KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Nov. 21, 2006) -- Longtime Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt has always wanted his team to host a Thanksgiving game since the AFL-NFL merger. The NFL finally rewarded him with quite a matchup.

The Chiefs will try to win their fifth straight home game and pull into a tie with the Denver Broncos Thursday night when the AFC West rivals meet.

Kansas City hosted games on Thanksgiving three times during its first three seasons in the American Football League. Hunt's team never got a chance to host one since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, and always wanted other cities to get the chance to host.

With the league's television network broadcasting live games for the first time, it was a natural choice for Kansas City (6-4) to host the first Thursday night contest of the package.

"I think it's important in a lot of ways," Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said. "I think it's important for Lamar Hunt that this game is here. That's a good gesture by the league letting us play in this game.

"It's the first time, but I think probably the most important thing is it's the first NFL Network game that they're actually going to televise to a national audience. So, they're excited about it and I think our ownership and management had great foresight to think about this. It's coming to fruition now."

The importance is also reflected in the standings with Denver (7-3) and Kansas City both chasing first-place San Diego (8-2) in the AFC West. The Broncos are 3-1 in the division and the Chiefs 2-1.

The Chiefs have won the last three home meetings in the series and looking to avenge a 9-6 overtime loss Sept. 17 in Denver. They lost despite Larry Johnson's 126 yards on 27 carries as Javon Walker had five catches for 79 yards, including a 24-yard reception that set up Jason Elam 's 39-yard field goal in the extra session.

"They're a great home football team and (with) the holiday it'll be louder than probably I've ever heard it," Denver receiver Rod Smith said. "It's a great challenge for us as a team to really see where we are."

Kansas City played that game without Trent Green, who returned to action last weekend in a 17-13 victory over Oakland. Green, who missed eight games due to a concussion, completed 9-of-16 passes for 102 yards as Johnson -- the NFL's leading rusher with 1,045 yards -- shouldered the load with 154 yards on 31 carries.



"I sensed his faculties were good," Edwards said about Green. "He was well aware of everything that was going on -- the game wasn't too fast for him."

The Chiefs are hoping All-Pro left guard Brian Waters will be back on the field after missing the last two games with a knee injury. Waters has returned to practice and is unsure whether he'll be ready.

"I'm trying to see how things are feeling," Waters said. "We don't know for sure about Thursday. I feel better. I'm still not 100 percent."

Edwards indicated that tight end Tony Gonzalez and linebacker Derrick Johnson are both questionable. Gonzalez, who has a team-high three TD receptions, sat out last week's game with a sprained left shoulder.

Denver will have a shorter turnaround than Kansas City after losing 35-27 to San Diego on Sunday night. The Broncos blew a 24-7 lead in the third quarter and surrendered a season high in points.

"It's an opportunity," Smith said about Thursday's game. "We played on national TV last week and we didn't finish the way we needed to finish. We got a chance to redeem ourselves."

The Broncos received bad news Tuesday when they learned that strong safety Nick Ferguson would be lost for the year. Ferguson underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn medial meniscus in his left knee, an injury he suffered in the first quarter of Sunday's loss.

"It's depressing," cornerback Domonique Foxworth said. "He's been playing really well for us, so it's really disappointing. He finished the game (on a hurt knee). The fact he finished says a lot. We're all proud of him and hope to get him back for next season."

Denver's Jake Plummer is completing just 54.3 percent of his passes and has a quarterback rating of 69.7 -- both lows in the AFC. Plummer was 13-of-28 for 183 yards and no touchdowns in Sunday's loss.

The Broncos are the first team other than Detroit or Dallas to play on Thanksgiving in consecutive days after beating Dallas in overtime last season.

The home team has won the last eight meetings in the series.

The Broncos are battling doubts right now. They haven’t been real impressive recently.

Neither have the Chiefs, who won but didn’t look great doing it.

The Broncos defense has lost some of its mojo – they shut down the Chargers for awhile but let them back up. And Jake Plummer has faced some heat, but he’ll rebound.

Denver is still a good team, better than Kansas City if all things were equal. The Broncos face a tough task on the road, but their defense will pick it up, and will need to if the Chiefs get tight end Tony Gonzalez back from injury, as reported.

Denver should stop Larry Johnson and survive a close game.

Pick: Broncos.

[ludo21]

GOO BRONCOS!!!!

Whoever is the starter at QB, or RB, or tE, may they run wild and do everything free of TO's and make plays!!!

[Popps]

Headed out for dinner with the fam.

Have a good one, y'all. See you at game time.

SWEEEEEEP the CHEEEEAPS.

[Bronx33]

Every dog has it's day

[Popps]

Well, Jake or Jay?

Have they showed our guys warming up yet?

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Show everyone you still want to keep your job Jake and come out of here with a win

[broncogary]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Nov. 21, 2006) -- Longtime Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt has always wanted his team to host a Thanksgiving game since the AFL-NFL merger. The NFL finally rewarded him with quite a matchup.

I remember Bobby Bell returning an onside kick for a TD in a Thanksgiving Day game against the Broncos.

I guess it must have been before the merger.

[labronx]

I dont get the point of the Shefter article unless Jay starts today

[-Slap-]

Mic'ed up Al Wilson.

[Clockwork Orange]

Shefter was interviewed on the local Fox station before the game and he stood by his story.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Shefter was interviewed on the local Fox station before the game and he stood by his story.

The guy still has too many sources with the team to just go off half-cocked with a story like this

[broncosteven]

Lets go Broncos!

[broncosteven]

Is it the food & beer or is Gumbel crooked?

[Popps]

The guy still has too many sources with the team to just go off half-cocked with a story like this

If it's true, Shanahan is going to put a hit out on the guy.

Of course, if we lose... and Jake plays poorly, it may have happened anyway.

[SYEKNOD27]

Go Chiefs!!

[labronx]

Fudge!

Freakin Plummer again!!!!!

I cant stand to watch his dumb a$$ play anymore.

F**K!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

[broncosteven]

Pimp Daddy Neon Leon Likes us!

[eddie mac]

Come out of the blocks fast, Establish the run, keep the ball and shut them sisters and cousins up once and for all.

[broncosteven]

Did Jake have a good pregame cry or what?

[-Slap-]

Man, they just showed Jake on the sideline. He looks like he's coming off a three day drunk and afraid to come home.

[Popps]

Sorry y'all.

Jakey-time.


Keep it real, Jake.

[eddie mac]

Shanny's a stubborn old fvcker though and I wouldn't be surprised if this is a major rocket up Plummer's ass. Dont produce an excellent game and your out to fvck.

[labronx]

Man, they just showed Jake on the sideline. He looks like he's coming off a three day drunk and afraid to come home.

same thing i was thinking.

I've had it with him man, he's a bonehead, just ruins my Bronco games.
I never thought I'd say this but Shanny is a wussy.

[eddie mac]

Look at the size of the arms on Cutler.

[bloodsunday]

The guy still has too many sources with the team to just go off half-cocked with a story like this

You know Shanahan has a precedent for this... just not with a rookie QB and a playoff caliber team. Remember Griese's last game against Oakland, Christmas Eve as I recall? Shanahan pretty much handled it the same way. He threw down the gauntlet and Griese wilted in the challenge. That was Griese's last game as a Broncos QB. He was fired.

[labronx]

Sorry y'all.

Jakey-time.


Keep it real, Jake.

What the hell is "keep it real jake"
:clown:

[broncosteven]

How many Picks does jake throw tonight? I go with 3

[-Slap-]

Did you get involved in this game, HAT?

[bloodsunday]

Go Mike Bell. Get Nash some more carries tonight.

[eddie mac]

Mike Bell for 4

[footstepsfrom#27]

Fudge!

Freakin Plummer again!!!!!

I cant stand to watch his dumb a$$ play anymore.

****!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

[eddie mac]

"Wasn't a bad throw" ffs it was behind him you knob.

[HAT]

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Great pass Jake, way to throw behind another WR

[Clockwork Orange]

Opponent starting with great field position. What else is new?

[broncosteven]

Quitterson for 15 yards

[bloodsunday]

Defense may need to pitch a shut out.

Man I freakn' hate Kennison.

[footstepsfrom#27]

Wow, a pick on the first drive
Yeah...but is that necessarily a BAD thing? ;D

[Clockwork Orange]

How big of a hole does he have to dig tonight before we see Cutler?

[broncosteven]

2nd & 1 LJ for 9 yards

[eddie mac]

Nice play Darrent give LJ another 5 yds.

Not impressed with Gumble so far

[labronx]

[bloodsunday]

How big of a hole does he have to dig tonight before we see Cutler?

His first meaningful action on a short week at Arrowhead.

You can't seriously believe that it would help things do you?

[DB84FAN]

What? Did Collinsworth say no one can cover Dante Hall? Yeah he's a huge threat in this league.

[broncosteven]

LJ no gain. 2nd & goal

[Clockwork Orange]

His first meaningful action on a short week at Arrowhead.

You can't seriously believe that it would help things do you?

The way Plummer has been playing, I can't see how it could hurt.

[DB84FAN]

[eddie mac]

Huge 3rd down, make the damn stop here.

[broncosteven]

[DB84FAN]

hmm.. interception will be good, but i will taKE MISSED FG

[broncosteven]

IN-COM-Plete 4th & goal - FG good.

Broncos 0 Joke Blunder 3

[-Slap-]

Well, the offense screws the defense right out of the gate and the defense holds.

[Clockwork Orange]

The defense bails out the offense again and holds them to three after starting on a short field.

[Popps]

Jeesh, this broadcast crew makes me want to take a nap.

[bloodsunday]

Plummer 7 Broncos 0

Care to revise... I thought I was the doomsday guy.

[eddie mac]

This coverage sucks BTW, the commentators are crap.

[DB84FAN]

This Could Be Last Drive For Plummer, If He Doesn't Score... Jay Is In

[broncosteven]

Send the Mustard, Alexander, & Sapp on fly routes next drive Shanny, Jake is going to throw a pick to the DLine anyway.

[DB84FAN]

I Want To See Jay Next Week, But If This Week.. It Is Required. Just Do It...... Want To Win This For Sure

[Clockwork Orange]

Come on, Jake. Get it together.

[Spider]

Way to go D ....... Ian Gold hasnt been a dissapointment , glad we got him back now

[labronx]

What would happen if Plummer throws a pick right now on his first throw of the second drive

[broncosteven]

I called Mustard! 9 yard gain to 32

[Clockwork Orange]

Bryant Gumbel is friggin' awful.

[DB84FAN]

1st down. this should get to the end zone

[bloodsunday]

okay a first down.... slow the tempo down with the run game.

[bloodsunday]

face mask?

[Spider]

Holding Denver

[broncosteven]

MBell off right tackle for 1st down

Pass to Mbell 1 yard gain

Flag Holding Broncos

[-Slap-]

Bryant Gumbel is friggin' awful.

He's really mailing it in, isn't he?

[Popps]

Nice protection guys. Ugh.

[Jens1893]

Bryant Gumbel is friggin' awful.

He sounds like he´s 12 years old or something.

[DB84FAN]

What would happen if Plummer throws a pick right now on his first throw of the second drive

you will be happy, we wont be... any more questions ?

[-Slap-]

WTF was that?

[Spider]

3 rd and a long taxi ride

[Clockwork Orange]

Plummer's pass closer to Cutler than the intended receiver.

[broncosteven]

Blunder throws it away - 4 wide 3rd & 19

[DB84FAN]

i put the radio commentary and turned off the tv commentary, easy solution

[Clockwork Orange]

Another rotten throw. Punt.

[fatcard]

hmmm.... fake punt!

[Spider]

WTF~ we are sucking it up bad on offense

[Clockwork Orange]

Yet another opponent winning the field position battle. Week after week after week.

[bloodsunday]

Any complaints about Jake on that drive? Hard to blame him for poor protection and drops.

The poor protection is why I don't want to see Cutler tonight.

[DB84FAN]

turnover time to create any momentum and take the crowd out of the game

[broncosteven]

KFC 1st & 10 at the 37

Great Fpos again.

Blunder cannot hit broad side of barn. We are seeing the destruction of a mans career before our eyes.

[eddie mac]

Our offense is terrible.

[labronx]

you will be happy, we wont be... any more questions ?
what will happen next if Plummer turns the ball over, will he sit?

[bloodsunday]

Another fine effort by Ernster... 38 yards. Aaaahhhhhh.

[troya900]

WTF~ we are sucking it up bad on offense

If plumber would have halfway decent accuracy maybe the offense would move a little.

[Clockwork Orange]

Nice ankle tackle by Cox.

[footstepsfrom#27]

WTF~ we are sucking it up bad on offense
Yeah...but is that necessarily a BAD thing? ;D

[broncosteven]

LJ off Left for 2 yards, NICE Tackle by COX!

2nd & 7 LJ for 3

[Sgt Sauce]

Why are we only throwing the ball to Alexander, Kircus and Mustard?


CMON DEFENSE, LETS MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN FOR US!!

[Spider]

Cox excellent tackle

[bloodsunday]

Good start on LJ. We need the D to be the D they were the first 6 weeks or we'll be licking our wounds.

[-Slap-]

The defense is hanging tough.

[Clockwork Orange]

Three and out. Solid work, defense.

[eddie mac]

Great job again D.

[troya900]

Whoo thanks for the plumber pass TrINT. Time to punt.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

DWill is so ****ing terrible this year at returning kicks.

[bloodsunday]

Yeah...but is that necessarily a BAD thing? ;D

If you are suggesting we should suck just so that we can see Cutler, then you are an idiot. That's messed up.

[RicksDawg]

Ok....run The Ball.

[Spider]

this sucks

[eddie mac]

ffs Darrent fair catch that. Special Teams and Offense should go home and let the D play 3 ways.

[Clockwork Orange]

Special teams fit for the special olympics per usual.

[Popps]

It's just amazing how poorly we do in field position in every single game.

You'd think just by luck of the draw we'd eventually get a nice runback or NOT pinned inside our own 10 on every punt.

[broncosteven]

Sorry they are not putting up the down & distance fast enough.

on 3rd down green bounces it.

Flag on punt fielded within 10, Holding denver no field marker has to be within 5. KFC great F pos, Denver BAD

[DB84FAN]

is there Anything happening on this drive ?

[Spider]

It is clear we wont let diaper boy beat us ......

[-Slap-]

Please get a first down here. At least one first down.

[bloodsunday]

It's just amazing how poorly we do in field position in every single game.

You'd think just by luck of the draw we'd eventually get a nice runback or NOT pinned inside our own 10 on every punt.

We need our roid-raging punter back to help us flip this thing. Ernster is average at best.

[DB84FAN]

what will happen next if Plummer turns the ball over, will he sit?

i can see you have a mask, please take it off and look for yourself. he has been sitting down till now this evening. Let him stand up first and then we will see what happens.

If he does, you guys might lose the game. so ask him to stand up

[Spider]

Nash had daylight

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Damn, Nash close to breaking one for decent yardage if he doesn't trip himself

[broncogary]

It's just amazing how poorly we do in field position in every single game.

You'd think just by luck of the draw we'd eventually get a nice runback or NOT pinned inside our own 10 on every punt.

Or, maybe the offense could move the ball. Ha!

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Wow, a bootleg. But this is KC, they never seem to learn.

[Spider]

now that was Broncos football

[Popps]

Well, we're throwing to the TEs this week.....

exclusively.

[bloodsunday]

There is the bootleg. Keep em' honest Mike & Mike.

[Clockwork Orange]

There's the bootleg. Well done.

[broncosteven]

1st & 10 denver just inside the 5 Nash the RB less than 1 yard,

2nd & 9.

boot pass to Mustard 1st down to 19! Ugly throw.

[Clockwork Orange]

Jesus, tuck the ball away, Jake.

[Spider]

Jake Protect That Damn Ball You Idiot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DB84FAN]

this drive is going for a TD.. watch KC fans

[Hercules Rockefeller]

That run play looked like ****.

[broncosteven]

1st down Jake bootleg broken play gain of 4 Walker wide open down field

Nash on 2nd down loss on carry 3rd & 8

[bloodsunday]

That was either a terrible call or a terrible decision by Nash. We gotta hit em' up the gut with the run. They pursue too well.

In comes Foster.

[broncosteven]

Meadows down, looks like we get another slacker back on the team

[Spider]

Meadows hurt his manginia

[footstepsfrom#27]

If you are suggesting we should suck just so that we can see Cutler, then you are an idiot. That's messed up.
Is it really?

[broncosteven]

need to convert on 3rd down tonight.

[RicksDawg]

What happened to Meadows?

[Spider]

short of the first

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Collinsworth talking of no drop-off and Hali beats Foster and hits Jake.

[DB84FAN]

hmm.. now stop them deep

[snowspot66]

collinsworth jsut said foster is a lateral move from meadows

he should just shut up now

[broncosteven]

3rd & 8 blunder under pressure throws to Walker 2 yards short, Broncos Punt. Hall tackled at 32

[Clockwork Orange]

Good punt coverage.

[bloodsunday]

[DomCasual]

I hate Dante Hall.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Great tackling D

[broncosteven]

LJ breaks one off to 49. 1st down

[eddie mac]

Miss, miss, miss, miss

[DB84FAN]

why is foster playing ? jesus can we stop. this D sucks , i dont know what else you want to say. they just cant stop good RB;s

[Clockwork Orange]

Poor tackling and Johnson breaks one for 20. Gotta wrap up.

[broncosteven]

Green incomplete to Quitterson

2nd & 10

[DomCasual]

I hate Eddie Kennison.

[bloodsunday]

Hey the Chiefs are running the ball. Maybe we should try that? Just a thought. Those DEs are just pinning their ears back and coming.

[Clockwork Orange]

They've got Champ covering Gonzales. He lined up with the LB's earlier.

[eddie mac]

Come on D

[broncosteven]

2nd & 10 LJ no gain

3rd & 10 - screen short of 1st by 2-3 yards

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Nice tackle by Champ to stop them short on 3rd down

[bloodsunday]

Great tackle by Champ. You gotta punt here Herm.

[Clockwork Orange]

Another stand by the defense. More solid work.

The offense has to get something going.

[Popps]

God, Foster blows.

We're not protecting for ****.

[broncosteven]

KFC punts on 4th to 18 Fair Catch - end of 1st Q.

[Clockwork Orange]

Broncos catch a break after a pretty short punt by Colquitt.

[-Slap-]

Wow, Herm is gutless.

With the Broncos pathetic offense, I can't believe he wouldn't go for that. Its not like we could make them pay.

[DomCasual]

They're punter may only kick it 25 yards, but he sure puts a nice spin on the ball.

[DB84FAN]

if offense doesn't help defense by staying on the field and scoring some this drive.. our defense will crack down fast

[listopencil]

Why is foster out there? Meadows played better. Is Meadows hurt?

[eddie mac]

If we can keep KC to 3 points I think we have a chance.

[Clockwork Orange]

Nice job making something out of nothing by Bell.

[bloodsunday]

God, Foster blows.

We're not protecting for ****.

It's Jake's fault.

Come on guys, we survied the first round. Let's get it going here. This our quarter.

[broncosteven]

1st & 10 at own 18 bell adjusts on run for 3 yards 2 KFC players injured

[eddie mac]

Meadows has injured his hamstring

[Clockwork Orange]

Rod stretches for the first down.

[broncosteven]

HOT ROD catches 1st down

1st & 10 at denver 28 MBell run to Denver 40!

[Hercules Rockefeller]

If we can keep KC to 3 points I think we have a chance.

Don't know, 3 points is a lot for this offense to put up if the defense doesn't give them a short field

[Spider]

Nice run Bell

[DomCasual]

Okay, here we go. Keep it going.

[bloodsunday]

Great running play.

[Clockwork Orange]

Offense starting to move a bit.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Good play by Jake there to get the ball to Johnson

[broncosteven]

1st & 10 Blunder to KJ on busted roll out to left.

[bloodsunday]

There you go Mike & Mike, slow down that pass rush. Good coaching.

[Clockwork Orange]

Gotta convert here.

[Spider]

lets convert here

[eddie mac]

Offensive line is fvcking pathetic tonight.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

What a terrible play on 3rd down.

[broncosteven]

2nd & 4 Bell up middle for 1-2

3rd & 2 - Bell stuffed for loss of 2 on play. would have been nice spot for a boot there.

[bloodsunday]

Oy. The Chiefs were bringn' the house there. That's okay we flipped the field position.

[eddie mac]

We got a break on a **** punt. KC at the 10.

[Clockwork Orange]

Finally, they manage to back an opponent up for a change. Ernster got a lucky bounce on that shank.

[broncosteven]

Denver punts ball takes denver bounce to KFC 10 hall fields & is tackled. Time out

[DomCasual]

I can't wait until we're not afraid to throw on 3rd down.

[want2bAbronco2]

i dont think they know what a boot is anymore!

[Don Flamenco]

Is Bryant Gumble blind?

Four yards not, "maybe three"

2 yards, not "1 yard run"

[Spider]

looks like a typical chief Bronco game

[eddie mac]

We need a turnover or something that puts us deep in KC territory.

[bloodsunday]

What a terrible play on 3rd down.

The Chiefs are doing what they always do at home... selling out and hoping to force big plays. It's up to the coaches to counter that with some stuff that will catch them off-guard.

All in all I think that was okay. No mistake, flip the field position. Let's win this sucker 12 - 6 and get outta here.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Thanks for that useless bit of knowledge Bryant

[bloodsunday]

The D is playing LJ well, like they did last year. The question is whether they can sustain it for 4 quarters.

[broncosteven]

KFC 1st & 10 from their own 12 LJ gain of 1

2nd & 9 - green 1st down to TG

[RicksDawg]

Any idea on how bad Meadows is hurt?

[Clockwork Orange]

Thanks for that useless bit of knowledge Bryant

If they didn't want to fire him for his comments on Real Sports, can they fire him for being a ****ty announcer? He is godawful.

[broncosteven]

1st down LJ for 7

2nd & 3 - LJ gets the 1st not much else.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

This DL is so bad

[eddie mac]

pathetic

[bloodsunday]

Everyone that wants to give Jake ****... remember when we could run the ball?

[-Slap-]

If they didn't want to fire him for his comments on Real Sports, can they fire him for being a ****ty announcer? He is godawful.

Might be why he's obviously mailing it in. He knows he's going to be Kornheisered at the end of the year.

[Spider]

damn

[Clockwork Orange]

TrINT with all day in the pocket.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Whoa, a pass completed against DWill. That has to be a first this season.

[broncosteven]

KFC 1st & 10 - Mbennet 1st down carry to 47. Cheefs came to play don't think Denver did

1st & 10 - 1st down to S Parker

[bloodsunday]

No pass rush at all.

[HAT]

Wow... I almost forgot what it looked like to see a QB hit a WR in the hands

[Popps]

Man, absolutely no pressure on Trent Green.

Same old ****.

[bloodsunday]

Ekuban got raped by the OT on that last pass play... no call.

[Clockwork Orange]

Whoa, another pass completed against DWill. That has to be a first this season.

And on a comeback route, too. How unexpected.

the KC train is rolling and it isn't even 3rd qtr yet.

[Fusionfrontman]

so much for darrent not having a sophmnore slump..dont get me wrong i love th guy, fantastic corner but hes got so much arrogance about his play it tends to be all or nothing withhim.
Anyomne else feel that way?

1st & 10 LJ runs for another 1st down. They are frustrating me if not this Denver d

1st & 10 - end run from S Parker, no gain. Bad call KFC.

2nd & 10 - 4 wide green scrambles for 7

[Spider]

I guess the refs missed that hold

[bloodsunday]

Holy **** this game is flying by... 5:04 in the half!

[WakeUpCall]

Cheaters!

[eddie mac]

mistake after mistake.

[fido]

they really do not look very good at all, to say the least

[Clockwork Orange]

God damn penalty hands them a first down. Crucial mistake.
