Some unusual or surprising Chiefs stats

[Rain Man]

These are lifted from this week's Chiefs press release.

Surprising fact #1:

Jerome Woods needs 12 more tackles to pass Derrick Thomas in all-time tackles. Thomas is currently ranked 6th and Jerome is 7th

Surprising fact #2:

Dante Hall ranks 10th all-time in the NFL in total kickoff return yards.

Surprising fact #3:

Trent Green has 36 regular-season wins as a Chief, which is a distant second among quarterbacks to Len Dawson (94). However, Trent is first in franchise history in 300-yard games (20) and in 20+ yard completions (213).

Surprising fact #4 (maybe this isn't so surprising, but it's cool):

With 20 more touches, Priest Holmes will pass Ed Podolak as the all-time Chiefs leader in touches from scrimmage.

And surprising fact #5 (this will blow you away):

The active NFL player (non-kicker) with the most consecutive games played is...









Kendall Gammon, who has played in 210 straight games dating back to 1992.

I had heard the Gammon stat before. Always nice to know those snaps are going to be good.

[Bowser]

Cool.

[Bob Dole]

The Hall stat is actually pretty wild until you stop to realize he gets a lot of return opportunities because our defense has sucked so bad.

[Rain Man]

I just never would've guessed that he was that high. I still think of him as a young player.

[Bowser]

True, but to be that high in just over four years in the NFL? Impressive.

hehe it never would have crossed my mind... i tend to forget the bad things in life and remember the good.

yea hes a bad bad man...I heard about the Priest stat..the other ones are new to me

[Deberg_1990]

Too bad Woods hasnt made a tackle in about 5 years. He would have passed Thomas alot sooner.

[leviw]

Gammon is awesome. Seriously, it's so underappreciated that we never have to worry about a bad/low/high snap on a punt, field goal or PAT. Yes, he's just doing his job, but he's doing it well.

(BTW, I've been knocking on wood while typing this with one hand)

[KCChiefsMan]

here is another,
LaDanian Tomlinson has thrown for more TDs than Trent Green this year, I hope that changes tonight because I have both of them on my fantasy team

[Skip Towne]

Also, Gammons is a local product. Pittsburg, Kansas.

I did not know that.

[leviw]

He can also balance a football on his nose.

[Rain Man]

He can juggle, too.

[Bob Dole]

Definitely. He wasn't much but a target for complaints for his first two seasons.

Though given the nature of the return game and roster limits, Bob Dole would guess that the career of a player who is primarily a return specialist is generally fairly short.

Here's a factoid for ya:

Priest Holmes is the only non-Bronco RB to rush for over 100 yards in a single game at the new Invesco.

[Phobia]

Too bad Woods hasnt made a tackle in about 5 years. He would have passed Thomas alot sooner.

Woods had a great special teams tackle last week. Saved 6 points, too.

[Skip Towne]

Here's a factoid for ya:

Priest Holmes is the only non-Bronco RB to rush for over 100 yards in a single game at the new Invesco.
Give LJ 15 carries and we'll double that number.

[htismaqe]

Give LJ 15 carries and we'll double that number.

:D

The first thing I thought when I posted it was "And Larry Johnson is about to become the 2nd"...
