Did Chiefs' defense turn a corner with big effort against Bengals?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Andy Reid was particularly animated on Sunday night after the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Cincinnati Bengals 45-10, but not for any of the reasons you might think. It wasn't because of the game's lopsided nature, that it was his 200th career victory or even the fact the Chiefs stopped their one-game losing streak.

Reid was livelier than normal because the Chiefs' defense -- which gave up a season-low 10 points -- finally contributed an equal share to a victory, joining a consistently productive offense and special teams.

"This [victory] would be up there," Reid said when asked the last time he enjoyed a victory so much.
