They have ' been getting where wan urry recently. tb Is are the only NFL team this season not to be hindered by the 40-second play clock, their uddle attack hasn't been over opponents. The Bills used it exclusively, either. B~t the Kansas City Chiefs are prellQring for a large dose of the no-huddle in Sunday's AFC cham- pionship game. "Tfiey'U do that hurry·up offense, that's for sure," Chiefs cornerback Taylor said. "That's 80 percent their offense. You just play in a two-minute mode the whole game. Where the two-minute game is u8urJly the shortest part of. y~ur (game, now it becomes the mB,Jonty. Tha1's all it is.

The Chiefs blanked them for the final 53:56. "That's one we'd like to put back and not look at," Bills quarterback Jim Kelly said . "It was our bad play that got us in trouble. "Ever since I've played against the Chiefs, it was always a game if L....:=o-' we won, we had to have a top-notch day. Neil Smith and Derrick Thomas are as quick as you11 fmd as pass rushers. The key to the game is slow them down." The key for the Chiefs is the same - slow down the hurry-up. That means; - Strong pressure on Kelly, just like they got on Houston's Warren Moon last week, when the Oilers yielded nine sacks.
