Amon Gordon sat in a corner of the Chiefs' locker room Thursday, talking about the winding routes the road can take you. He's an NFL defensive lineman, 30 years old, and the Chiefs are Gordon's ninth team in seven seasons. This isn't the kind of story that will explain a troubled past or an inability to learn what coaches are trying to teach him. Instead, Gordon's path explains the difficulty for many players to not only make it -- but hang on long enough to make an impact.

A Battle of the Bruised

Via Pro Sports Blogging  |  December 02, 2011
This week is a battle between two bruised teams.  Both squads have lost their starting quarterbacks and are struggling on offense.
