--Linebacker Donnie Edwards' streak of 156 NFL starts -- the fourth-longest starting streak among active NFL players -- likely will end this week.

The 35-year-old Edwards, who played through an ongoing battle with hamstring problems last year, sustained a foot or ankle injury -- the Chiefs aren't being specific -- during last week's Atlanta game. He likely will be down for two games or more.

--Since 1994, six games between Kansas City and Denver have been decided by defensive or special teams scores in the fourth quarter or overtime. Kansas City won four of the six.

BY THE NUMBERS: 16 -- 10-plus-yard running plays yielded by the Chiefs this year.

8 -- Kansas City runs exceeding 10 yards or more.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "Huge. Like three Christmases rolled into one with New Years and everything else." -- Herm Edwards, on how much a victory over anyone would mean to a Chiefs team in a 12-game losing streak dating back to the 2007 season.
