To start the 4th quarter, a bunch of backups came in for big names like Chad Johnson (who was furious), Justin Smith, Odell Thurman, etc... The Chiefs then proceeded to "run up" one more score to ice the game 37-3.

We beat them soundly that day well before they pulled their guys. I think KC Johnny's point is valid.

Cha-ching!

Thanks, McCan! And Kitna had played KC MANY times as Seattle's QB so he was not a major drop off from Palmer. I think McCan makes the point convincingly that we stomped a playoff team at the end of '05 and then folded up when the same 2 teams played on the first game of '06.
