Grading the Chiefs against Washington

Rushing offense

Grade: C+

While it still lacked consistency, the ground game was more effective than it’s been all season.

Passing offense

Grade: C+

The five sacks are troubling, but the old Dwayne Bowe made his first appearance of the season.

Coaching

Grade: B-

Todd Haley gets marked down for his refusal to kick a field goal early in the game. He makes up for it with his daring play-call on the slant pass to Bowe when the Chiefs could have been trying to just run out the clock.

Rushing defense

Grade: B-

The Chiefs were fantastic other than Clinton Portis’ long run. Even then, an extraordinary effort by Mike Brown saved a touchdown.

Passing defense

Grade: A-

With three sacks and an interception, the Chiefs were able to take advantage of a weak opponent.

Special teams

Grade: B+

A blocked punt and four for four on field goals should be enough for a perfect grade. But Bobby Wade could have cost the Chiefs with his fumbled punt return.
