1st & 10 (Chiefs) - Charles ran inside left for a short pick up. Merriman brought him down. This is when a Chiefs player landed on Merriman's shoulder and he ran to the sidelines.

This play will be reviewed.
The ruling on the field has been reversed, he failed to maintain possession.
3rd & 8 - SACK. Spencer Johnson will likely get credit for the sack but Kyle Williams pushed a few guys back forcing Cassel to take a few steps back and Johnson tripped him up.
4th & 8 - Field Goal attempt is no good.
