The Kansas City Chiefs will expose a weak Charger run defense

Kansas City, meanwhile, has a strong backfield with emerging star running back Jamaal Charles and offseason acquisition of 1,300-yard rusher Thomas Jones.

It looks like Kansas City will try to return to the good ol' days when they gave the ball to running back Priest Holmes on pretty much every offensive play and everyone else blocked for him, resulting in one of the most productive offensive units in the past decade.

In addition, the Chiefs signed Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator, which should be good for second-year starter Matt Cassel. Weis has mentored some great quarterbacks in his past, including Tom Brady in New England from 2000-2004.

The real issue for the Chiefs is their defense. Last season, the Kansas City defense gave up over 26 points per game on average and ranked 31 st against the run.

The Chiefs jerseys acquired defensive mastermind Romeo Crennel in the offseason to help improve one of the worst defenses in the league in the 2009 NFL betting season.

On the upside, the Chargers don't look too threatening on the ground and with the suspension of pro bowl receiver Vincent Jackson for drinking and driving (again), Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers will be looking for Antonio Gates every time down the field.

Chargers receiver Malcolm Floyd steps into the number one receiver option in Jackson's absence.

If Chiefs football jerseys lockdown corner Brandon Flowers can handle Floyd one-on-one (which he should be able to do), the new 3-4 defensive scheme in Kansas City will allow for help coverage from linebackers on Chargers tight end Antonio Gates. Deep ball coverage will come from new rookie starter, strong safety Eric Berry.

The Kansas City Chiefs will expose a weak Charger run defense, which gave up at least 100 yards rushing in six straight games (excluding a meaningless Week 17 game) to finish their 2009 NFL betting season.

The total attendace for the game was 52,424. This would include fans from 43 states and four different countries. This is a new record for a soccer game in Kansas City. The old record, 37,319, was set in April of 2001 when the US National Team played at Arrowhead.

The game started off with a bang as Kansas City would get on the board early as Captain Davy Arnaud would score the first goal at the 11 minute mark. He would be assisted by Kei Kamara and Teal Bunbury.

This would remain the score until the 41st minute. A red card would be handed Dwayne Bowe out after a hard foul by the Wizards' Jimmy Conrad. This would give the Red Devils a penalty shot. Dimitar Bebratov did not miss and the score was knotted at one. Still, the damage was done as the Wizards would have to play a man down for the rest of the game.

But just a minute later, Kansas City's Kei Kamara would score the winning goal on something of a controversial shot. Kamara's ball would go off the top of the cross bar and appear to land on the white goal line, but not go behind. Since there was no way to replay the goal, the referee immediately signaled goal.

There would be a lot of scoring chances for Manchester United, but no goals for them or for the Wizards. Both teams would also sub in many players as the time ticked off to a win for Kansas City.
