SAN DIEGO -- Observed and heard in the locker room after the Kansas City Chiefs' 23-20 win over the San Diego Chargers:
Dwayne Bowe had a theory on why the Chiefs finally made a two-minute drill work with coach Andy Reid and quarterback Alex Smith. “Alex won two championships and he knows the field," Bowe said jokingly. Smith played in high school in San Diego and some of his games were at Qualcomm Stadium.
The Chiefs clearly understood the importance of this victory. Chairman Clark Hunt and general manager John Dorsey had handshakes for everyone, including myself, on the elevator ride from the press box to the locker room.
Reid's teams are now 14-2 after the bye. But he broke a two-game post-bye losing streak with this victory, so he wasn't claiming that he has any post-bye secrets. “We didn't have a lot of magic [after the bye] the last couple of years," he said.
