Holmes poised to lead Chiefs as Cardinals face leaky run defense
Kansas City linemen tout Priest Holmes as league MVP material a day before a matchup with Arizona, which has one of the NFL's weakest run defenses. Holmes leads the league in rushing and is expected to carry the burden with Seattle also yielding big numbers last week. Casey Wiegmann and Will Shields emphasize staying disciplined as Holmes seeks to exploit the Cardinals front. Tony Gonzalez's presence helped lure Holmes to KC after 2000, a note of irony in the backstory of his rise.
