Krieg Has Own Plan, Beats Seattle : AFC: Unprotected by Seahawks, he leads Chiefs to 26-7 victory over former teammates.

If it was anything special for Dave Krieg, he wasn’t letting on.

Krieg, who played 12 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, played against them for the first time Sunday and led the Kansas City Chiefs to a 26-7 victory.

“Just winning the game is satisfying, that’s the only thing,” said Krieg, who was signed by the Chiefs as a Plan B free agent. “I don’t take any special satisfaction in beating the Seahawks because I know how much those guys are hurting over there right now.

“I’ve had that feeling a lot. There is special satisfaction in winning the game, not because it’s the Seahawks.”

Krieg completed 13 of 19 passes for 231 yards, including a 72-yard touchdown pass play to J.J. Birden on the third play from scrimmage.

Krieg wouldn’t say if he had any inside information.

“Obviously, I was aware that these were guys that I had known and played with for a long time,” he said. “I knew if I just took care of my position, everything else would be all right.”

Kelly Stouffer, Krieg’s replacement with the Seahawks (0-2), completed 13 of 31 passes for 106 yards, including a three-yard touchdown pass to Paul Green in the second quarter.

With 5:07 left in the third quarter, Lonnie Marts intercepted Stouffer’s poorly thrown pass and ran 36 yards for a touchdown that gave Kansas City (2-0) a 20-7 lead.

“It was just absolutely my fault from the start of the play to the end of the play,” Stouffer said.

The victory gave Marty Schottenheimer his first 2-0 start in nine seasons as a head coach.

In eight previous seasons in Cleveland and Kansas City, Schottenheimer’s teams split their first two games.

Christian Okoye ran for 18 yards on his first carry and broke Ed Podolak’s Kansas City rushing record. Okoye finished with 63 yards for a total of 4,501.

“I had it in my mind that if I touched the ball on my first carry that I should get it,” he said. “But that wasn’t my focus. I just wanted to play well.”

Kansas City took a 13-7 halftime lead with field goals of 32 and 26 yards by Nick Lowery, then extended it to 20-7 midway through the third quarter on the Marts’ interception return.
