The New York Jets traveled to Arrowhead Stadium to play the Kansas City Chiefs.  No one expected the current incarnation of the Jets to win.  Expectations were met.  And still there were lessons to be learned.  Here are three things we learned  from the game.

3. The New York Jets front line got outplayed by the Kansas City Chiefs front seven

While the Jets season is in a tailspin, the bright spot was the defense, specifically the front seven.  Were they overrated, too much optimism? 

But at the end of the game it was the Chiefs' defense that was the bright shining spot.  Specifically linebacker Justin Houston.  Houston completed the game with four tackles.  More importantly, he also had two sacks.  Both sacks came at the expense of the elusive Michael Vick.  Those two sacks bring Houston's season total to 12 sacks.

2. There was an Eric Decker sighting

Was it the change of quarterback?  Decker was targeted 12 times.  He caught nine passes for 63 yards and one touchdown.  That's one more touchdown than he had in the last two weeks.  That was one less target than Percy Harvin.  It isn't gang-busters, but it is a start. 

1. Michael Vick is a viable option

When Michael Vick's head bounced off the ground in the fourth quarter, Jets nation whispered "I told you so".  But then after going through the NFL's concussion protocal, Vick returned.  He not only returned but he has been named the starter for next week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

In the game Vick passes for 196 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions.  Yea, he is the better option.  Now if he can only stay healthy.

The New York Jets will limp into Arrowhead Stadium Sunday.  Last week an already inept offense contiuned a downward spiral with starting quarterback Geno Smith being benched in the first half after tossing three interceptions.  His replacement Michael Vick was responsible for one interception, four fumbles and four sacks. 

Meanwhile the Kansas City Chiefs made strides of getting back on track.  Quarterback Alex Smith passed for 223 yards.  He had no touchdowns but also had no interceptions or fumbles. 

Here are five things to know:

5. Geno Smith benched

After several inept performances Smith is benched for this game.  In his 2014 performances he has managed seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.  His quarterback rating hoovers at 65.6.  So now after a 1-7 record for the Jets, Smith is benched and Michael Vick has been named the starter. 

The real question is, is this benching Rex Ryan's last stand? 

4. Michael Vick's start is against his redemption coach

Vick will start against the man who hired him after his release from prison.  Andy Reid gave Vick his second chance with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009,  Vick started for Reid for three seasons including the 2010 season in which Vick won comeback player of the year. 

Does the familiarity of Reid with Vick make this an even more dominating performance from the Chiefs defense?  As if they needed more help. 

3. Jets offense is woefully bad

The Jets are 28th in total offense averaging 319.4 total yards a week.  They are 32nd in passing yards, averaging only 196.3 yards per game.  And they are 28th in points, averaging 18.0 points per game. 

The one glimmer of hope is running back Chris Ivory.  Ivory is averaging 4.7 yards a carry with five touchdowns.  Which coincidently is the only category the Jets rank top ten in the NFL.  They are fourth in rushing yards averaging 140.0 rushing yards a game.

Will Vick negatively impact Ivory's stats?

2. Chiefs Defense is Really Good

Last week against the St. Louis Rams the Chiefs collected seven sacks.  The Chiefs defense rank first is passing yards allowed with 215.4 passing yards a game.  They are tenth against the rush, allowing 112.9 rushing yards a game.  And thrid in points allowed, allowing 18.3 points per game.  They are the third overall best defense in the league.  And the third overall scoring defense in the league. 

Is it possible the Chiefs defense will put up more points than the Jets offense?  Ah-yep. 

1. Jets front seven is still pretty good

The Jets still have one of the best rushing defenses in the league.  They rank sixth in the league allowing 85.4 rushing yards per game.  Last week as they were getting scorched against the Buffalo Bills, the defensive line held the Bills rushing game to a total of 67 yards, total. 

They will be tested this week against running back Jamaal Charles.  Charles is averaging 4.58 yards per carry.   And when he is running well. so are the Chiefs. 

Will stopping Charles and the rushing offense of the Chiefs pave the way to a Jets win?

Arrowhead is notoriously unhospitable to visiting teams.  It's not the place for the Jets to get a much needed win.

Prediction: Chiefs 31-Jets 20

There are three players who caught my eye last year that could easily break out in the 2014 football season. Lets take a look at these players. 

Knile Davis 

Knile Davis entered his rookie career with the Chiefs last year with great stats. He carried the ball seventy times for 2,442 yards. A great average of 3.5 yards per carry. He also got four touchdowns to bring a wrap to his rookie year. I see Knile Davis breaking out this year, as the Cheifs can use him more, as Charles gets older and older. Charles was their whole offense last year, yet if something happens to him, Knile Davis can come and fill his shoes better than people think. 

Sanders Commings

Sanders Commings was the best pick up the Chiefs made in the 2013 NFL draft, yet with injuries he was un able to play most of the games in the season. Commings was praised by Andy Reid and said he could play everywhere on the defense. Commings can play as a corner back, or even go back as a free saftey. Commings will break out in 2014, if he can get back healthy from his broken ankle he suffered at Training Camp, thanks to Charles quick feet. This kid is a toss up, but when healthy could break out. 

Alex Smith

Lets take a step away from the young guys, and take a look at a leader and model for the Chiefs. Alex Smith had his best season with the Chiefs, with 3,313 yards, 23 touchdowns and seven interceptions. If Sanders can help the defense stop the other team, and Knile help the Chiefs running game, Smith could have an even better year. Charles helped Smith last year, because of the amount of play action plays. The defense was all over Charles, yet Smith was going deep. 

The Kansas City Chiefs are ready for the 2014 football season, are you ready?
