Chiefs defeat Arizona Cardinals
23-20.
Matt Leinart's great start wasn't good enough, and Larry Johnson's bad day had a big but painful finish.
Johnson, who rushed for just 36 yards, rumbled 78 yards with a screen pass to set up Lawrence Tynes' 19-yard field goal with 1:36 remaining. The Chiefs rallied from 10 down in the fourth quarter to beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-20 on Sunday.
Leinart, in his first NFL start, completed his first six passes, two for touchdowns, against a Kansas City defense that had not allowed a scoring pass in 12 quarters to start the season.
