KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs successfully pulled off the 1-yard touchdown run by a nose tackle, Dontari Poe, in last week's game against the San Diego Chargers. Everything from the handoff from quarterback Alex Smith to the 346-pound Poe's dive over the line of scrimmage was flawless.
That doesn't mean there weren't nervous moments. Smith said he was surprised at the play call, with the Chiefs facing a fourth-and-goal situation.
Offensive coordinator Doug Pederson acknowledged the risks.
