Week 6: Mia stays unbeaten with FG at :01

Once again Len Dawson let the KC team down with interceptions inside the opponent's 25 yard line. This time 2 drives inside Miami's 25 yard line ended up with Dawson throwing interceptions. The last interception happened with less than 3 minutes to play. Both turnovers ended with Miami scoring. The KC coach has learned that you should not pass inside the red zone with Dawson. But since KC was an underdog the coach went for the big play which was a mistake. -contributed by Paul Blocher-

The Phish had to struggle mightily to pull this one out late as Garo Yepremian kicked a field goal with :01 left on the clock. Kansas City was able to move the ball well between the 20's against the highly touted Dolphin D, but fell into problems in the Red zone. Miami's powerful running game racked up over 200 yards on the ground, but due to penalties and excellent play calling by KC's D they found themselves in the unusual spot of 3rd and long. As a result Bob Griese was forced to throw the ball more often than he has in the past, which lead to 2 INT's and a poor statline of 10-26-89yds. Jim Kiick scored his team leading 4th TD as the defense was forced to key on FB Larry Csonka. Chiefs WR Elmo Wright was the recipient of 5 Len Dawson passes as star wideout Otis Taylor received double coverage most of the day. Kansas City was held under 100 yards rushing (22-91) by the No Name defense. Miami Safety Dick Anderson had an MVP day with 10 tackles, 1 sack and 1 huge INT of Dawson in the red zone.
