Dontari Poe's offensive role expands to throwing TD pass

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- With the Kansas City Chiefs nearing the end zone late in Sunday night's game against the Denver Broncos, Dontari Poe knew what he needed to do, which was act like an offensive player.

"I was in coach (Andy) Reid's ear, like a true offensive player would be," Poe said. "I was kind of egging coach Reid on to call it. The fans started cheering for me and he listened, so we got it done."

What Poe, the 346-pound nose tackle, got done was throw a touchdown pass.
