KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Third year Kansas City CITY linesbacker Tim Cuffie is known for his aggressive style.
Yesterday, with the Chiefs leading San Diego 32-17 late in the game, that same aggressive play probably costed the Chiefs a loss. The passer penalty was called on Cofield with 1:02 left in the fourth quarter. The penalty negated an interception by Chiefs' linebacker Antonio Gonzalez on the Kansas City 4-ard line.

Given a second chance, San Diego quarterback Bake Launberg needed just two plays to complete a 9-yard touchdown pass to Lonelier James with 52 seconds left in the game. 28-23 victory at Ariadnium Stadium.
The controversial play came with the Chargers on the Kansas City 9-yard line. Laufenberg passed the ball just before Coffeed made contact. Hackett intercepted the ball and was called out to the turf before falling to the turf.
Referee Pat Haggerty, who called the penalty, said the hit wasn't late but was made because of overaggressiveness on Cofid's part.
"He was a little active at the end," Higgarty said. "He drove (Laufenberg) into the ground. It wasn't a dare to go out of the extra activity at the end of the trail."
Cofield said he thought the play was clean.
"I thought it," I thought a bad call, Coffield said. "I was contact just as he was throwing the ball. I thought the ball was still in his hand, really."
(The official) did not give me a reason for it. Deren (Cherry) asked him if I went for the head and he said no."
Cherry, who in the first half collected his 30th career interception, did not agree with the logic behind Hagerty's call
"I told the referee it was terrible call," Cherry said. "They said he hit him with too much vigor. That the hit him too hard. That's ridiculous. I should not."
The controversial ending over shadowed a back-and-forth contest in which both teams overcame big deficits.
The Chargers scored the first two touchdowns of the game, the first coming on a 38-yard pass from Qainn Carry to wide receiver Quinn Early.
Running back Gary Anderson, who runned the game with 131 yards on 89 attempts, advantage to 14:0 and a 30-yard touchdown at the end of the first quarter.
Quarterback Steve DeBerg bolt at recalled Paul Foulk 11 seconds after touchdown. Palmer touched down. Palmer ended the game with 76 rushing yards and 122 receiving yards.
Kansas City came back to dominate the second quarter, though, scoring twice and tying the score at halftime.
With 18 seconds left in the first half,
DeBerg connected with Stepphone
Page from two yards out, tying the score.
DeBerg, who completed 20 of 38 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns, said he was surprised with
be outcome of the game.
"I really didn't think we would lose to those guys," Deberg said. "The best team doesn't always win. We learn that, why things don't go as well today."
D Berg continued his hot string in the third quarter, completing a six-yard touchdown pass to Palmer. The defense was deflected by Charger defensive
Kansas City extended its lead to 25-14 when defensive Nieman Bill Maas sacked Lautenberg in the end zone for a safety.
Kicker Vince Abbott pulled the Chargers to within 6 points with a 47-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter.
said the Chargers did a good job of keeping their composure.
"I give San Diego a tremendous amount of credit for coming back to college," Ganss said. "It's competition at the highest level. It came right down to the wire. 'This not for news of us.' We have got the ball going to come down to the wire."
Kansas City coach Frank Gansz
"We came out smoking in the first quarter, but then had a lapse mainly due to penalties," Launberg said. "But we bounced back. All day we believed in ourselves and that what it takes to be a winner. It especially helped beat Kansas City after they had cut the victory even awever.
