Next Stop For The Chiefs: Chargers On Monday Night Football

PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs beat the Green Bay Packers 17-13 for their first -- ! -- preseason win since Aug. 28, 2008. It's the final preseason game of the year so that means the regular season is right around the corner.
The next stop for the Kansas City Chiefs: Monday Night Football. Sept. 13. San Diego Chargers. Arrowhead Stadium.
"I'm very excited," rookie Eric Berry said in the Chiefs locker room following the game. "I'm just ready to get down to it and continue what we've been doing. Now we can really focus on our game plan and we can get ready for those guys."
Indeed the Chiefs will now be dedicated solely to preparing for the Chargers. They've done some scout team stuff with the Chargers but the next 11 days will be all San Diego, all the time.
"I don't think it's going to be much of a break," LB Demorrio Williams said of the 11-day gap between their games. "We're playing against a division opponent. The main thing is for us to get ready to go Monday night. We know what San Diego is about. Last year they won this division. So when we open Monday night, it's a division game and we have to be prepared."
The stadium at the Packers game this Thursday evening was less than half full (maybe not even a third full). It would seem these last two games haven't been legitimate sell-outs.
Somehow I think that season opener on Monday Night Football against the Chargers will sell out though.

Siiiiic!
I actually met Phillip Rivers a couple time the last few weeks. Turns out he lives near me and we see him with his tribe (he has 4 kids) at Panara Bread Co. all the time. Told him I had to be true to my boys and cheer against him. Geaux Chiefs!

He played damn near the whole game and we beat him with backups. Bring it!

The Jets gave us a good blueprint of how to beat the Bolts.
Commit to the run game early and play tough defense, bringing pressure from everywhere. Get Rivers frustrated and he becomes less effective.
We can NOT turn the ball over against them this time or we will lose again.
Love it
But I think you described our game plan for every week :)
I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.

Herm never had this defense

Anyone know the ideal time to enter the stadium??
I’ve heard there’s going to be lots of pre-game stuff going on in the stadium that I don’t think I’d want to miss.
We were planning on just getting some Rosedale BBQ to go and doing a mini-tailgate and then entering. Want to get my timing right.
