Chiefs show promise despite loss with sparks from rookies
Chiefs coach Todd Haley notes the offense improved and a ship turned around after a tough stretch. Javier Arenas led all NFL rookie defensive backs with three sacks and Kendrick Lewis had three interceptions, while Dwayne Bowe led the league with 15 TDs but was shut down in three games.
