0:00.0	They snap it. They're going for it. They flood it right. Cut Tyree Kill. Stay's in bounds.
0:06.5	And Chad Henney out of the bullpen. The Kansas City Chiefs are going to advance in the AFC playoffs.
0:15.7	It was not how anyone drew it up, but the Kansas City Chiefs behind backup quarterback Chad Henney
0:22.8	are headed to the AFC Championship. The NFL's divisional round gave us shockers and
