Frustrations mount for Derrick Johnson, Chiefs

MINNEAPOLIS

Linebacker Derrick Johnson has split his Chiefs career between winning and losing teams, five each in the 10 seasons before 2015. He knows what a winner looks and feels like. A loser, too.

But Johnson is utterly confused about this season, as are other Chiefs.

Sunday’s 16-10 loss to the Vikings was the Chiefs’ fifth straight after an opening weekend triumph.

It was never supposed to be like this.

“When I’ve been through a team that was 1-5 or a team that wasn’t in the winning column in the middle of the season, that team was supposed to be like that, kind of,” Johnson said.
