No fine, but man, that scared the piss out of me. LJ is a frigging stud, that's for sure. Dude turned him into an owl for a second, there. It was a cheap tackle, but all the Chiefs got out of it was half the distance to the goal line. LJ was gone for a TD when the guy nailed him (they did score in the end, but still...). He already had 79 yards on the screen play (longest reception of his career), and would have taken the last 8 yards if he hadn't been snagged like a paddlefish first. Maybe I'm a bit of a Local Booster, but I think you could make a pretty good case for Larry Johnson being the best guy in football right now, if you consider his performance from last year to present.
LJ is listed as Probable against the Steelers this weekend. Gonna be a tough one for us. Besides Green still recovering from having his head slammed to the turf, we have a starting offensive lineman out and a starting cornerback out.
