KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs were still trying to resurrect their season on Nov. 1 when they played against the Detroit Lions at London’s Wembley Stadium. They would go on to win 45-10 for their second straight victory, but early in the second quarter the outcome was in doubt with the Chiefs ahead just 7-3.
What broke the game open was the scrambling ability of quarterback Alex Smith. Smith started Kansas City’s first drive of the period with a 49-yard run in which he outraced four defenders to get to the sideline and gain a large portion of the yardage.
