Chiefs to open new season on Monday Night Football
By Bud L. Ellis
Despite coming off a season during which they had the worst record in the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs believe better times are to come in 2010.
And that new season will begin with a prime-time Monday night showing on national TV, as the Chiefs kick off the 2010 slate on Monday Night Football, Sept. 13 at home against AFC West Division champion San Diego.
The National Football League has announced dates and times for the upcoming season, and the Chiefs – who went 4-12 a year ago – open the season with two home games and the bye week in the first four weeks of the season. After playing host to San Diego for the opener, K.C. heads to Cleveland before returning home to face the 49ers.
Following the bye week, K.C. travels to AFC champion Indianapolis in week 5 and Houston in week 6. Two home games round out the first half: vs. Jacksonville on Oct. 24 and vs. Buffalo on Oct. 31. The second half begins with a tough stretch of three road games out of four: at Oakland, at Denver, vs. Arizona and at Seattle.
Denver comes to town in week 13 on Dec. 5, followed by trips to San Diego and St. Louis. K.C. ends the season with consecutive home games against Tennessee on Dec. 26 and Oakland on Jan. 2.
