(2) Will first-round draft choice Dale Carter compensate for an undermanned and overrated secondary? (3) Is one ball enough for the backfield trio of Christian Okoye Barry Word and Harvey Williams? ATHLON PRO FOOTBALL: Kansas City is the only AFC West team likely to challenge Denver for the championship The signing of Plan quarterback Dave Krieg should tell the story of just how serious that challenge is The 33-year-old Krieg who threw only 1 1 touchdown passes to 12 interceptions in his last of 12 years in Seattle could help the Chiefs if he has at least one more good season left Or he could illustrate how desperately the team needs a young talented quarterback Sonny Hu! came to town 5 Years ago always been a winner!
