Thigpen's evaluation will come down to one thing: Can he win?
Kansas City Star | November 23, 2008
The questions began soon after Tyler Thigpen finished his second NFL start, a game that looked nothing like his four-interception debut. It wasn’t a win, but it wasn’t a total loss either. Thigpen had completed nearly 70 percent of his passes and thrown for two touchdowns against the New York Jets.

When will the Chiefs win next?
Kansas City Star | November 23, 2008
The Chiefs have six games left. Victories in any of them would be a step toward a positive end to what has been a chaotic and discouraging season. Today might represent the 1-9 Chiefs’ best chance to win another game this season. Here are The Star’s odds of each game as the season concludes:

Chiefs give Bills the chance for big plays in all areas
Buffalo News | November 23, 2008
1. A crisis of confidence? Bills QB Trent Edwards has regressed badly after a promising start and it has coincided with the team's four-game losing streak. He has thrown eight interceptions during that stretch and is making the kind of shaky decisions that lead one to believe he is unsure of what he's seeing from defensive coverages. He needs to get better quickly, which is why it's a good thing he's playing against a Chiefs defense that is 27th in the NFL in passing yards allowed and is dead last in sacks with six. The Chiefs have tried to manufacture pressure by blitzing, but if the Bills pick it up, WR Lee Evans might come out of hibernation and re-establish himself as the big-play target.
