The drive ended when he hit Tim Brown on the one-yard line, where Greg Wesley and Jerome Woods wrestled him to the ground as time expired. Priest Holmes proved to be the offensive star, rushing for 123 yards and a touchdown and catching four passes for 50 yards. Tony Gonzalez caught three passes for 87 yards. The third reception made Gonzalez the Chiefs all-time leading pass-catcher with 417 receptions. Henry Marshall, who was also a star at Mizzou, was the previous franchise record-holder.
