Kansas City Chiefs still churning out yards without Jamaal Charles

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nobody will ever confuse Spencer Ware or Charcandrick West for Jamaal Charles.

Ware is a former sixth-round pick who didn't play a game last season, and landed with the Kansas City Chiefs almost as an afterthought. West was an undrafted free agent out of tiny Abilene Christian who had carried the ball a handful of times before Charles was lost to a season-ending knee injury.

It turns out the two of them together have been just as productive.

Forming a quintessential thunder-and-lightning combination, Ware and West have combined with the scrambling of quarterback Alex Smith to make the Chiefs one of the most productive running teams in the entire NFL.
