Chiefs Claim Kyle Orton

I knew I forgot a potential team.

It was neither the Bears nor the Texans that got Kyle Orton. The Texans stated they didn't want him and the Bears didn't get a chance to claim him. Instead Orton goes to the Kansas City Chiefs who have lost their QB, Matt Cassel, for the year. Kyle Orton now has to try and lift the Chiefs back into playoff contention. The team is 4-6 and have a tough last 6 games ahead of them. All teams they have to face are currently at or above .500 right now with 4 of 6 above .500. It doesn't look good for the Chiefs in terms of a playoff appearance.

While Kyle Orton may help their team not look embarrassing, he won't be enough to get them past this group of opponents.
