Dwayne Bowe and Thomas Jones scored two touchdowns apiece and the Kansas City Chiefs snapped a two-game losing streak with a 31-13 victory over the visiting Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Coupled with Oakland’s 35-3 loss at Pittsburgh, the Chiefs (6-4) retook sole possession of first place in the AFC West.
Kansas City’s Matt Cassel was 15 of 24 for 193 yards. He has 18 touchdown passes and four interceptions this season. Bowe had six catches for 109 yards.
Bowe caught a 38-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter and had a 1-yard TD reception in the second quarter. He leads NFL receivers with a career-high 11 touchdown catches and has 10 in his last six games.
Jamaal Charles rushed for 88 yards and Jones had 71 as the Chiefs finished with 159 yards on the ground. They entered the game No. 1 in the NFL with an average of 165.3 yards.
Arizona’s opening drive ended with a 36-yard field goal by Jay Feely, but the Cardinals’ final five possessions of the first half ended with punts.
Derek Anderson finished 25 of 46 for 295 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald as time expired for the Cardinals (3-7), who have lost five straight.
