12/30 — Neither offense can do anything. The Chiefs get to the Jets 37 at the top of the final frame, only to fall back to the 49 when David Harris blitzes and takes down Brodie Croyle for the Green & White's second sack of the game.
Then the Jets get the next Dustin Colquitt punt and Leon Washington immediately bursts free for a 22-yard run, but three more Leon runs fail to reach the stick and Ben Graham is on again to punt.
On this time, Wallace Wright is there to take Eddie Drummond down after a 2-yard return, so the Jets continue to cling to the 10-3 lead — and to perhaps the sixth pick of the first round of the April draft, although that remains to be finalized — with less than seven minutes left.
David Barrett yields a Croyle 13-yard first-down completion to rookie WR Dwayne Bowe. Then TE Tony Gonzalez grabs a crossing pattern against S Eric Smith for another first. The Chiefs are back within 5 yards of midfield again.
Smith then blitzes from the blind side, but Croyle rolls out of the pocket and unloads out of bounds just in time. Now it's third-and-7 at their 48. But the Chiefs pick up the blitz to allow Croyle to hit Samie Parker against David Barrett, and now the Chiefs are 35 yards away from a potential tie ballgame.
