Chiefs' Green Will Miss First Game Years
As a starter in Miami in 1999 and 2000, he was 5-1. And the Chiefs did move the ball when he came in late in the third quarter and went 12-for-20 for 140 yards and a 9-yard TD toss to Gonzalez.
Nevertheless, the Chiefs will doubtlessly tone down their attack without Green under center.

Saving options
"We'll find out Sunday," said coach Herm Edwards. "I don't want to reveal that right now. I don't think that's fair to us. I don't want to give Denver any more of an edge. They've already got one playing at home."
One thing Huard will have to do is not think about the sight of Green unconscious and helpless on the turf last week.
"You can't think about it. If you do, you're going to get hurt," he said. "You have to put it behind you and play the game."
The game was delayed almost 12 minutes while Green was strapped to a gurney and carefully wheeled away.
"I've never experienced or seen that in all my years in football," Huard said. "But it's encouraging to know he's back on his feet, smiling and talking. But it was scary, man.
"I haven't played a whole lot in recent years," he added. "To get out there and play the game, sure, it's an opportunity. But the circumstances aren't that great. I'd feel better if I was going in for Trent because he'd rolled his ankle."
In the meantime, Edwards is determined not to look at the situation the way many fans are probably doing.
"Yeah," he said, "you don't panic."
