Well, that was quick.  

Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles passed Larry Johnson as the season rushing leader.  Charles has 406 yards while LJ had 377 as a Chief.

The amazing part of it?  Charles did it in 54 less carries than LJ.  Yep, 54.  That's about two games worth for LJ when he was a Chief.

Presently, however, he's the problem of his former teammates.

“I know they know some things that I do good and I know some things that they do good,” said Chambers, asked about facing a secondary he's practiced against on a daily basis. “The fact is that in practice, they kinda gamble, they kinda sit on routes more, not worried about getting beat too much. You get beat too much in practice, it doesn't hurt, and you go right back to the huddle.

He could not have been more relevant on Sunday, when his 22-yard field goal in overtime lifted the Kansas City Chiefs to a shocking 27-24 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Arrowhead Stadium.

The upset of the defending Super Bowl champions ended a franchise-worst 10-game home losing streak for Kansas City and brought national attention to Succop and the solid rookie season he is enjoying for the rebuilding Chiefs.

He has converted 16-of-20 field-goal attempts with a long of 53 yards. He has made all but one of his five tries between 40 and 49 yards and is flawless on all 15 of his extra-point tries.

USA TODAY takes a closer look at Succop:

It's still early in the Scott Pioli/Todd Haley regime, but to me, the Chiefs' stunning upset of the Pittsburgh Steelers was reminiscent of the watershed moment of the 1990s.

Remember Oct. 7, 1991? The defending AFC Champion Buffalo Bills, featuring future Hall of Famers Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith and coach Marv Levy came into Arrowhead Stadium for a Monday-night game.

Now, the Chiefs weren't the decided underdogs in that game the way they were on Sunday. Heck, they might have even been favored.

The Chiefs were in their third year under general manager Carl Peterson and head coach Marty Schottenheimer and already had posted two winning seasons in KC and went to the playoffs in 1990.

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Ryan Succop kicked a 22-yard field goal in overtime, as the Kansas City Chiefs erased a 10-point halftime deficit to stun the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-24, at Arrowhead Stadium.

The game-winning boot was set up by a 61-yard passing play between Matt Cassel and Chris Chambers on third down.

Cassel finished 15-of-30 through the air for 248 yards and two touchdowns for the Chiefs (3-7), who snapped a 10-game losing streak at home. Jamaal Charles opened the scoring with a kickoff return and his two-yard grab drew Kansas City even with 4:54 to play in fourth quarter.

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 32-of-42 passes for 398 yards with three touchdowns, but was picked off twice before exiting the game in the extra session after being struck in the head by the knee of Derrick Johnson.

Rashard Mendenhall had 80 yards on 21 carries for the Steelers (6-4), who have lost two straight.

Of the 32 current head coaches in the NFL, Todd Haley is the only one who didn't play college football.

College playing experience didn't appear to be a prerequisite to becoming an NFL coach until former Penn State standout Larry Johnson publicly mocked the fact that Haley played golf and not football in college.

It was an unnecessary distraction for Haley, an Upper St. Clair grad whose 2-7 Kansas City Chiefs host the 6-3 Steelers today at Arrowhead Stadium.

"I knew it was a big job coming in,'' said Haley, a rookie NFL head coach and the son of long-time Steelers and New York Jets director of player personnel Dick Haley. "I don't think it's for the faint of heart.

"Obviously, we're going to be judged on wins and losses. We've got two wins — that's not enough. But as far as working every day and seeing what we have, it's continuing to improve and move in a positive direction. We're in the beginning of trying to turn this team into a winning team.''
