The Chiefs, still emotionallty drained from the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide, fall to 2-11. "It is going to be with some guys the rest of their lives," QB Brady Quinn said. "But it was not a distraction because we live to play football. We just didn't play an all-around football game like we did last week."
The 5-8 Browns have had a resurgence as of late, but second-year head coach Pat Shurmur's job still hangs in the balance. They do seem to gelling, which is a good thing for him and the team going forward.
