Chiefs vs. 49ers: Brandon Flowers Credits Film Study On Interception

by Joel Thorman on Sep 27, 2010 8:00 AM CDT in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Season

On Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas City Chiefs made one of their few mistakes with a QB Matt Cassel interception.

The Chiefs and 49ers were scoreless at the time but the interception had set the 49ers up at their own 24-yard line.

We would file that one under Mistakes You Can Not Make.

The good thing is that CB Brandon Flowers was there to bail them out. The 49ers were facing a third down and QB Alex Smith looked to the right sideline for QR Michael Crabtree.

The situation caught Flowers' eyes from something he had seen on tape. "Crabtree likes to run the flats and angle it back in for a slant," Flowers said. "I just played what I saw on film."

What he saw on film was potential for an interception and he took care of business when it hit him. Flowers popped the ball in the air and it landed neatly in his hands while falling to the ground.

"I told myself I need to be more opportunistic and come down with the ball when I can make a play," he said.

Speaking of opportunistic, the next play saw WR Dexter McCluster take a catch and run into the end zone.

Flowers only needs 3 more interceptions to tie his amount from last season

I think Flowers will make the Pro Bowl this season. He is consistently showing that he is a shut down corner. Does anybody love the way he shakes his head and smiles after they throw at him and he defends it? Flowers has some swagger and I love it!

Flowers is a stud,

if he keeps playing like this there is no way he wont make his first pro bowl. Revis who?

Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.

I think more people are taking notice but

it’s a shame I turn on ESPN and NFL network and they don’t even have a segment for the Chiefs! They blab on the Cowboys and Vikings so long that you woulda thought the NFL consisted of 12 teams. Geeze oh well guess well be underdogs forever.
And BFlowers has had a heck of a season so far. I was showing my friend at a bar who was a Cowboys fan what a true complete corner looks like. Even he was amazed at the plays that were being made

Chiefs start 4-0. Yes the colts lose to us.
Cassel will be our QBotF. The hate needs to stop NOW

I think one of his best plays of the day wasn't his interception.

It was when he peeled off of his coverage and jumped back and swatted the pass away. It looked like they were playing a cover 2 and he had a receiver infront of him while another one looked to run a post corner over him. He reacted to it and was able to get back and make a play on the ball. Dude is a stud

Flowers knew the play better than the offense did...

He flat out beat Crabtree to where the ball was going to be thrown.

I know it’s early but this defense is looking legit. Players seem to be reacting and flying around rather than thinking and reacting slowly. To me this game was 31-3…I know that final touchdown officially counts but to me it really doesn’t

When they started calling timeouts I told my g/f right away someone will get hurt.

It always seems to end up that way when a coach wants to extend the game for no reason. And BOOM (kinda like those nike commercials) last play of the game their #1 receiver injures his knee. Last year it was the Browns getting Josh Cribbs blown up because the qb told him to keep the final play alive while being down 14. When will teams learn? Accept the defeat and work their asses off during the week.

That last TD

shouldn’t have ever happened. That was BS that they got the timeout… especially when Singletary was walking himself onto the field. Refs should have called that one in my opinion.

If you can sack groceries, you can sack a QB... right?

Also I read this on BFTB. wanted to comment but I didn't because they Just lost

“Don’t mean to overgenarlize, But it’s been our pattern for a while now.
KC, as improved as they are? They won’t last against Indy, Tennessee, Houston, Denver for two or against SD in December.”

I love it when the cocky SD fans who havent won anything feels like they were gonna be handed another AFC West Title.. Sike.
They still have a chance but they must finish off the teams that are inferior talent wise. Time to chug the Koolaid. passes the Koolaid to Tomahawk & power trap83

No koolaid for me please...

I’ve been a silent supporter without the need of the delicous drink. Now it’s time to get the work done in the bye and prepare for the Colts who to me don’t seem like the same team they have been the last few years. Think J. Charles can have a huge game against them

I believe you.. were all supporters in the end but if you don't want to drink then so be it

But I will. I been believed this team can do it. Just read where I say we’d be 4-0.. Im still standing by it.

Just remember they're in California..

They don’t have real fans. Might be the biggest city of Bandwagon fans in the country.

Also it's hard to be lucky when you're

in rushing offense
Top 5 in rushing defense
Top 5 in points allowed

I know I’m leaving some out but it also helps have Arrowhead being back to well um Arrowhead. Think Kansas City is back on board with what this team is doing and these wins have energized this city. I’m hoping for this to continue

Let's be real here....

in points allowed per game. After tonights MNF game that may drop a couple…. but as we speak Chiefs are second only to Steelers in that category.

Arrowhead was not the same

I looked around at all the empty seats and told my wife it will take a while before the fans come back . I have no voice this morning and it feels so good . go chiefs.

read this one again, kids, and rememeber: THIS is why it pays off to STUDY HARD

one thing about the game yesterday … Indy, Houston et al will be looking at the Chiefs in a new way and planning for our running game … things USUALLY have a tendency to level off over the course of a season, and a long season it is with a long ways to go …

the next couple of games could go either way, but it sure is nice to go into these games thinking “we COULD win” instead of “we’re gonna get hammered”

Koolaid? nope, Reality Water … but it sure tastes good after the desert we’ve been stuck on in the past

OK, I knowthis is probably not a popular position

I know the coaches now are all great and everything, but I do gotta say, regardless of what you thought about Herm and some of the scouts before, they did bring some real play makers to this team, especially that last draft. A big part of the core of this team that is winning (Dorsey, Albert, Flowers, Charles, Carr, B. Richardson) came from that last draft, and they picked one guy up on the waiver wire that year that has stuck (Studebaker).

I think this year proves the new guys can also draft pretty well…

Great for Flowers, and I am glad the Chiefs are winning, but this is the result of a 1 year makeover, not a 3-4 year one. I really do not want Herm coaching my team right now, but I do think he probably made some good decisions for us in the long-run on personnel that have reaped benefits this year. But damn, that last team of his was painful to watch…
