"One game after he failed to start and played sparingly against the Cincinnati Bengals, veteran Hines Ward started the game as the lone wide receiver and played in several formations in the opening series against the Chiefs. He caught two passes for 5 yards.

Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who missed two games after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee, returned against the Chiefs and played mostly as the third receiver instead of Jerricho Cotchery , who replaced Ward against the Bengals.

Ward played mostly in two-wide receiver sets and as the fourth receiver in multiple-receiver formations.

KC coach bled black and gold

Todd Haley grew up in Pittsburgh as the son of former Steelers player and longtime personnel director Dick Haley . As such, he had a front-row seat to their dynasty of the 1970s and later became a ballboy for them.

Haley, now the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, talked to Bob Costas on NBC-TV's Football Night in America about what it was like growing up a Steelers fan and what it was like when he was offensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals, who lost to the Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII."
