Chiefs-Texans was a fantastic spectacle, mainly thanks to both sides almost complete lack of pass coverage across the middle, and inability to stop the other side marching back up the field.
It was a classic game for the manic Gus Johnson to call, but Steve Tasker needs to learn to think before he speaks. Tasker is an analyst that feels the need to fill dead air with meaningless cliches or worse still, basic errors. As Kansas City attempted to drive down the field and behind 35-31, Tasker assessed that the position of the ball for the Chiefs would make it a 'long field goal', before realising that three points weren't quite what KC had in mind.
And having criticised the Texans defense all game long, as they were driving to score the winning touchdown, he announced:
'Two really, really good football teams going at it late in the fourth quarter!'
Contradicting statements like this through a lack of focus over the course of the game is infuriating to listen to.
Tasker is still far better than Mike Patrick, mind.
Talking points
* Brandon Flowers had the better of Andre Johnson at several points throughout the game and was unlucky to concede a soft-looking interference call that should have gone against the Texan in Houston's final drive.
* The Chiefs were impressive running the ball. Jamaal Charles has an attractive light-footed lateral ability that means he can hop around until he finds an open lane. His statistics look more impressive given he was running against a previously strong defensive line for the Texans.
