(AP) -- Jamaal Charles rushed for 116 yards and
Matt Cassel threw a 3-yard pass to Leonard Pope for the only
touchdown, leading Kansas City to a ragged 10-6 victory over Denver
on Sunday.

 Knowshon Moreno rushed for 161 yards for the Broncos (3-9), who
are enduring one of their worst stretches in decades, losing 17 of
their past 22 games under coach Josh McDaniels.

 In spite of all their blunders, the Chiefs (8-4) stayed unbeaten
in six home games and remained on top of the AFC West.

 Chiefs coach Todd Haley, who refused to shake hands with
McDaniels after losing in Denver three weeks ago, embraced his
counterpart this time and even gave him a pat on the head.
