Brandon Carr, Brian Waters among Cowboys-Chiefs connections

As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, they're likely planning for the tremendous talents of one familiar face in the secondary: Brandon Carr. The former Chiefs cornerback bolted for the big money in Dallas in 2012, and now the Chiefs must deal with his coverage skills in Week 2.

In addition, the Cowboys recently signed Brian Waters to bolster the interior offensive line. For now, the Chiefs must get past him to pressure Romo, but the faces returning to Arrowhead on Sunday are likely ones that will remembered very fondly for some time.

Here's the complete list of Chiefs-Cowboys connections, via the Chiefs PR staff.
