Chiefs stun Steelers

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Ryan Succop kicked a 22-yard field goal with 8:28 left in overtime yesterday after Chris Chambers' 61-yard catch-and-run, and the Kansas City Chiefs ended a team-record 10-game home losing streak.

The Super Bowl champs, with Charlie Batch replacing a shaken-up Ben Roethlisberger in overtime, had to punt on their first possession in OT.

"He took a blow, needless to say, it was a concussion-oriented thing so I doubt he was going to come back into the football game," said Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, a former William and Mary standout. "I don't have a lot of information in terms of where he is or his level of availability. We will have more information as we proceed."

The Chiefs faced third down when Matt Cassel connected with Chambers, who went 61 yards before he was pushed out of bounds at the 4.

Succop, the final player drafted in April, came in and kicked the game-winner for the Chiefs' first home victory in more than a year. Succop also had a 27-yarder that tied it 17-all in the final seconds of the third quarter.

It was the second loss in a row for the Steelers, who have lost twice to division rival Cincinnati and were without injured Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu. In regulation, the Steelers (6-4) had the ball for almost 19 minutes longer than the Chiefs (3-7) and outgained them 463-206.

Roethlisberger, who wobbled off the field under his own power, threw for 398 yards and three touchdowns.

Linebacker Andy Studebaker, making his first NFL start, picked off Roethlisberger's pass 2 yards deep in the end zone in the third quarter and motored to the Steelers 8. But Cassel was sacked twice in the next three plays, and the Chiefs had to settle for Succop's 27-yarder.

Roethlisberger's 8-yard touchdown pass to Mendenhall gave the Steelers a 24-17 lead a few minutes later after the Steelers recovered Cassel's turnover at the 27.

But back came Kansas City. Cassel hit Lance Long for 30 yards and Chambers for 47 to set up a 2-yard TD pass to Charles that tied it 24-all.
