Injuries can ruin an entire season, and that is a truth that every team in the NFL must deal with.
The Kansas City Chiefs (8-5) have lost running back Jamaal Charles, offensive lineman Ben Grubbs and cornerback Phillip Gaines, among others, to Injured Reserve, but they have managed to sustain their season and will go for their eighth win in a row Sunday.
Their opponent, the Baltimore Ravens (4-9), have lost a staggering 18 players to Injured Reserve, and that includes starting quarterback Joe Flacco, No. 1 wide receiver Steve Smith and starting running back Justin Forsett. At this point in the season, the Ravens have acknowledged they are playing for pride.
But that doesn’t mean the Chiefs plan to take them lightly.
“It’s easy when you turn on the film to see they’re not exactly what their record shows,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said this week. “They had a few injuries, but the guys who are playing in there are playing their hearts out and I know firsthand that they’re very well-coached and that they’ll play hard.”
Filling in for Flacco will likely be 12-year veteran Matt Schaub, who didn’t play against the Seahawks last week due to shoulder and chest discomfort. In two starts for the Ravens this season, Schaub is 52 of 80 for 540 yards passing, 3 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.

5 guys down there all but one standing flat footed.

The thing is, you can let the guy catch it and then just tackle him and it's not a TD.

[George Liquor]

That was inexcusable

Exactly. They're trying to field the ball and get a pick when all they need to do is attack the damn ball and knock it down.

The last few weeks this team has given up way to many yards. I doubt we can win a playoff game if we get in but we still don't look all that great on either side of the ball. Run not great and passing is a struggle. At this point a good team would kill us. Clauses sucks but he look ok against us and they are getting ground they are moving out all over.

Andy and his coaches, are coaching not to lose, like we've got the game well in hand,,and many of the defensive players are performing with eh same mindset, WOW!

[Coach]

Honestly, I wouldn't run a prevent defense. A single deep safety should have suffice in a situation like this.

[FloridaMan88]

This team is so maddening at times.

A chance to go into the half up 24-7, turns into a closer 24-14 game with the Ravens getting the ball first after half.
