Two Bills Drive

‘"Elvis Grbac is a tremendous quarterback," free safety Keion Carpenter said after yesterday’s 21-17 playoff-enhancing victory at Arrowhead Stadium. "He was picking us apart at times today, and we knew we had a battle on our hands. To stop him at the end, I can’t explain how great that feels."’

‘When it comes to quarterbacks (and all things), Bum’s advice to Wade has always been simple: do what you think is best.’

‘QB Rob Johnson: He produced as many touchdowns in this game as Doug Flutie did in the last three games combined.’

‘Trailing the Kansas City Chiefs 17-14 with three minutes remaining and facing a crucial third and goal from the K.C. 12-yard line, Johnson took matters into his own hands.’

‘"We worked together in high school and college and in pro football, I don’t have to give him advice," Bum Phillips said. "He does fine."’

‘Grbac threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns, but it had all gone to waste. His third-quarter fumble and fourth-quarter interception were two of the biggest plays in a third straight loss, this time 21-17 to Buffalo at Arrowhead Stadium.’

‘Instead, the Chiefs failed to come up with a turnover for the third straight game, and coincidentally the Chiefs’ 21-17 loss to Buffalo on Sunday was their third straight defeat.’

‘If Bills head coach Wade Phillips had any doubts about his decision to start Rob Johnson over Doug Flutie on Sunday morning, they were gone by Sunday night.’

‘"No, we did not think he got in," Chiefs coach Gunther Cunningham said. "I’ve never liked instant replay in the first place, and I still don’t like it."’

‘The Chiefs gave their starting running back the stinking ball four times the whole game.’

‘After further review, I’d like to have Marty Schottenheimer back as coach of the Chiefs.’

‘"It was extra special today because my dad and my family came to see us play," Wade Phillips said. "They don’t get up to Buffalo much because it’s so cold."’

‘Upon further review, the Kansas City Chiefs are down by contact, and probably out of the NFL playoff picture.’

‘Johnson completed 21 or 36 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns, and almost effortlessly found open receivers.’

‘Buffalo punter Chris Mohr completed a 44-yard pass to flyer Daryl Porter on a fake punt from the Bills’ 18 in the second quarter because the Chiefs had only 10 men on the field.’
