University Daily Kansan / Monday, November 10, 1986 Sports Monday 7. KC wins, closes in on 1st playoff spot in 15 years Seahawks defeated by Chiefs United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo — The Kansas City Chiefs improved their postseason prospects yesterday by playing the type of defense it takes to win in the plavoffs. More football scores p. 8. The Chiefs held Curt Warner to 16 yards, and Bill Kenney threw three touchdown passes lifting Kansas City in victory over the Seattle Seahawks. "Everytime we win now, it just keeps us in the playoff chase for, not only one more week, but for two more weeks," Kansas City head coach John Mackovic said after the Chiefs beat 3 with their fourth straight victory. Kansas City has only an outside chance of overtaking Denver to win the AFC West, but the Chiefs are in the running for a wild card spot. Seattle lost its third straight to fall to 5-5. Warner entered yesterday's game with a conference leading 815 yards, but the Chiefs smothered him. Warner carried 11 times as Seattle, trying to come from behind, went to a passing game without success in the second half. "He's their offense," Kansas City linebacker Dino Hackett said of Warner. "If you don't shut him down, they!" United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bill Kenney has gone from the darkness of the Kansas City Chiefs' early fall, into the shadows of the autumn light and is now basking in the sun of a 7:32 record. Kansas City's record is the best 10-game start the Chiefs have had since 1971, when they were 7-2-1. That year was also the last time Kansas City appeared in the playoffs, a fact not lost on coaches, players, fans and, most of all, owner Lamar Hunt. Basking cautiously, though, as he has started only three times in the Chiefs' four-game winning streak after replacing Todd Blackedge, who was pulled after several poor performances. The Chiefs, second place in the AFC Western Division, will meet the conference-leading Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium next week, in the first of two matchups. The promising win-loss record provokes Kenney, head coach John Mackovic and the rest of the team to entertain, in the very outside corners of their thoughts, the possibility of a playoff spot this year. His season totals on the three starts and fillin's for quarterback Blackledge are 67 of 119 for 909 yards and 7 touchdowns, compared with Blackledge's 77 of 169 for 988 and 8 TD's in 7 starts this year. "Everytime we win now, it just keeps us in the playoff chase for, not only one more week, but another." "Everybody in our offense has a chance to catch the ball," Kenney said. "That's the way it's designed, to mix it up and keep a defense off balance. "It's evident they (the tight ends) did an excellent job." Midway through the first half Kenney completed nine consecutive passes — one a 2-yard towalt or Wilm Arnold for a 7-0 lead — and ended touchdowns in 14 yards in the air, two touchdowns and a 17-0 lead. Working behind a very strong defensive game, Kenney threw to 10 different receivers against Seattle, completing 22 of 41 attempts for 256 vards and three touchdowns. Yesterday, Kenney added the mortar to what had been several strong but separate offensive blocks for Kansas City this season, and built the team a 27-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Kenney has been wined for his spikes since 1980 and is one of last of last to have he injured and Blackledge was brought in. in the first half," he said. "Our offensive line did such a good job in the first half, I was able to pick my receivers." backbunks and a 19-1 lead. "At this last, this season we were able to get going." Kenney's passing game was based on quick, short hits to a variety of receivers. Seattle defensive end Randy Edwards testified to the Chiefs' offensive juggling act. "Kenny mixed things up pretty well, because he played a game, a game plan," he said. "They definitely took it to the next level." " we rotated it so much, it was nice for all of us to play. " Walt Armstrong, tight end, said. " It feels good to catch some passes, but I don't believe it will tight ends to such an extent) will last all season. "They're as good as any ... they've got two games left with Denver so we'll see how they figure it out." "It's hard to get to the tight end when the team is struggling, right now we're getting to the tight end." Although Denver looms across the Great Plains west of Arrowhead Stadium, Mackovic is, perhaps the most confident in meeting the Broncos next week as he has ever been. "We know going out there to play them will be a different game," he said. "But we've got the best chance in four years of beating them." was t job " BY JANE sports wriiT The Kawan's collegiate the North The plaah had expect with the t "The te tpected."

"One week makes a big difference. It's like a new season, but if you can finish strong in the second half." The Chargers, 2-8, snapped an eight-game losing streak and won their first game since Al Saunders became head coach a week ago. While watching films during the week, the Broncos saw Flick complete four of 17 passes in his first NFL start last week. But yesterday, Flick completed 16 of 22 passes and engineered time-consuming drives guiding the San Diego Chargers to a 9-3 upset over the Broncos. Rolf宾irschke kicked three field goals and safety Jeff Dale had two interceptions helping the Chargers, who were 15-point underdunks. The Broncos fell to 8-2 and saw their AFC West lead cut to one game over Kansas City. "It looks like we can't stand pro- position." Denver Coach Dan. Repos Ku in Sooners face CU after mauling MU United Press International United Press International San Diego hands loss to Broncos Big Eight roundup The Oklahoma Sooners are like a prairie schooner. They can't be controlled. Just a week after routing the Jayhawks 64-3 in Kansas, fourth-rated Oklahoma outdid itself by beating the Missouri Tigers 77-0. It was the worst defeat in Missouri football history. In another conference game, No. 7 Nebraska beat Iowa State 35-14, and Oklahoma State topped Kansas State 23.3. Next, Oklahoma will play in Colorado, and the winner will be assured a share of the Big Eight Conference title. Both the Sooners and Buffaloes, who beat Kansas 17-10 Saturday, are 5-0 in the league. The Sooners, 8-1, seem to be trying to make up for their loss to No. 1 Miami. That since game, Oklahoma has outscored its opponents 301-25, and in the last four weeks, the Sooners had a winning record, winning it combined 198-3 score. Even Oklahoma head coach Barry Switzer didn't know what could have stopped the Sooners last week. "Talent, speed and depth on offense created that score," he said. "Our offense played extremely well, and we made no turnovers." "There was no attempt to run up the score," said Missouri head coach Woody Widenhofer "Barry Perry. He was there he was very anilogic afterward." Oklahoma substituted so freely that nine players scored touchdowns. Earl Johnson and Eric Mitchel each had two. The Sooners, who added 564 yards to their rushing total last week, amassed 681 yards on 63 rushes "We were assigning two and three people to the quarterback, and they'd all get knocked down." Widenhofer said. "We put two people on the quarterback and on two in the pitch-out and we still could not be done." The ball was so powerful an offensive line that they just knock you clear off the ball." Missouri was embarrassed last week when Iowa State used a time out with five seconds left to set up a field goal, making the final score 37.14. This week the Tigers really missed the season in humility, Widerhofer said. Nebraska, b-1 overall and 4-1 in the league, started sluggishly and found itself down 147 at halftime and the subject of head coach Tom Osborne's "The first half we were not very aggressive." "Cornhuskers" nose tackle Danny Noonan said, "Obsore don't yell that much, but he was really vocal when we were behind at halftime today. He really spoke up and told us we knew we weren't playing to our capabilities. We knew if we came out and played as we could that we were the better team. It surprised me that the coach raised his voice today." Sports Almanac The Oklahoma State combination of Mike Gundy and Hartley Dykes created a pair of touchdown passes that paced the Cowboys, 4-5 and 2.3, past the Wildcats, 2-7 and 1.4. Kansas scored a touchdown in 14 quarters.
