Chiefs' youth versus Ravens' experience

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Todd Haley did a nose count to see how many Kansas City Chiefs own what he calls "priceless" playoff experience and was pleased to find that 21 do.

That also means 32 don't.

Players who were a key to Kansas City's six-game improvement such as Jamaal Charles and Tamba Hali will be tasting playoff pressure for the first time when the Chiefs host the battle-savvy Baltimore Ravens Sunday in a 1 p.m. EST kickoff on Arrowhead Stadium's cold, hard turf.

If playoff experience proves the deciding edge, the Ravens (12-4) should be on their way to their fourth playoff win in three seasons. Cast as the wild-card team because they lost the tiebreaker to Pittsburgh, the Ravens are 3-2 in road playoff games since January 2009.

The last time the Chiefs (10-6) won a playoff game, Haley was giving golf lessons on Long Island, wondering if a career change would be a good idea. Now, 17 years later, the Chiefs are AFC West champs and in search of their first playoff win since Joe Montana took them to the AFC title game in 1994.

Reed's brother is jumper?

Family members say they believe a brother of Ravens safety Ed Reed is the man who jumped into the Mississippi River as he ran from police in St. Rose, La.

Karen Reed says investigators found 28-year-old Brian Reed's shoes and jacket. She is the mother of Ed and Brian Reed. Karen Reed also says the car the man ran from belonged to another brother.

St. Charles Parish Sgt. Dwayne LaGrange said authorities were unable to identify the man. He says the man jumped into the river around 10 a.m. Friday when a deputy told him to put his hands behind his back.

Authorities have called off the search for the missing man.
