KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- In the aftermath of a lopsided loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, in primetime no less, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith acknowledged that you own this right now, you wear it and it stinks.The Chiefs will smell for quite a while.Their embarrassing 43-14 loss on Sunday night left them 2-2 through their first four games, and with more questions than answers heading into a week off.Their offense was inept, their defense was fileted by Ben Roethlisberger and Co., and even their usually solid special teams were a stumbling mess.Youd love to go into it on a better note, Smith said of the bye, but who knows? Whether we like it or not, its here. We have to use it. Get healthy, regroup and bounce back from this.Here are the grimy details from the Chiefs worst loss under Andy Reid:- They lost two turnovers, both of which turned into touchdowns. One was coughed up by suddenly fumble-prone Spencer Ware and the other was an interception on a screen pass flawed from the start.- Smith was sacked four times by a Steelers defense that had just one through the first three games.- Dustin Colquitt shanked a punt that gave the Steelers great field position, and Tyreek Hills punt return touchdown was wiped out by an illegal blocking penalty by Demetrius Harris.- One week after picking off six passes and forcing eight turnovers against the Jets, the Chiefs didnt force a single turnover against the Steelers. Roethlisberger was 22 of 27 for 300 yards and five scores, and LeVeon Bell ran for 144 yards in his return from a three-game suspension.You learn a lot about yourself when you get your butt kicked, Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said.The best thing about it is it counts as one game. It does not put a damper on the season, and it does not set us into panic mode. Do we need to figure it out? Yes we need to figure it out.The onus on that falls on Reids shoulders.Long recognized as an offensive mastermind, Reid has stumbled through most of the first four weeks.The Chiefs needed a frantic comeback to beat the Chargers in their opener, then failed to score a touchdown in a loss at Houston, before scoring just one offensive TD against the Jets.On Sunday night, the Chiefs didnt reach the end zone until the fourth quarter.Even more damning about the performance? It came a week after the Eagles, led by former Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson, blitzed past Pittsburgh in a 34-3 rout.This one we didnt sustain. We just werent able to sustain drives, Reid said Monday. We had a couple opportunities in the red zone we didnt take advantage of. I have to look in the mirror on that one.Perhaps the only bright spot against Pittsburgh was the return of Jamaal Charles, who tore the ACL in his right knee in Week 5 last season.But the four-time Pro Bowl running back only carried twice and perhaps was pressed into service earlier than desired because of an injury to Charcandrick West.Charles came out of the game healthy, but its unclear what his workload will be like going forward.Well see. Well just play it by ear, Reid said. See how hes feeling and the production and all of those things. Weve got 12 games here to figure that out.Reid said the Chiefs would spend Monday digesting the loss, then cut his players loose for the remainder of the bye week. The NFL has rules about how much they can be in the building during a week off.Still, that doesnt mean the loss wont linger with them.Were 2-2, so its not the end of the world, right? Even though it feels that way, Reid said. We have a week off to step back and analyze and try to fix some of the issues.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Sean Couturier Jersey .

And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers.

Greater Western Sydneys remarkable bid for an AFL top-two finish is poised to take another step closer to reality against an injury-ravaged Gold Coast on Saturday.The contrast between the two expansion clubs couldnt be more stark heading into the round-20 clash at Metricon Stadium.The Suns sit 14th on the ladder after another season wrecked by injury woes while the Giants are behind only Hawthorn after a run of six wins in their past seven matches.No team has a greater percentage (142) than the Giants, while only Adelaide (1984) have scored more points than Leon Camerons men (1963) in 2016.The Suns suffered a further injury setback in the build-up to the match with veteran defender Nick Malceski (knee) and midfielder Jesse Lonergan (shoulder) ruled out.The pair join an injury list that boasts 11 senior players including club captain Gary Ablett and midfield stars Jaeger OMeara, David Swallow and Dion Prestia.One player who is still fit and firing for the Suns is key forward Tom Lynch, described by AFL great Jonathan Brown earlier this week as the best player in the game.Giants defender Adam Tomlinson says Lynch, who has kicked 57 goals this year to sit third inn the Coleman Medal race, is definitely one threat the visitors need to neutralise.ddddddddddddTheyve got three big boys up in their forward line in (Peter) Wright, (Sam) Day and Tom Lynch, who is probably one of the best players to come around, Tomlinson said.Theyve got some new faces in their midfield, but if they get the ball forward they can do a lot of damage.The Suns have included Sean Lemmens and Mitch Hallahan to replace Malceski and Lonergan.Suns coach Rodney Eade says with so many of his running midfield options sidelined, he has little option but to try and slow the game down.I dont think we can have a shootout (with) their ability to score on the counter attack and score on turnover and theyre very quick, he said.If we have a shootout and its quick both ways, itd suit them, so well have to have some measures at times.The Giants have made two changes from the team that thrashed Richmond last weekend with Adam Kennedy omitted and Dylan Shiel ruled out with a groin injury. Nick Haynes and Lachie Whitfield will replace them. ' ' '
