Johnson breaks Chiefs’ tackles record

GREEN BAY, Wis.

Linebacker Derrick Johnson hoped to arrive for the Chiefs’ “Monday Night Football” game against the Green Bay Packers as the team’s career leader in tackles.

That didn’t happen, but Johnson said he wouldn’t force the issue.

“In some games there are many opportunities, in other games there are less,” Johnson said before the game. “My main focus can’t be on that. I can’t worry about it.”

But it didn’t take long for Johnson to match the record. It happened in the first half Monday with his fourth tackle.

The record-breaker — career tackle No.
