49 points were the most ever in a shutout win, breaking the previous mark set in a 48-0 win vs. the N.Y. Jets (12/22/63). KC led 35-0 at halftime vs. Arizona, the most points scored in the first half by the Chiefs since leading 38-3 at halftime in a 48-3 win at Miami (9/28/68).• WR Dante Hall returned a punt 90 yards for a TD in the first quarter. It was the longest punt return in Chiefs history. The previous long was an 88-yard TD return by J.T. Smith vs. Oakland (9/23/79).• TE Tony Gonzalez moved into fourth place on the Chiefs all-time receiving chart, bypassing WR Stephone Paige (377).• K Morten Andersen topped the 100-point mark for an NFL-record 14th season.
