WASHINGTON —
President Donald Trump
on Monday denied he
ever worked for Russia
against U.S. interests,
addressing an extraordinary question that has
haunted his presidency
and shows no sign of
going away.
Speaking from the
South Lawn, Trump
issued a flat denial:
“I never worked for
Russia.” He blasted
former FBI and Justice
Department officials and
repeated his claim that
the investigation into
his ties to Moscow is a
hoax.
Trump raised eyebrows over the weekend
when he didn’t directly
answer the Russia question in an interview with
Fox News host Jeanine
Pirro, a personal friend.
He was asked about a
New York Times report
that law enforcement
officials began investigating, in 2017, whether
Trump had been working on behalf of Russia
against U.S. interests.
Trump said the question was “insulting,” but
did not directly deny it.
Monday’s clear
denial demonstrated

New Orleans.
sure Trump faces as the
special counsel’s Russia
investigation shows possible signs of wrapping
up. After two years in
office, the president is
still being questioned
about whether he was
compromised by Russian
intelligence agencies and
he is still struggling to
answer clearly.
White House aides
expressed regret over
the weekend that the
president did not more
clearly and forcefully
deny being a Russian
agent on Saturday when
asked by the usually
friendly Fox News host,
according to three White
House aides and Republicans close to the White
House. The three spoke
on condition of anonymity because they were
not authorized to discuss
private conversations.
When Pirro asked if he
had ever worked for Russia, Trump said it was
“the most insulting thing
I’ve ever been asked.”
“I think it’s the most
insulting article I’ve ever
had written, and if you
read the article you’ll
see that they found absolutely nothing,” he said.
Trump went on to
assert that no president
has taken a harder
stance against Russia
than he has.
“If you ask the folks
in Russia, I’ve been
tougher on Russia than
anybody else, any other
... probably any other
president, period, but
certainly the last three
or four presidents,” he
said.
On Monday, Trump
also defended his decision to fire FBI Director
James Comey, a move
that has drawn Mueller’s
scrutiny. Trump called
the Russia probe “a
whole big fat hoax.”
Special counsel Robert
Mueller is looking into
Russian election interference and whether
Trump’s campaign
coordinated with the
Russians. He also is
investigating possible
obstruction of justice by
Trump.

Jake Thomas Patterson, 21, who is accused of abducting
13-year-old Jayme Closs and holding her captive for three
months, makes his initial court appearance Monday via video
feed from the Barron County jail during his bond hearing in
Barron, Wis. Judge James Babler set his bail at $5 million.
Kidnapping suspect
targeted girl after
seeing her get on bus
By Amy Forliti
and Todd Richmond
Associated Press
BARRON, Wis. — A
Wisconsin man accused
of abducting 13-year-old
Jayme Closs and holding her captive for three
months made up his
mind to take her when
he spotted the teenager
getting on a school bus,
authorities said Monday.
Jake Thomas Patterson, 21, told detectives that “he knew
that was the girl he was
going to take,” and he
made two aborted trips
to her family’s home
before finally carrying
out an attack in which
he fatally shot Jayme’s
mother in front of her,
according to a criminal
complaint filed hours
before Patterson’s first
court appearance.
Prosecutors charged
him Monday with kidnapping Jayme and killing her parents Oct. 15
near Barron, about 90
miles northeast of Minneapolis. He was also
charged with armed
robbery.
Investigators believe
Patterson hid Jayme in
a remote cabin before
she escaped on Thursday. Police have said the
two did not know each
other.
Patterson sat expressionless during the
court appearance, which
he made via video feed
from the county jail. He
spoke only to acknowledge that his name and
address were correct
on paperwork and that
he agreed to waive a
speedy preliminary
hearing. The judge set
bail at $5 million.
The complaint said
Patterson went to the
home twice intending
to kidnap Jayme, but
broke off one attempt
because too many cars
were in the driveway
and called off another
because the house was
too active.
On the night she was
abducted, Jayme told
police, she was asleep
in her room when the
family dog started
barking. She woke her
parents as a car came
up the driveway.
She and her mother,
Denise, hid in the bathroom, clutching one
another in the bathtub
with the shower curtain pulled shut. Her
father, James, went to
the front door. They
heard a gunshot, and
Jayme knew that James
had just been killed,
according to the complaint.
Denise Closs started
to call 911. Patterson
broke down the bathroom door. Jayme
said he was dressed in
black, wearing a face
mask and gloves and
carrying a shotgun.
STATE BRIEFS
Gambling
revenue up
CLEVELAND (AP)
— Ohio’s casinos and
racinos recorded 1.86
billion in revenue last
year, marking a record
profit for the industry
that launched in the
state in 2012.
Gambling revenue —
the amount of money
kept by the facilities
after paying out winnings — rose more than
7 percent at the state’s
seven racinos to just
over $1 billion last year.
Cleveland.com reports
revenue increased more
than 2 percent to $837
million at the state’s
four casinos.
The casinos have both
table games and slots
under the regulation of
the Ohio Casino Control Commission. The
racinos, regulated by the
Ohio Lottery Commission, are permitted to
offer only slot machines.
Sports gambling is currently not legal in Ohio.
About one-third of
the gambling revenue is
turned over to the state
in taxes or fees.
Dayton police say
officers responding to
reports of shots fired
found the man wounded
and slumped over the
steering of the car late
Sunday night. Investigators say the man
was taken to a hospital

From page 1
This post came after
the West Virginia Association of Fairs & Festivals Convention held
in Charleston this past
weekend.
“We had known since
last year, after Regatta
2018, that we (the Regatta Board) were no longer
in a position to continue
the Regatta,” Edwards
stated. “Because of the
lack of volunteers, funds,
and interest, we felt it
best to dissolve.”
The Regatta Committee consists of Edwards,
Darla Walbrown, treasurer, and Darla Jackson,
co-chair.
The question of continuing the Regatta or
not led to meetings held
with Mayor Brian Billings, Edwards, and others
to discuss future possibilities of other events
in the area around the
same time of year. Those
discussions are still being
deliberated by Point
Pleasant City Council
members.
Edwards added, “While
I know there are many
people who would have
stepped up to help continue this tradition, I
also know that we did try
everything we could to
grow our Board the previous year. When it comes
down to it, it’s easier said
than done.”
Billings commented to
the Point Pleasant Register on Monday that Point
Pleasant City Council has
always tried to help with
the annual regatta to see
it return each year. He
said it was a “wonderful
event for the city” that
brought in people from
Mason County as well as
surrounding areas.
Though Billings said
he does not like to see
this tradition end, the
city would still like to
hold an annual event
for the Fourth of July.
Council members, under
the direction of Councilwoman Janet Hartley, are
currently in the planning
stages for a Fourth of July
event to be held this year.

started back in 1991, the
festival brought huge
acts to the area including
Chuck Wicks, Kip Moore,
Thompson Square, and
Brothers Osborne, just to
name a few of the more
recent Nashville stars.
In earlier years, well
known artists like Tim
McGraw and the Bellamy Brothers played the
Regatta. Tribute bands,
up-and-coming artists,
and some of today’s biggest stars were once in
Point Pleasant because
of the Regatta. Also, well
known local artists were
part of the line up, such
as Paul Doeffinger, Idle
Tymes, and Charlie Lilly
- all staple acts that many
looked forward to seeing
on the schedule. Also, the
pageants were always a
highlight and were once
attended by large crowds
at the State Theatre, but
in more recent years, the
Riverfront Park would
be packed with pageant
fans to watch the winner
crowned on the outdoor
stage. The streets were
always lined with vendors, games and fun for
the whole family, said
Edwards.
According to information in the press release,
the Sternwheelers which
would once grace the
Ohio River would dock at
the Riverfront. Though
they did disappear over

the years due to the price
in gas it took for them to
travel the river and the
timing of the festival was
not part of their travel
season. Kids Day brought
in Magician Dewayne
Hill, Mother Goose,
boat cruises with Ronald McDonald, and free
games. Also, the event
would not have been the
same without Rockin’
Reggie closing the night
after the ever so popular
fireworks display.
Edwards added, “Fairs
and festivals all throughout West Virginia are
struggling now with the
same issues we faced.
So I highly encourage
everyone to support the
events we have in the
county. Get out, volunteer, or serve on a board.
Just don’t sit back and
do nothing. It’s time we
invest ourselves and our
dollars into local events.”
Edwards, on behalf of
all those involved with
the Regatta, extended a
thank you to all the sponsors and donors throughout the years which
allowed them to always
provide a free event for
the community.

THEIR VIEW
Stopping the
madness at
four-way stops
My grasp of the workings of a four-way stop
are as follows: all four ways stop. On the face of
it, this does not seem to be too complicated. Nor
does it appear to be a task that is
unteachable. The key words in those
sentences are “seem” and “appear.”
Even with the simplest endeavors
(e.g., stop then go) human nature
enters the fray. Humans, you understand, are the ones driving the
vehicles … the very vehicles that are
Marla

Boone
then the going. I cannot even broach
Contributing the idea of self-driving cars. On the
columnist
other hand, maybe self-driving cars
do not try to text or put on make-up
while motoring down I-75 at eighty miles an hour.
The problem with people at four-way stops
can be broken down into two main categories.
(1) They don’t know when to go. (2) They don’t
know when to stop. Even at four way stops with
multiple lanes, there are a finite number of cars
involved at the intersection at any one moment.
Yet many drivers cannot seem to keep track of
when it is their turn. This results in many amusing stops and starts while fellow motorists try to
second-guess what those who hesitate intend to
do. For those of us who occasionally pay attention
when driving, this behavior is maddening. This is
not rocket science. This is a stop sign. Perhaps we
should not imbue it with more difficulty than life
already presents.
Let’s discuss the first category…the person who
does not go at the appropriate time. On the odd
chance there is another driver at the intersection who has actually kept track of the correct
sequence, confusion reigns. Should they go ahead
and take their turn out of rotation? Should they
beep their horns in an encouraging yet nonthreatening manner? Should they sit there and
wait until they grow old and die which makes the
issue of getting through the intersection a little
less pressing?
Suppose they choose option one. They go out of
rotation. There is absolutely no guarantee several
other drivers haven’t hit upon the same idea. At
the same time. Now you have multiple drivers, all
of whom are more than willing to get down the
street and on with their travels edging their way
into what will shortly become a very densely populated piece of asphalt. At the sight of other motorists moving, the correct party might even find
their own accelerator (not to mention consciousness) and enter the intersection as well. They are
unfailingly quite indignant that someone has tried
to preempt what they now realize is their turn.
I would encourage other drivers to be extremely
cautious in choosing option two … the gentle
beep beep on the horn. Road rage is rampant. I
just completed my concealed carry weapon course
(about which more in a few weeks) and I can tell
you there are some certifiably crazy people with
hair-trigger tempers (no pun intended … don’t
shoot) packing heat out there.
Drivers who choose option three and die waiting for their turns are just going to clog up the
intersection worse so please think carefully before
simply giving up.
The second category … those who don’t know
when to stop are, if anything, even more troubling.
These are the people who assume it is always their
turn. We’ve all run into this type of person, not literally one hopes, but in this case entirely possible.
This person has no intention of waiting for the
correct time to go through the intersection. They
assume other drivers will give way to them. Or
they assume their vehicle is protected by an imaginary safety shield. Or they assume, as outlined
previously, it is always their turn. I’m really not
too sure what it is they assume but the end result
is the same. Here they come, ready or not. Unfortunately, there is a Subset A of the people who
don’t know when to stop. This is the tagger-onner.
That’s probably not an actual sanctioned word but
it’s the best I can come up with to describe the
second car in line who tags onto the first car and
goes through the intersection about four millimeters from that bumper. Sometimes less.
Drivers who don’t drive when it is their turn to
drive drive their fellow drivers crazy. Admittedly,
this is a very short trip for some of us, probably
involving many four-way stops.

We have officially
endured our first winter
storm of the season, and
for the most part I believe
we have made it through.
I always enjoy watching the reaction of
people upon notice of an
impending snow storm

New York City on New

if you are brave enough
to venture out during
the blast, you can’t find a
spare gallon of milk with
a search warrant.
Usually, the result of
such a winter climatic
event is a psychological phenomenon we call
“cabin rever.” I say usually because while watching
the descending “white
death” I noticed a tremendous number of motorists
braving the treacherous
conditions of the highways and roadways over
the weekend, and most
long before snowplows
ever made a pass. Are we
really that afraid of the
idea of having to remain
homebound for a few
hours? Now, if there is a

Cavs stun Lakers 101-95 to end losing streak
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Wins
have been hard to come by for the
Cleveland Cavaliers this season,
so coach Larry Drew has been
focused on the incremental signs
of progress.
Against the Los Angeles Lakers, Drew saw those little things
help put the Cavaliers into the
right side of the win column.
Cedi Osman scored 20 points,
Collin Sexton added 17 and the
Cavaliers ended a 12-game losing streak with a 101-95 victory
on Sunday night.
“Any time you go through a
rebuilt process you’re going to
have bumps in the road, that’s to
be expected,” Drew said. “But
the most important thing for
this group is that they learn and
there is growth. We understand
where we are and who we are,
and the most important thing
for us right now is just to continue to grow every game we
play.”
Tristan Thompson had 15
points and 14 rebounds, and
Alec Burks had 17 points and 13
rebounds as the short-handed
Cavaliers split the two-game season series by forcing the Lakers
into a choppy game.
Los Angeles was 7 for 34 on
3-pointers, 16 for 27 from the
free throw line and had 11 fastbreak points.
Kyle Kuzma had 29 points and
nine rebounds for the Lakers,
who have lost two straight and
five of their past seven. Brandon
Ingram scored 22 points and
Lonzo Ball had 13 points, eight
rebounds and eight assists.
“No disrespect to the Cavs,
but they’re still an NBA team
and for us we can’t take anything lightly, especially in this
league,” Kuzma said. “Because
we’re all professionals and you
can lose on any given night if we
don’t bring the effort, and that’s
what happened tonight.”

AP SPORTS BRIEFS
Marshall honoring Hal
Greer with statue
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Marshall University is honoring NBA Hall of Famer Hal Greer
with a statue.
The Herald-Dispatch reports Marshall University President Jerome Gilbert wanted to see a
statue erected on campus following Greer’s death
last April at age 81.
Greer was the first black scholarship athlete at
Marshall after starring at Huntington’s Douglass
High School. Greer spent 15 seasons with the
Syracuse Nationals and Philadelphia 76ers. He’s
the 76ers’ career leading scorer.
Huntington native Frederick Hightower Sr. was
chosen to create the statue of Greer in his No. 16
Marshall uniform. Once complete, it will be placed
near Cam Henderson Center, Marshall’s basketball
arena.
NC State hires ex-WVU
defensive coordinator
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina State
has added former West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson to its coaching staff.
Coach Dave Doeren said Sunday that Gibson
will be the co-defensive coordinator and safeties
coach.
Gibson helped develop linebacker David Long
into the Big 12 defensive player of the year in
2018 and led the Mountaineers’ defense for the
past five years. He left West Virginia during the
head coaching transition from Dana Holgorsen to
Neal Brown.
Matt Moore named
offensive line coach at WVU
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — New West Virginia coach Neal Brown has brought offensive line
coach Matt Moore with him from Troy.
Brown announced Moore’s hiring Friday.
Moore was offensive coordinator and offensive
line coach at Troy for the past four years. He also
served stints an an assistant at Louisiana Tech,
Middle Tennessee and Texas Tech.
Some of West Virginia’s linemen from the past
season won’t be around to work with Moore.
Offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste has declared for
the NFL draft, and center Matt Jones announced
earlier Friday he is heading to Youngstown State
as a graduate transfer.
Brown and defensive coordinator Vic Koenning
were introduced at a news conference Thursday.
Koenning had the same job for four seasons under
Brown at Troy.
Browns’ Kitchens
hires Wilks, Monken
CLEVELAND (AP) — New Browns coach Freddie Kitchens has hired Todd Monken as offensive
coordinator and Steve Wilks to run his defense.
Monken spent the past three years with Tampa
Bay. The Buccaneers ranked first in passing yardage per game (320.3) and were 12th in points.
Monken called plays, but Kitchens is expected
to keep that duty following his eight-game run as
Cleveland’s offensive coordinator.
Wilks was recently fired after going 3-13 in one
season as Arizona’s coach. He has a deep defensive background, spending 12 years as a secondary
coach before becoming Carolina’s coordinator in
2017.
He succeeds Gregg Williams, who was not
retained by Kitchens.
Mike Priefer will coach Cleveland’s special
teams after eight years with Minnesota.
Also, Kitchens added Stump Mitchell (running
backs), James Campen (offensive line), Ryan Lindley (quarterbacks), Jody Wright (special assistant)
and Jim Dray and Tyler Tettleton (offensive quality control) to his staff.
Ohio beats Ball State 70-52
for first conference win
MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — Teyvion Kirk scored 19
points with nine rebounds and Ohio used a big
first half to beat Ball State 70-52 on Saturday for
its first Mid-American Conference win this season.
Jason Carter added 13 points with nine boards
and Doug Taylor scored 11. Jason Preston dished
out eight assists.
Tayler Persons scored 16 points and K.J. Walton

Marshall comeback
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Taevion Kinsey
scored a career-high 23 points, freshman Jannson
Williams blocked five shots and scored 12, including the winning 3-pointer with 21 seconds left,
and Marshall rallied to beat Western Kentucky
70-69 on Saturday night to win its third straight.
The Hilltoppers led by as many as 15 and 42-31
at halftime, but Marshall closed to 46-40 on Kinsey’s layup early in the second half, then to 65-63
on Jon Elmore’s jumper with 5:14 left. Williams’
dunk tied it at 67 and his 3 put Marshall up 70-69
and WKU didn’t get off another shot.
Elmore scored 21 points and made five assists
for Marshall (10-6, 3-0 Conference USA), whose
trailed most of the way after Western Kentucky
took the lead with 14:16 left in the first half.
The Thundering Herd made seven 3-pointers
to WKU’s five and finished shooting 44 percent to
the Hilltoppers’ 48 percent.

Conference championships set
By Jay Cohen
Associated Press
Tom Brady versus
Patrick Mahomes. Drew
Brees against Jared Goff.
Two high-profile
rematches with the Super
Bowl on the line.
The NFL’s highest-scoring offenses face off in
the conference championships next Sunday. Brady
leads the New England
Patriots into Kansas City
to take on Mahomes and
the Chiefs, and Brees and
the New Orleans Saints
host Goff and the Los
Angeles Rams.
“We’ll see how it goes,”
Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “Well-coached,
they have a lot of explosive players. We had a
tremendous game with
them here earlier. That
was a long time ago. We’ll
see where we are now,
see where they are.”
New England hosted
Kansas City way back
on Oct. 14, and Brady
passed for 340 yards
and a touchdown in a
43-40 victory that was
the Chiefs’ first loss of
the season. Mahomes’
75-yard touchdown pass
to Tyreek Hill tied it with
3:03 left, but Brady drove
the Patriots to Stephen
Gostkowski’s 28-yard
field goal as time expired.
The AFC championship
game is Brady’s first trip
to Kansas City since he
threw two interceptions
and was sacked twice
in an ugly 41-14 loss on
“Monday Night Football”
on Sept. 29, 2014.
“It’ll be a tough game,”
Brady said. “They’re wellcoached. They’ve got a
good offense. … It’s going
to be a lot of fun to go
back there and play in a
championship game and
try to advance.”
New Orleans (14-3)
Butch Dill | AP
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (13) is tackled by Philadelphia Eagles middle
linebacker Jordan Hicks (58) in the first half of an NFL divisional playoff football game Sunday in
New Orleans.
and Los Angeles (14-3)
played their own wild
shootout on Nov. 4. Wil
Lutz’s 54-yard field goal
got the lead for the Saints
with 6:23 left, and Brees
found Michael Thomas
for a clinching 72-yard
touchdown in a 45-35 victory.
“When we come out
there, we feel like no one
can stop us,” Thomas
said of his connection
with Brees. “I just feel
like we keep building
every week. We have a
thing, and it’s hard for the
other team to stop.”
The Saints averaged
31.5 points this season
on their way to the NFC
South title, ranking third
in the NFL behind the
Chiefs (35.3 points per
game) and Rams (32.9)
and ahead of the Patriots
(27.3).
It’s the first time in the
Super Bowl era that the
NFL’s top four scoring
offenses all reached the
conference championships.
But New Orleans’
defense played a crucial
role in its 20-14 win over
Philadelphia in the divisional round on Sunday.
Marshon Lattimore had
two interceptions, including one on the Eagles’
final drive, and the Saints
erased an early 14-0 deficit.
“We were real calm and
poised and we knew we
were going to get things
done,” Brees said.
Los Angeles advanced
by powering its way to a
30-22 win against Dallas
on Saturday. C.J. Anderson had 123 yards and
two touchdowns on the
ground, and Todd Gurley rushed for 115 more
yards and another TD.
“Our sense of focus and
the sense of urgency have
gone up tremendously,”
guard Rodger Saffold
said.
New England (12-5)
also showed off its rushing attack in a 41-28 win
against the Los Angeles
Chargers on Sunday. Sony
Michel rushed for 129
yards and three TDs.
The Patriots scored on
their first four possessions on their way to a
35-7 halftime lead.
“The ability to execute
early and get things going
sets a lot of things up,”
wide receiver Julian Edelman said. “It shows that
we had a good week of
practice, executed well
in practice and it carried
over and went into the
game.”
Kansas City (13-4) is
headed for its first AFC
title game in 25 years
after rolling to a 31-13
victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday.
Mahomes, who is one of
the favorites for the NFL
MVP award, passed for
278 yards and rushed
for a score in his playoff
debut.
“This is what we work
for,” Chiefs linebacker
Dee Ford said. “We just
want to keep this thing
rolling. Enjoy it now but
keep it rolling.”
Scoring machines power into championship
NEW ORLEANS
(AP) — So the big boys
showed up this weekend
and showed those usurpers from the wild-card
round how it’s done.
The top two seeds
from the AFC and NFC
returned to action in
their comfortable home
settings — ice and snow
and chills be darned in
the AFC — and swatted aside the survivors
of the opening set of
games. Only the Saints
struggled against the
resilient defending
Super Bowl champion
Eagles, and even as that
game wore on, New
Orleans wore out Philadelphia.
Sure, the Eagles had
a chance to move on
even after blowing an
early 14-0 lead and then
being dominated for
nearly three quarters.
But the Saints (14-3) got
through it, and they’ll
likely be the better for
it when they host the
Rams (13-4) next Sunday.
It’s certainly easier
on the nerves when
you pretty much blow
away the opposition, as
the Chiefs (13-4) and
Patriots (12-5) did. The
Rams never seemed
threatened by the Cowboys down the stretch
Saturday night. But
Drew Brees and company have some evaluating
and adjusting to do after
the banged-up Eagles
nearly pulled off another
stunner.
Brees is certain a lesson has been learned.
“We found a bunch of
ways to win during the
season,” Brees said after
the 20-14 victory . Every
game kind of stood
alone, but many of them

football game Sunday in Foxborough, Mass.
came down to third
quarter, fourth quarter,
second half-type comebacks and it took everybody. It took maybe a
big play on offense or a
big play on defense or a
big play on special teams
to kind of turn the tide.
But they were all great
team victories and it
looks like that carried
over into the playoffs.”
One lesson, perhaps,
from all four divisionalround contests: Balance
is going to matter.
We know these teams
can light up the scoreboard; for the first time,
the top four scoring
clubs in the league make
up the final four. But
if you can’t play solid
defense at some point,
you’re probably doomed.
“The only thing we’re
thinking is get on the
field and get back off the
field,” Patriots safety
Devin McCourty said
after a 41-28 romp over
the Chargers that was
not that close. “We play
defense. We know how
hard it is if an offense
has a long drive … and if
we can go and get stops
and get the (New England offense) right back
out there. It’s tough as a
defense, for one, to get
the adjustments that are
happening, to catch your
breath — like, you just
feel like you’re out there,
you’re out there.”
If there’s one defense
among the final four
that might not be on the
field for long stretches,
it could be New England
when it journeys to Kansas City. Not because the
Patriots are staunch, but
because the Chiefs have
a tendency to make big
plays, to score quickly.
New England — and
New Orleans — showed
tremendous aptitude for
long, clock-eating drives
on Sunday. The Rams
have their super running
back in All-Pro Todd
Gurley, and a dynamic
offensive scheme. No
matter how it’s sliced,
championship weekend
is going to have a shootout taste.
So let’s see who can
sour that taste with a
huge helping of D.
Maybe the Chiefs, who
romped past the NFL’s
hottest team, Indianapolis, 31-13. KC is adept at
rushing the passer and
that seemed to be its
only strength without
the ball. Ask Andrew
Luck and Marlon Mack,
though. They’ll bear
witness to the Chiefs’
ability to take control on
defense.
Maybe the Patriots,
who other than a long
TD pass to Keenan
Allen in the first quarter,
never were pushed by
Philip Rivers and the
Chargers’ offense until
garbage time.
Maybe the Rams,
who held league leader
Ezekiel Elliott to 47
yards rushing in a 30-22
victory over Dallas that
more one-sided than the
score shows.
And maybe the Saints,
who yielded 153 yards in
the first quarter at New
Orleans, then gave up 72
in the next two periods
combined.
Or maybe nobody, and
these two rematches of
points extravaganzas
will set all kinds of
records.
“It’s just about the
approach we are taking out there,” Chiefs
linebacker Anthony
Hitchens said. “It’s not
what coach is calling, it’s
not what we are doing,
it is how we are doing
it. We are playing with
aggressiveness, we are
having fun, we are jumping around. It’s just a
different type of feel and
vibe from our defense. It
is never too late, and we
caught on at the right
time, and these past
couple weeks we are
playing good ball and we
just need to keep doing
that.”
Times four.
