New England 10 NY Giants 9 (halftime, 580 WIBW)
A complete story on the game will be posted early Monday morning.
Brian Daboll will be formally announced Monday as the new offensive coordinator of the Chiefs. Daboll most recently was with Miami for three years and Cleveland for a season before that. He also spent seven seasons at New England working with Chiefs GM Scott Pioli and head coach Romeo Crennel. The hire continues the pattern of Pioli acquiring former New England employes or players.
Willie Roaf was one of four linemen to be selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday in Indianapolis. Roaf began his career with New Orleans as a right tackle, then moved to left tackle and became the dominant player at that spot in the 1990s and 2000s. He spent his final six seasons with the Chiefs, nailing down the left side for the record setting offenses coached by Dick Vermeil. Roaf was an 11 time Pro Bowl player in his 13 year career. The other Chief making the 15 man list of finalists, Will Shields, did not get selected. Shields was in his first year of eligibility. The others that got in were defensive end Chris Doleman of Minnesota, Seattle defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy, Pittsburgh center Dermontti Dawson and running back Curtis Martin, who played primarily for New England and the New York Jets. Senior nominee Jack Butler was also voted in. The six will be inducted into the Hall in August in Akron, Ohio. Also not making the Hall was Bill Parcells, the legendary coach who won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants. Parcells is a Wichita State graduate and the father-in-law of Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli.
