The Associated Press reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson wasn't able to get into the open field Saturday, Aug. 23, against the Miami Dolphins. He was stuffed 2 yards short of the end zone on the team's opening drive of the second half. Johnson finished the game with 13 attempts for 36 yards, which included a 13-yard run. He also had one reception for 2 yards.

Johnson ran the ball 13 times for just 36 yards Saturday.
Recommendation: The Chiefs' offensive line just isn't capable of creating the holes Johnson's used to running through. If there's a silver lining here it's that KC running backs caught seven passes among them Saturday, and if that trend continues Johnson (who caught 30 passes in eight games last season after setting a career high with 41 receptions in 2006) could make up some of the slack in his production through the air.
