No longer unbeaten, Kansas City now must concentrate on remaining atop the AFC West and, if the Chiefs can manage it, in front of the rest of the conference pack. The first step toward that comes Thursday night at Oakland, not exactly a favorite destination for the Chiefs through the years. Except that recently, KC doesn't lose within the division. Andy Reid's crew has won 12 in a row against the AFC West, five straight and seven of the past eight against the Raiders. Most of those wins weren't close. Читать дальше...

It wants to put capes on men who don't need them.
