By Adam Teicher - ESPN.com

2. Chiefs Blitz: A look at the good, the bad and the ugly from Sunday's win over the Rams
By Terez Paylor - The Kansas City Star
"How big is this win?
It's a big one, and it's not because of the Governor's Cup, though that's certainly a nice bonus. The Chiefs, 4-3, are in the middle of a winnable stretch of games, and with the Jets and Bills coming up, they could make some major strides toward earning a playoff berth in the next couple of weeks. The Chiefs are on a bit of a roll — they're 3-1 in their last four games — and a home loss to the Rams, who entered with a 2-4 record, would have derailed the good vibes, especially with the Royals in the World Series.

Davis delivered a big play at a crucial moment Sunday when he brought back the second half kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown.
