Chiefs waiting to hit bottom during 7-game skid

Sports

November 19th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel laid out for his team Monday exactly what it will take to end their seven-game losing streak. He then questioned whether the answer is even possible. He says his team has to fight, and has to be perfect. Then he said he knows no one is ever perfect. The Chiefs’ 28-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday dropped them to 1-9, their lone victory requiring a franchise-record 18-point comeback at New Orleans.

November 19th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State spent nearly all season rotating two quarterbacks. The Cyclones finally gave option No. 3 a chance last weekend and third-stringer Sam Richardson responded with a brilliant night at Kansas. Richardson, a redshirt freshman, completed 23 of 27 passes for 250 yards and four touchdowns as Iowa State (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) beat Kansas 51-23.

Richardson got his chance after starter Steele Jantz suffered a head injury in the first quarter. Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads won’t announce whether Jantz or Richardson will start the regular-season finale Friday against West Virginia (5-5, 2-5), but he did acknowledge Monday that Richardson has the edge for job.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Andy Dalton threw for 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, A.J. Green caught a touchdown pass in his ninth straight game and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the woeful Kansas City Chiefs 28-6 on Sunday.  Green finished with six catches for 91 yards in another dazzling performance, Mohamed Sanu had a scoring grab and BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 101 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals (5-5) won their second straight following a maddening four-game losing streak.

Cincinnati now plays its next four games against teams with losing records.  None of them are as bad as the Chiefs.  Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing for Kansas City (1-9), but that was the only highlight for a team that lost its seventh straight amid a gloomy crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.

DETROIT (AP) — Ray McCallum capped a 20-point night with a game-sealing 18-footer with 13 seconds left, helping Detroit hold on to beat Drake 85-79 on Saturday night. McCallum’s shot followed a Ben Simons 3-pointer that had pulled Drake within 81-79 with 46 seconds to play. Doug Anderson led the Titans (2-1) with a career-high 26 points on 10-of-12 shooting and made all three of his 3-point attempts. He also pulled down 10 rebounds. Nick Minnerath added 16 points.

Jordan Clarke had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs (1-1), and Chris Hines scored 14. Drake’s bench outscored Detroit’s 25-6. Up 76-62 with 4:04 left after Juwan Howard Jr.’s two free throws, the Titans looked to have the game in hand. But a 17-5 Drake run, capped by Simons’ 3-pointer, got the Bulldogs back within two before McCallum’s late jumper.

Drake now holds an 11-10 lead in the series between the schools.
