After a 9-0 start to the year, things have begun to unravel a bit for Kansas City, sandwiching a loss to the San Diego Chargers two weeks ago with defeats at the hands of Peyton Manning and the Broncos. Quarterback Alex Smith is refusing to sound the alarm.
"We still have everything we want in front of us," Smith said. "It's no time to point fingers or do anything like that. Just continue to do what we've been doing." Part of the Chiefs' poor fortunes of late have had to do with the outcomes of close games.
All three losses have come by 10 points or fewer, whereas in six of the first nine games Kansas City came out on top in those situations. "Earlier in the year we were coming out the other end of it," Smith said. "We just have to continue to fight. I think this team has that kind of character."
Andy Reid has stressed to his club that three losses don't mean the end of the world. "I told the team this isn't college football. This isn't the end of the season," said Reid. "Now it's important that we get ourselves back and ready to go, and finish the season like we're capable of doing, and our guys, coaches and players, will do that."
The Redskins, meanwhile, are trying to salvage anything positive in a wreck of a season. "You don't like to play for pride, but sometimes that's the card that's dealt," said coach Mike Shanahan.
