| Chiefs shock Chargers with 21-14 victory • Rookie Dexter McCluster helps inspires win in heavy downpour• 'They played their hearts out' – Chiefs' coach Todd HaleyThe much-fancied San Diego Chargers suffered a surprise 21-14 defeat at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday. The victory for Kansas provided the perfect christening for the New Arrowhead Stadium, which was unveiled after undergoing a $375m (£243m) renovation.The Chiefs provided a string of explosive big plays, highlighted by a club record 94-yard punt return from the rookie Dexter McCluster that helped Kansas City to a 21-7 half-time lead.Jamaal Charles also had the capacity crowd of 71,297 on its feet with a weaving 56-yard touchdown run, while Brandon Carr returned a fumble to the San Diego 12-yard line to set up a two-yard touchdown pass from Matt Cassel to Tony Moeaki."It's a win," said Todd Haley, the Chiefs head coach. "If you expected something to look real fancy or nice I don't think that's what you're going to see here with this Chiefs team. But that's alright, we're figuring out how you get things done. Our guys worked hard, they did a great job at preparation... I thought they came out tonight and played their hearts out."NFLguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
