<table> </table> <strong><span class="subhead">Smith out for the season</span></strong></p><p>Running back Kolby Smith is lost for the season after he injured a knee in the second quarter. Given Larry Johnson&#8217;s suspension, that leaves the Chiefs with Jamaal Charles, Dantrell Savage and Jackie Battle at running back for next Sunday&#8217;s game against the Chargers in San Diego.</p><p>Battle, who played for the Chiefs late last season, was promoted from the practice squad for Sunday&#8217;s game, but he didn&#8217;t get the ball.</p><p>Linebacker Derrick Johnson and cornerback Brandon Flowers went out with hamstring injuries, and neither player returned.</p><p>Punter Dustin Colquitt and cornerback Patrick Surtain didn&#8217;t dress for the game because of injuries.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Not liking the call</span></strong></p><p>Predictably, the Chiefs were unanimous in their opinion of the pass-interference penalty call against Tony Gonzalez that cost them a first down on a late fourth-quarter drive.</p><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand it,&#8221; said Gonzalez, who was called for pushing Ronde Barber to create a passing lane. &#8220;I don&#8217;t agree with it. That&#8217;s how it goes. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m calling a referee out. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m going to get fined for saying that.&#8221;</p><p>Quarterback Tyler Thigpen said, &#8220;I think that&#8217;s a no-call.&#8221;</p><p>Wide receiver Mark Bradley was near the play.</p><p>&#8220;I just thought the guy fell down,&#8221; Bradley said. &#8220;You&#8217;d think a Hall of Famer would get a call.&#8221;</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Talib&#8217;s day</span></strong></p><p>Former Kansas cornerback Aqib Talib, the Buccaneers&#8217; first-round draft pick this year, served as Tampa Bay&#8217;s nickel back and was matched up with the Chiefs&#8217; Dwayne Bowe. Bowe beat him for the game&#8217;s first touchdown, but Talib made a nice play breaking up another pass intended for Bowe.</p><p>&#8220;This was a great day,&#8221; Talib said. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter how you start, it&#8217;s how you finish. We&#8217;ll take it.&#8221;</p><p>Talib had dinner on Saturday night with some of his former Kansas teammates and got them sideline passes for the game.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Bucs&#8217; best coach</span></strong></p><p>With Sunday&#8217;s win, Jon Gruden became the Buccaneers&#8217; all-time leader in wins by a coach with 57 (54 regular season and three postseason wins), surpassing Tony Dungy, who had 56 victories during 1996-01. Gruden, in his seventh season with the Bucs, has won three division titles, the most in team history, and led the team to its first Super Bowl win following the 2002 season.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Props for plays</span></strong></p><p>Gruden was impressed with the Chiefs&#8217; play-calling on Sunday, especially the direct snaps to running back Jamaal Charles and the 37-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver Mark Bradley to quarterback Tyler Thigpen.</p><p>&#8220;They really had us on the ropes,&#8221; Gruden said. &#8220;It was a unique package. Maybe we&#8217;ll steal a few of those ideas next week.</p><p>&#8220;We played a young quarterback with life in his legs. They&#8217;ve got some good players. Charles, Tony Gonzalez, they&#8217;ve got some talent and skill. And Bowe is a heck of a receiver. They had us mixed up a little bit. They did a nice job running the ball from some weird formations and some play-action passes that were just downright nasty.&#8221;</p><p>The Buccaneers couldn&#8217;t believe the Chiefs have won just one game this season.</p><p>&#8220;Kansas City is definitely one of those teams where their record is not who they are on the field,&#8221; said Tampa Bay wide receiver Antonio Bryant. &#8220;They&#8217;re a team that could sneak up on you and beat you.&#8221;</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Improved run defense</span></strong></p><p>Tampa Bay rushed for only 81 yards, the lowest total the Chiefs allowed this season. They last allowed fewer in a November game last season at Indianapolis, when they yielded 66.</p><p>The Bucs rushed 25 times but had no gain of more than 10 yards.</p><p>Tampa played without its second-leading rusher, Warrick Dunn, who was inactive because of an injury.</p><p><strong><span class="subhead">Triple-threat Thigpen</span></strong></p><p>Quarterback Tyler Thigpen became the fifth player in team history to throw for a touchdown and also score by rushing and receiving. The others are Marcus Allen, Bert Coan, Mike Garrett and Curtis McClinton.</p><p>Thigpen is the only QB in the group. The others were running backs.
