The Kansas City Chiefs won their first game since mid November and everyone is excited about that. Kansas City controls their own destiny to get into the postseason, which means they absolutely have to win their last two games.

The Chiefs really didn’t have a lot of bad aspects in this game against Oakland, but I made it a point to write these Improvements posts every week so I’ve found a few areas that I can nitpick about. First though, let’s go over what I suggested for this last game.

Last week I mentioned that the Chiefs needed to improve on the offensive line, run defense, forcing turnovers, and giving Jamaal Charles the ball. The offensive line underwent some changes last week with the benching of Mike McGlynn (FINALLY). That was only 15 weeks late.

McGlynn was replaced with Jeff Linkenbach, who hasn’t been known to be a great lineman in the past. The main memory that comes to mind of Linkenbach is when he was completely steamrolled over when he was with the Colts. A Chargers defensive lineman practically pushed him right into Peyton Manning in that game (so did Linkenbach technically get the sack?).
