The Character of a Win

From the FanPosts  -Joel

For people of my generation, November 22 holds a special significance.  We can all remember where we were and what we were doing at a certain moment on the very tragic 1963 iteration of that date.

It may turn out that this date may assume a similar significance for Chiefs fans.  If it turns out that Scott Pioli and Todd Haley can, in fact, turn this franchise around, it's quite possible that the beginning of that turnaround will be dated November 22, 2009 - the day the Chiefs knocked off the world champion Steelers.

So be sure to make note of exactly where you were and what you were doing as you watched Ryan Succop kick the 22 yard overtime field goal to get this win.  In a decade or two, you may be called upon to remember.

You gotta love simple words like this from Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles.  I don't think I could have said it any better.

"I wish I could get into the end zone every time I step on the field."

If you missed the beginning of the Chiefs 27-24 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, then you missed one of the highest points of the Chiefs season through 11 weeks.

"...On Thursday in their offensive team meeting, they're installing their red zone offense, inside the 20. Todd Haley comes up to Cassel and he says, 'Listen, we're putting a new play in this week. Something I saw in the Steeler's film.' Cassel saw it, a little shovel pass in the middle to Jamaal Charles. He called it on Sunday and as soon as the play was called, in his head Cassel said, 'Touchdown.'"

Peter just told the story on Football Night In America. A 3 day old play. Touchdown.

With Andy Studebaker, Chiefs Don't Miss Mike Vrabel in Win Over Steelers

When the news on Kansas City Chiefs LB Mike Vrabel came down that he wouldn't play today, and other hints that he might be out for several more weeks began to seep out, I'll admit it -- I really thought this defense was toast.  I know how much the players, especially the linebackers, respect and lean on him for support and guidance. 

Remember, it's a pretty young unit so a guy like Vrabel is a huge tool for those guys.

However....a funny thing happened today.  Vrabel's replacement turned out to be pretty good.  He's from a D-III school and has been nicknamed "Venice Beach" by the head coach for his, um, body (and his tendency to take his shirt off).

In fact, Studebaker made what I would argue was the biggest defensive play, heck biggest play period, in the second half today.

After the jump, more on Studebaker's two interceptions, why Derrick Johnson will razz him and why Studebaker not scoring made Todd Haley cringe (in a good way).
