NEW ORLEANS, La -- The Kansas City Chiefs with a tough task Sunday down in New Orleans -beat Drew Brees and a high-octane Saints offense.
The Saints defense is not known to be great this season, but could Matt Cassel and KC keep up?
Picking up the action in the 3rd quarter, the score, 10-6, Saints.
Brees finds Jimmy Graham for a TD, making it 17-6.
On his next throw, Cassel was intercepted by the Saints' Jabari Greer, who takes it to the Chiefs' 7-yard line. Brees hits Jed Collins to make it 24-6.
Jamaal Charles has an amazing 91 yard touchdown run, making it 24-13. Charles had 233 yards rushing on the day!
4Q: It's 24-21, Saints.
But with 3rd and 10 and 4 1/2 minutes left, Cassel would hit Jon Baldwin for yardage, and Ryan Succup would kick a game-tying field goal.
And in over-time from 31 yards out, the Chiefs get it another field goal, and win 27-24
