Poe only played 14 snaps, but he deserves a round of applause for giving you that much. He missed two of the last three practices last week with a back issue, and he still started the game and played well as long as he could.

The guy is in a contract year and he tried to tough it out for his team in a massive game, anyway.
Ware was the man last week against Tampa Bay, and while he still had the lion's share of snaps Sunday, West cut into his workload significantly, which is something to monitor.

Andy Reid takes his opportunity to defend Alex Smith | ESPN
Reid hasn't wavered publicly in his support of Smith since he brought the veteran quarterback to Kansas City as the starter in 2013. The opportunity to make a change in his starting quarterback has never been so ripe for Reid with the Chiefs as it's been this season.

Anatomy of the Kansas City Chiefs improbable win at Denver | The Kansas City Star
It seldom looks smooth or easy, and the offense has to be much better if the Chiefs are going to take this anywhere meaningful: You can’t score fewer than two offensive touchdowns a game (21 in 11 games) and expect to win championships. Just the same, as of the latest episode of "As The Season Turns," the "find a way" persona is defining the Chiefs far more than their liabilities or penchant for getting themselves into predicaments in the first place.
