Kenney Still Leads Chiefs After Dolphins Visit
Kansas City quarterback Bill Kenney returns to Miami to face the Dolphins as an established NFL starter. Once a training camp fodder in 1978, he reflects on his rough start, the Arnsparger hit that foretold his fate, and his rise to an offensive leader with 656 passing yards through two games this season. He credits improved defense reads and development, aiming to avoid past mistakes in the Orange Bowl reunion.
