Kansas City, Mo ? As if Priest Holmes, Tony Gonzalez and Dante Hall weren’t enough manpower for any offensive attack, now Kansas City is bringing its wide receivers into the mix.

Quarterback Trent Green, in a nearly flawless performance Sunday against Cleveland, spread the wealth. Holmes, Gonzalez and wide receiver Eddie Kennison each caught seven of the 29 passes Green completed in a 41-20 win that hoisted the Chiefs’ record to 9-0.

Kennison’s seven catches went for 115 yards, a season-high for a Kansas City wide receiver. He and fellow wideout Johnnie Morton each caught touchdown passes in what could be viewed as a coming-out party for the most underused phase of the NFL’s highest-scoring offense.

“You’re not going to score a lot of points until your wide receivers get in the mix,” coach Dick Vermeil said.

Offensive coordinator Al Saunders, who typically has more than 100 plays ready for each game, almost outdid himself being innovative.

Hall, the electrifying kick returner who has already scored this year as a wide receiver as well as running back punts and kickoffs, was called upon to try a trick pass to Morton.

He was tackled from behind and fumbled.

But that was about the only mistake the Chiefs made all day against a defense that was averaging just one touchdown allowed per game. Against the league’s toughest red zone defense, the Chiefs were 2-for-2.

In third-down conversions — which Kansas City has had trouble with this year — the Chiefs were 12-of-16, their best percentage since 1972 when the NFL began keeping that stat.

Overall, Vermeil thought Saunders did his best job yet in what has so far been a perfect season for the Chiefs.

“Yes, the players have to execute what’s called,” Vermeil said. “But I think Al did a great job in planning what he was going to call and controlling his calls and getting them called at the right time during the game. It kept them off balance a little bit. Some of the little wrinkles he put in with the other offensive coaches in the game plan were very effective.”

Going into the game, none of the Chiefs’ wide receivers ranked in the league’s top 100 even though the Chiefs’ offense overall is leading in points scored.

“(Cleveland) had played a lot of cover-two throughout the season,” said Green, who finished with a 119.9 quarterback rating — the third time in four games he was above 100.

“But obviously with Priest Holmes back there, you aren’t going to be able to do that. You have to bring that extra person down to stop the run. The guys had a lot of one-on-one opportunities and were able to get open.”

On the injury front, Vermeil said right tackle John Tait had a sprained ankle and might not be ready for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati.

Hall, who had a 77-yard kickoff return that helped turn the momentum to Kansas City, had a bruised clavicle. But Vermeil said it was not believed serious.
