KANSAS CITY

Week 1 recap: For the second consecutive year, the Chiefs surrendered 40 or more points in a season-opening loss. The defense simply couldn't compensate for the absence of four starters, including their best pass-rusher (Tamba Hali) and cornerback (Brandon Flowers). The offense also couldn't keep pace in a 40-24 home loss to Atlanta.

Player on the spot: Matt Cassel entered the season enshrouded with questions about whether he is a good enough quarterback to lead Kansas City to its first Super Bowl in 43 seasons. A two-interception outing against the Falcons did nothing to dispel them.

Something to feel good about: It's evident Kansas City fields its best skill-position talent since Cassel became the starter in 2009. Jamaal Charles (16 carries for 87 yards) and Dexter McCluster (six catches for 82 yards) paced the offense vs. the Falcons.

What's next: Kansas City at Buffalo (1 p.m. ET Sunday). Kansas City's defense should receive a major boost with Hali back in the starting lineup and Flowers expected to return from a preseason heel injury.
We're gonna get steamrolled again.
