Pittsburgh at Kansas City: November 22, 2009
Arrowhead Stadium experienced few Sunday smiles in 2009 as the Chiefs struggled to produce just one home victory on the season. The exception, however, came in late November when the defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers paid Kansas City a visit.

Like the other Chiefs rookies, Jonathan Baldwin and Rodney Hudson have yet to take the field in any kind of official capacity because of the ongoing NFL lockout.Nonetheless, they’re doing what they can to become part of the community. Baldwin and Hudson, the Chiefs two top draft picks, were both in Joplin this week as part of the team’s relief effort to help the tornado-torn town.
Shane Bannon, the Chiefs’ seventh-round pick, also went to Joplin.

On my trip, I met Ruby Durall, a 78-year-old grandmother who found shelter inside her home. When I asked if she was scared, Ruby said it’s hard to be afraid while on your knees praying.
Somehow the Chiefs and I writing for The Examiner came up, but I dismissed it as unimportant compared to what Ruby had to deal with. Ruby, though. stopped me. Her eyes grew passionate as she told me about the number of Chief fans in what used to be her neighborhood. Ruby reminded me that a person still needs something fun to think about.
That’s why I’m glad the Chiefs went to Joplin, because as I walked around Joplin, football and the Chiefs gave plenty something else to ponder.
Joplin Puts Lockout, Chiefs Into Perspective from The Examiner
"I mean, the decision I made, I’m happy with it. But at the same time, I still have that thought in the back of my mind, like, ‘What if I would have stayed and played my last year?’ That always runs through the back of my mind . . . I loved playing for the University of Tennessee and I love playing for the Chiefs, so it was a win-win situation. But at the same time, it’s kind of bittersweet."Eric Berry Has No Regrets, But Misses Knoxville from Go Vols Xtra

"Tyler Palko is my favorite in the NFL," McGough says of the former West Allegheny and Pitt star now with the Kansas City Chiefs, "because he's my friend."
Their friendship runs so deep that Palko teamed with the McGough family to form TC House, a nonprofit organization designed to build a group home in Imperial for adults like Chris with Down syndrome.

"I think you will see more hamstrings being pulled and the ball on the ground more because there’s been no contact. Teams that are good like the Chiefs with quarterback Matt Cassel, the Colts with Peyton Manning, the Saints with Drew Brees, the Patriots with Tom Brady, those teams I think will do well. But teams like Jacksonville with a new coach and a new quarterback will have problems.Former Quaterback Theismann Predicts End to NFL Lockout from The Kansas City Kansan
