3rd Quarter

• Chiefs get the ball to start the half. They don't get anywhere on their first two downs. On third down Thigpen throws for Mark Bradley but, get this, Jason David dives in, gets his hand on the pass and breaks up the play beautifully. No, I'm not kidding. Chiefs punt.
• 14:05 Remaining - Brees throws incomplete to a wide open Colston on a short route. This one looks like Drew's fault as the pass was behind Marques.
• 14:01 Remaining - Lance Moore runs straight up the right side, makes a beautiful leaping grab like a gazelle and runs the rest of the way for the touchdown. It's Ricardo Colclough on the coverage again and it looks like he bites on the Brees pump fake. Sucker. 20-10 Saints. The rest of the country is still wondering who this Lance Moore fella is.
  
• 13:44 Remaining - Thigpen completes to Mark Bradley. Jason David wraps him up then basically swings Bradley around 360 degrees and slingshots him downfield. Uhhh...whose team are you on JD? Bradley is forced out of bounds. Gain of 11 yards.
  
•  11:55 Remaining - 3rd and 1 from the KC 45. Chiefs only need a yard but they decide to pick up 34 instead on a Bradley reception. I can't stand this! It's always on 3rd down! This time it's Jason David on the coverage. The ball is luckily underthrown and Bradley must come back to get it. Had it been on target and hit him in stride it's probably a score. 
• Someone please shut Brian Billick up about the Pistol Offense.
• 10:40 Remaining - 2nd and 1. Randall Gay has good coverage on Dwayne Bowe and prevents a big reception. Nice work.
• 10:35 Remaining - Now it's 3rd and 1 again. Randall Gay again has good coverage on Bowe but this time Bowe is the victor. 7 yard catch. First down. Ugh.
• 9:27 Remaining - 1st and 10. Larry Johnson takes the direct snap in the Wildcat formation and picks up 13 yards.
  
• The Chiefs have 1st and 10 from the Saints 3 yard line but the Saints defense does yet another amazing job stuffing the Chiefs three times in a row and forces Kansas City to settle for just a field goal. On third down Thigpen lobs up another jump ball for Bowe. That play is getting tired.
  
• 4:21 Remaining - Pierre Thomas breaks off a nice run right up the middle for 16 yards.
• 3:42 Remaining - Brees wings it right into Shockey's hands at about the 3 yard line but Shockey just can't come up with it. Should have been a sure catch. The Brees/Shockey saga continues.
• 3:36 Remaining - Shockey can't close the deal so Pierre has to clean up the mess. Brees dumps it off to Thomas and Pierre does the rest of the work, gaining 21 yards total on the catch. Thomas runs it 1 yard into the end zone for the score on the very next play. 27-13 Saints.
• 0:38 Remaining - Dwayne Bowe makes a short reception over the middle. It takes Gay, Vilma and more to take Bowe down. He is that big. Insane. Saints DB's were having a tough time all day trying to take down KC's big receivers.

The Saints have held the Chiefs to 4th down at the end of the 3rd quarter. Will they make it? Find out after the jump!

4th Quarter

• It's 4th and three so of course not only do the Chiefs get the 3 yards needed to pick up the first down but the Saints defense allows them 35 total yards thanks to a Thigpen scramble. Did you expect something different? Usama Young gets called for a horse collar tackle.
  
•  13:59 Remaining - 2nd and Goal. Guess what play the Chiefs dial up to get the touchdown. Here's a hint: it involves Dwayne Bowe, Usama Young, a jump ball and the back of the end zone. Bowe slaps his own face on his end zone poster. 27-20 Saints.
  
• 13:50 Remaining - Colston straight up bobbles and drops a short, easy pass. 
• 13:05 Remaining - Brees throws to Shockey but the pass is a little high and behind. Shockey is able to get his hands on it and might have been able to make the catch. Either way, what the hell is going on!?!?
• 12:55 Remaining - Pakulak kicks a booming 49 yard punt. Good time to get a good punt.
  
• 12:34 Remaining - 3rd and 10. Here we go again. Jamaal Charles runs up the left side for 11 yards. What else? C'mon guys!! These third and longs are killing me! And the Saints defense took a timeout before the play just to be better prepared. 
• 11:32 Remaining - Jeff Charleston gets another sack, this one for a 7 yard loss.
• Kansas City recovers from the sack and continues to move the ball. The Saints hold them to 3rd and 2. Thigpen throws to a wide open Mark Bradley for the first - coverage courtesy of Jason David - but Bradley just flat out drops it. HUGE break! These are the lucky bounces the Saints are gonna need to win out the rest of the season. Chiefs decide to punt.
• When the Saints get the ball back they do what they do best and start marching down the field and keeping the chains moving. Pierre does a good job picking up chunks of yards and eating up clock. Good blocking by the line as well, particularly Jammal Brown on a 9-yard Thomas run. I am proud of Payton for sticking with a sucessful running game deep into the game. It's easier when you're ahead.  
• 5:51 Remaining - Brees throws a pass to Mark Campbell who catches it for a gain of five.  Announcer:"...he is still down." Somewhere, stujo4 is smiling. Seriously though it looked nasty.
  
• 5:14 Remaining - Shockey catches a pass for 11 yards. It is his 400th career reception. Two plays later Brees goes to Shockey again for 6 yards. Good to see they are still trying. Also of note, Brees had all day to make his throws the entire game. Absolutely no pressure from the Chiefs.
• 3:32 Remaining - The first real semi-test for Garrett Hartley. He splits the uprights with a 35-yard field goal to put the Saints up by two scores. Sweetness.
• 3:19 Remaining - First down for the Chiefs. Sedrick Ellis and Will Smith do a good job getting penetration and force Thigpen to scramble in the pocket. Bobby McCray is there to meet him and gets his fourth sack of the season. Loss of 7 yards. 
• 2:18 Remaining - 4th and 10 and the Chiefs have to go for it. Thigpen rolls left and throws it down the sideline. Looks like it is just underthrown as Usama Young makes the easy interception and locks it up. Game over.
