Chiefs' reshuffled offensive line finally looks to be in sync

Charcandrick West (35) was the beneficiary of some solid blocking against the Steelers.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The way the Kansas City Chiefs shuffled different groups along the offensive line in training camp inevitably drew comparisons to the game of musical chairs.

The only problem is the music didn't stop when camp did.

The Chiefs tried their fourth different combination in their first seven games last weekend against Pittsburgh, and finally appeared to strike a chord with it. They protected Alex Smith as well as they have all season, and pried opened enough holes for the Chiefs to run for 138 yards -- their second-best total of the season, even without star running back Jamaal Charles.
