Return of the Aints? KC keeps New Orleans winless

Brees throws an O-fer in 4th quarter and OT as Chiefs triumph 27-24

NEW ORLEANS - Who dat? More like WTF?

The winless New Orleans Saints dropped another one Sunday, this time in overtime at home to the previously inless Kansas City Chiefs.

Drew Brees passed for 240 yards and three touchdowns but missed all six of his passes through the fourth quarter and overtime.

Ryan Succop kicked six field goals, one to force overtime in the final seconds and another from 31 yards to lift the Chiefs to a 27-24 victory over the Saints.

Succop's 43-yard field goal with 3 seconds left completed a methodical comeback by Kansas City (1-2) after the Saints (0-3) had cashed in on a pair of Chiefs turnovers to go ahead 24-6 in the third quarter.

Kansas City needed only one touchdown for the win, a 91-yard run by Jamaal Charles, who finished with 233 yards rushing and 55 yards receiving.

The Chiefs also got a safety in the fourth quarter on Justin Houston's third sack of the game.
