1st Q, 8:41, KC 0 STL 3
WR Eddie Drummond returns his first kick as a Chief a respectable 23 yards to the KC 27. He looked fast, breaking the run to the right side, barreling over his tackler. As expected Croyle will start at QB.

2nd Q, 4:16, KC 0 STL 3
KC holds STL to a three-and-out regardless. Jones’ punt is fielded at the KC 47 by Drummond and returned to the 41. A penalty pushes the ball to the KC 36.
