WHAT DID THEM IN. SPERO: GABBERT WORKING FROM THE

GUN HIT ON THE RELEASE AND INCOMPLETE.

INTENDED FOR THE TIGHT END, BLAKE BELL. GABBERT GAVE HIM A CHANCE, GILLMAN AMONG THE PLAYERS IN THE

BUT KANSAS CITY INSIDE THE RED ZONE DID A NICE JOB OF FORCING THE FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT LAST WEEK.

SPERO: ON SECOND AND TWO, STICK’S PASS BATTED DOWN IN THE END ZONE. BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED BY WATSON

WITH PALMER THE INTENDED RECEIVER.

SO FAR WATSON HAS BEEN UP TO THE TASK. ABILITY TO NOT ONLY RUSH WITH FOUR BUT THE BLITZ PACKAGES THAT

SPAGNUOLO PUTS TOGETHER THAT. IS REALLY WHERE THEY ARE BUILT. SPERO: KANSAS CITY WAS EXPECTING THAT PLAY.

MORE OF A SINMPLIFIED GAME WITH PLAYERS NOT USED TO A LOT OF PLAYS. SPERO: FOOTBALL COMES LOOSE AND

KANSAS CITY HAS IT AND EDWARDS HAS IT AND HE IS UP AND RUNNING AND HE WILL TOOK THE ROCK ALL THE WAY BACK FOR A KANSAS CITY

TOUCHDOWN. 97 YARDS!

WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS. ADAM: OMENHU WAS LINED UP HERE AND STAYS WITH IT. STICK GOES UP INSIDE AND THEN

OMENHU GETS THE BALL OUT AND THEN EDWARDS IS IN THE PERFECT SPOT TO PICK IT UP AND TAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE HOUSE.

THEY HAVE ONLY HAD THREE TAKE-AWAYS SINCE THE BYE WEEK, THAT IS A MARK OF NOT ONLY GOOD PASS RUSHERS UP FRONT BUT SHOWS

YOU THE COMPLEXITY OF THE SCHEME.

CHARGERS BEGIN AT THE 24 AND STICK WAS THE POCKET COLLAPSE AND HE IS GOING TO RUN AND IT WILL BE THE THIRD FIRST DOWN RUN

FOR STICK AND A NICE DRIVER — DRIVE.

ADAM: CHICAGO PLAYING SOME PRETTY GOOD BALL. SPERO: YES, THEY ARE. THESE TWO TEAMS PLAY THE WORLD

OF STUNNER. A STUNNER IN NASHVILLE WITH

TENNESSEE KNOCKING OFF JACKSONVILLE. HOUSTON WINS THE A.F.C. SOUTH SO THE KANSAS CITY DEFENSE GIVE UP

YOU SEE THE BACK SEVEN IN THE SECONDARY, THEY DO A LOT OF COMMUNICATING. AND THEY HAVE DONE A PRETTY GOOD

JOB OF LIMITING THE BLOWN COVERAGES AND ASSIGNMENT ERRORS BECAUSE AS YOU ADD COMPLEXITY THAT LEADS TO MISSED ASSIGNMENT.

SPERO: IMPRESSIVE RETURN BY RICHIE JAIMES.

CHIEFS. SPERO: CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE

GETS HIMSELF RESET. GABBERT ON THIRD AND EIGHT,

BURIED. KHALIL MACK AND HIS MONSTROUS

SEASON CONTINUES. HE HAS BEEN THE ONE CONSTANT

WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, WHAT A YEAR. SPERO: THEY ARE RUNNING FOR THE FIRST DOWN WITH PERINE, THEY GET

NINE AND THAT WILL GET KANSAS CITY A FRESH SET OF DOWNS. EUSPERO: RUN THE FAKE PUNT, GET SOME SPECIAL TEAMS WORK. FIRST DOWN, GABBERT STEPS,IN THE POCKET, DELIVERS, A STRIKE AND

H HARDMAN INSIDE THE T10.

WITH A PASS, WHAT A CATCH AND H

EVENTUALLY SIGNED WITH THE JETS BEFORE HE FINDS HIS WAY BACK TO KANSAS CITY MIDWAY THROUGH IT SEASON.

BIG PLAY BY KHALIL MACK AS LA’MICAL PERINE GOES BACKWARDS, THIRD AND GOAL. ADAM: MACK HAS HAD AN

BOWL THIS WEEK. A BIT OF A SNUB WITH THE SEASON HE HAS HAD ON PACE FOR THE BEST SEASON OF HIS CAREER AND A 22

CHIP SHOT IS GOOD SO THE CHIEFS BUILD ON THEIR LEAD LATE STAGES IF I’M PART OF THE CHARGERS YOU HAVE TO PUT THIS IN THE END ZONE IN THE LAST GAME OF THE SEASON. SPERO: JOSH HARRIS THE SNAPPER,

J.K. HAS THE HOLDER AND A 49-YARD LINE FIELD GOAL BY CAMERON DICKER WHO HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BRIGHT SPOTS OF THE

INFANTRY AND CREED AND WHERE THEY HAVE STRUGGLED IS TACKLE GIVING UP PRESSURE. SPERO: DONOVAN SMITH NECK

INJURIES IS A FACTOR. GABBERT TAKING A SHOT AND THIS ONE IS INTERCEPT ED. ALOHI GILMAN WITH WHAT WILL

PROBABLY BE THE EASIEST PICK OF HIS CAREER. HE IS AGGRESSIVE, LINES UP IN PRESS COVERAGE AS MUCH AS ANY

CORNERBACK IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE AND IS AN EXCELLENT TACKLER. SPERO: FRESH SET OF DOWNS AND

STICK SHOWING THE WHEELS TODAY. THAT HAS BEEN THE BEST OFFENSIVE WEAPON FOR THE CHARGERS SO FAR AS HE RUNS FOR 13 ON A SCRAMBLE.

GOOD JOB IN A DISADVANTAGE OUS POSITION.

SPERO: HERE IS DICKER THEIR SECOND-YEAR KICKER. THINK OF THE KICKING WOES THEY HAD A NUMBER OF YEARS.

DICKER HAS REALLY SOLIDIFIED THAT SPOT.

HE BANGS IT IN FROM 40. SO, THAT TAKES US TO HALFTIME LINE AND GET HIS TEAM READY AS THEY GEAR UP FOR THE PLAYOFFS

NEXT WEEK. KANSAS CITY TO KICK.

DAVIS WILL PLAY IT ON THE EDGE OF HIS END ZONE AND HE HAS OPEN CARPET AND A BIG RETURN TO GET THE CHARGERS HAVEN’T STARTING

FIELD POSITION AS WE GO TO ADITI.

PLAYED 10 EVERY SNAPS ALL SEASON COMING IN RIGHT TACKLE. BALL IS LOOSE AS EKELER IS LIT UP IN THE BACKFIELD.

ALEX ERICKSON JOHNNY ON THE SPOT FALLS ON IT BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO PUNT AS THEY LOSE A BUNCH. ADAM: CHRIS JONES IS JUST — YOU AND THE CHARGERS REALLY HAVING NO CHANCE MANY JONES CONTINUING

TO BE A MAJOR FORCE ON THAT DEFENSIVE LINE. SPERO: THE PUNT WILL BE PLAYED. JAMES MUFFS IT FOR A MOMENT,

RECOVERS, AND KANSAS CITY FORTUNATE TO RETAIN AS THEY WILL START INSIDE THEIR 20. WE WILL GET ANOTHER INJURY

JONES A HUGE, HUGE PART OF HOW SUCCESSFUL THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN JANUARY. SPERO: GABBERT JUST GETS IT OUT

AND IT IS PERINE OFF TO THE RACES AS HE SPRINTS UP THE SIDELINE. IT WAS KHALIL MACK COMING AROUND

INPOUNDS BUT THAT PLAY — INBOUNDS BUT THAT WAS MADE BY SAMUEL GIVING HIM NO SPACE. SPERO: EDWARDS-HELAIRE AND

WRAPPED UP AND MACK COMING TO TURN OUT THE LIGHTS.

HAPPENED. SPERO: THAT IS SOME KIND OF BULL

RUSH. DERRICK SON OVER THE MIDDLE AND

BEAUTIFUL DELIVERED BALL AND FIRST DOWN PICKUP. WE ACROSS THE NINE MINUTE MARK. ADAM: THIS BALL CAME OUT ON TIME NOT HAD ANY DEFENSIVE SNACKS, SEVENTH ROUND PICK OUT OF BALL

STATE. BEAUTIFUL COMPLETION, FIRST DOWN AND MORE, PARHAM AGAIN FOR THE CHARGERS GOING RIGHT THROUGH THE

MIDDLE OF THAT CHIEFS SECONDARY, THEY PICK UP 22 AND ANOTHER ACROSS FROM HIM AND HE JUST TOOK HIM RIGHT INTO THAT BACKFIELD, GOT OFF AND MADE THE PLAY. >> EKELER LINED UP AT THE TOP OF

THE PICTURE ON THIRD AND SIX. STICK BURIED, AND IT IS CHRIS

JONES. AND HE FINALLY GETS TO THE

QUARTERBACK. AND LOOK AT THE REACTION ON THAT GETTING ONE OF HIS DEFENSIVE STARS OFF THIS FIELD HEALTHY.

YOU THINK THEY LOVE CHRIS JONES DOWN IN THAT LOCKER ROOM? A MILLION AND A QUARTER BONUS GETS HIS INCENTIVES INTO THE

BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THROUGH THAT MAN’S WATCH. THAT GABBERT PASS DEFLECT THE AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

KHALIL MACK ABLE TO GET A HAND ON THE FOOTBALL.

OUR TALENTED CAMERA OPERATORS IS CHUCK.

DAVIS SHOT OUT OF A CANNON! RUNS OUT OF BOUNDS ON A BEAUTIFUL RUN TO GET THEM ANOTHER FIRST DOWN.

SUBPLOT THAT WOULD BE NEXT WEEK POTENTIALLY. THANKFULLY TRY REEK AND HIS — TYREEK AND HIS FAMILY ARE OK

AFTER THE FIRE OF THEIR HOUSE. WITH A HIT!

ADAM: GREAT HIT. SPERO: JA’SIR TAYLOR COMING WITH SOME SERIOUS HEAT. JUSTIN WATSON PAYING THE PRICE.

WE JUST HAVEN’T SEEN THAT CONSISTENTLY FROM ANY OF HIS OFFENSES. WE HAVE SEEN GLIMPSELESS BUT

THEY HAVE NOT — GLIMPSES. SPERO: ERICKSON TAKES A HARD EASTON STICK HAS THROWN 41 TIMES, THIS WILL BE HIS 42ND

ATTEMPT. NEAR SIDE COMPLETE, IT IS

PARHAM. ARCH, YOU ARE WAITING FOR HIM EUSPERO: THE CHIP SHOT IS TGOOD GET THE CHARGERS A TWO-POINT

THEY HAVE A CHANCE. AND THEY HAVE HAD THEIR BACKS AGAINST THE WALL A NUMBER OF WEEKS TO TRY TO GET INTO THE

PLAYOFFS. SPERO: GABBERT RUNNING FOR A

THIRD DOWN HE’S GOT IT AND A LOT MORE.

LOOK AT GABBERT IN THE OPEN FIELD. MAYBE SOME MOTIVATION WATCHING THE YOUNG EASTON STICK RUNNING

ALL OVER THE PLACE. HE PICKS UP 26.

I HAVE NO DOUBTS THAT HE’S GOING TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM AT THE SAME LEVEL IN THE PLAYOFFS. SPERO: THE PRESSURE IS ABOUT TO

RATCHET UP MORE. GABBERT AGAIN COMING FOR MORE, FIRST DOWN KANSAS CITY. DERWIN JAMES FRUSTRATED IN FRONT

TON ACCEPTED THE HOLDER. BUTKER FOR THE LEAD WITH 54, OPERATION SOUND. BUTKER JUST SO GOOD FOR KANSAS

C CITY.

SAN FRANCISCO THE NUMBER ONE SEED AND GREEN BAY IN A WIN AND IN SCENARIO BEATING CHICAGO TO SNAG THAT FINAL WILD CARD.

STICK BURIED. MALIK HERRING TRYING TO TURN OUT THE LIGHTS FOR KANSAS CITY. THE CHARGERS HAVE TO WORK

MALIK HERRING TRYING TO TURN OUT THE LIGHTS FOR KANSAS CITY. THE CHARGERS HAVE TO WORK QUICKLY, OUT OF TIME-OUTS.

STICK BACK TO THE AIR, NEAR SIDE TO DAVIS.

CAN HE GET OUT OF BOUNDS? AND HE DOES. STOPS THE CLOCK, 25 SECONDS. THEY PICK UP 17 IT SET UP THIRD

THIS YEAR. BUT IN MY EYES THEY HAVE EVERY BIT THE SAME CHANCE OF GETTING BACK TO THE A.F.C. CHAMPIONSHIP

GAME. I KNOW THEY HAVEN’T BEEN WHAT

THEY HAVE BEEN BEFORE BUT I WOULDN’T GET AGAINST THEM. SPERO: GREAT SEASON. ADAM: YES, SIR, MY PLEASURE, MY

FRIEND. SPERO: MY PRIVILEGE.

ONE-POINT KANSAS CITY WIN. LET’S GET YOU UPDATED ON WHAT IT
