Kansas City Chiefs: Jamaal Charles Top 10 Games
By Charles Lam
Jamaal Charles Top Games: Number Five – 11/22/2009 Kansas City Chiefs Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: 224 All Purpose Yards Two Touchdowns
Early in his career, Charles returned kicks. He became rather good at it. Against the Steelers in late November, he showcased his talents. He had 158 return yards and a kick return for a touchdown. His solo return touchdown went for 97 yards. Setting up a 27-24 upset win over the Steelers.
Before the game, the Chiefs were 2-6 and left for dead against the Steelers. Charles and company proved the doubters wrong again.
Fantasy football-speaking, this game was decent. Standard scoring leagues don’t count return touchdowns or yards to the players overall stat line. He only had 12 points for fantasy owners. If they lost the respective game they were in; they probably would have liked the return stats to be added on. On the other side of the story, teams facing Charles were elated that the points didn’t count.
