KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The play that may have netted Chiefs safety Eric Berry the AFC defensive player of the week award was a game-changing pick-six in the fourth quarter that helped Kansas City rally past Carolina.Its not the play Berry remembers most fondly from last weekend.The Chiefs were trailing 17-3 when the Panthers began a march that ultimately lasted 20 plays and chewed up more than 10 minutes. But in what is becoming very Chiefs-like fashion, Kansas City responded with back-to-back sacks to not only force fourth down but take Carolina out of field-goal range.That was my favorite part of the game, Berry said. Those are the little things that people dont notice, but those are the things that set you up.The Chiefs (7-2) have ripped off five straight wins to climb into a tie atop the AFC West and get into position for a first-round playoff bye. And theyve done it with a defense that has done everything -- big things and little -- so well that the Chiefs have been able to overcome a lackluster offense.Along with turning back Carolinas potentially game-sealing drive, and Berrys interception return for a touchdown, Marcus Peters stripped Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin in the final minute to give Kansas City kicker Cairo Santos a chance to knock through the winning field goal on the road.As a result, the Chiefs won a game in which they converted just two third downs, never scored on three trips inside the red zone and wound up with less than 260 yards of total offense.We practice very hard, put in a lot of work and a lot of hours, and really putting in more than is required, Berry said. So were going to keep putting those things in and hope itll pay off for us.Its not like the Chiefs are the 2016 version of the Steel Curtain, though. Theyre more like a rubber band, stretching and yielding but seemingly always springing back to shape.Part of that is due to turnovers: They are a league-leading plus-14 in turnover margin.This team has such a great belief, whether its offense, defense or special teams, this team takes so much pride in playing together as a team, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. We find a way, lean on one another and being in those types of environments helps. The more you play in types of games, not just this year but for the guys that have been here, that often contributes to when it does get down to crunch time and when you fall behind. Theres never a panic, we just go about our business.Smith acknowledged that the defense cant keep bailing them out, though, and pointed to third downs and the red zone as areas where Kansas City needs to make crucial improvement. The Chiefs are converting just 34.7 percent of third downs, which is 29th out of 32 teams. And they are scoring touchdowns on 40 percent of red-zone trips, which is tied for 30th.You cant beat yourself, especially in this kind of offense, Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley said. You cant have false starts, mental errors. You have to execute.But if not on offense, at least on defense. And so far that hasnt been a problem.Kansas City could be getting even better, too, if four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Justin Houston comes back at close to 100 percent. Houston has been out since surgery in February to repair the ACL in his left knee, and there have been indications this week that he could make his season debut on Sunday at home against Tampa Bay.Well just see. Hes feeling pretty good, coach Andy Reid said. Well get him out there, see what he can do, move him around a little bit. At any point it becomes an issue, well step him back.Besides, what rush is there the way the Chiefs are playing these days?Game notes RB Jamaal Charles had had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Monday, trainer Rick Burkholder said. Charles had a similar procedure on his right knee a few weeks ago. Both have had ACL reconstructions and had been causing Charles pain this season. He remains on injured reserve. ...

In an unexpected turn of events, Robert Wobbles Wright found himself going into the grand finals without dropping a set at the Evolution Championship Series in 2013, the same event that included all five gods of Super Smash Bros. Melee. The beloved Ice Climbers player triumphed over Joseph Mango Marquez, Kevin PPMD Nanney and Juan Hungrybox Debiedma. But the storybook run came to an abrupt end as Mango recovered from the losers bracket to defeat Wobbles in two consecutive sets.Fans hoped that the second place finish at Evo 2013 was a start of things to come, but Wobbles lived true to his word and retired from competitive play. For the next couple of years, Wobbles shifted from a player to a community figure, primarily as a commentator at majors and as a teacher at local tournaments in Texas.Occasionally, he competed at larger regionals -- he did phenomenally well for a player out of commission -- defending his turf from the likes of Jason Mew2King Zimmerman, Weston Westballz Dennis, and Joey Lucky Aldama. Wobbles viewed Smash majors as fun events to hang out with friends. It wasnt always smooth sailing, though. In 2015, he entered Evo with Mario and finished in 129th place.On November 2015, Wobbles signed with esports team Panda Global as a commentator and a competitor. Since then, he has found himself competing at events with a mix of peaks and valleys in both performance and mindset. He performed well at the Low Tier City events in Texas, but he also finished an abysmal 97th at Genesis 3.While most Ice Climbers prefer efficiency by wobbling their opponents, Wobbles, despite what his name might suggest, prefers other unique options and uses de-syncs to create highlight-worthy combos. For Wobbles, the innovation brings him more enjoyment than mashing A at a set rhythm over and over again, but hes realized that this hasnt led to the best results.I look at some of the sets Ive lost, he said. There have been many close games where I lose by a stock because I went for a riskier play instead of wobbling.There are two Wobbles: one that loves to play for fun and one that plays competitively. Wobbles laments what competition turns him into, sheepishly admitting that he turns into a sore loser. Given his competitive drive, he notes that its very frustrating to play in try-hard mode.In a tournament set, I have to play safe when Im going for the win and focus on what works, he said.dddddddddddd In the Peach matchup, I blizzard and set up walls for the entire match. Eventually, I get bored and mess up, then he takes the stock.Even when Wobbles won a set, he frequently left upset and tilted. He realized he was okay with playing competitively and wobbling against better players like Hungrybox or Mew2king, but he didnt always see it that way when facing players in a lower tier. Every moment against a better player was a learning experience for him to refine his gameplay. Coming off this epiphany, he shifted his mindset towards playing competitively against other players as well.Ive turned tournament sets into a teacher-student relationship with my opponent, he said. I bring in situations to see if they can deal with it. If they make dumb mistakes, then they need to learn. Im the teacher passing out the test.In regards to wobbling, he added, If my opponent ended up getting wobbled seven or eight times in a set, they clearly didnt pass the test. Study and come back next time because you didnt learn and certainly didnt deserve the win.The teacher-student mentality has liberated Wobbles from the issues of playing his hardest. Still, he knows hes at his best when his overall mindset is not so much about winning as it is about keeping a healthy mental state. In the past month, Wobbles has focused on playing Overwatch and strumming the guitar instead of grinding on Melee. This allows him to stay calm and become less frustrated with the game while maintaining his mood and energy levels.Back in 2013, I was having fun and enjoying the moment, he said. Defeating three gods and finishing in second was the byproduct. My main focus this time is just to have a good mindset, have fun, and enjoy myself as much as possible while not intentionally sabotaging my chances [by not wobbling].Pretty much the moment I am facing anybody who constitutes the slightest threat at Evo, theyre getting wobbled. Mercilessly.- PG Wobblin Wobbles (@PG_Wobbles) July 6, 2016A mentally healthy Wobbles is definitely a scary one. Hes performed well in Texas over the past two years, but can he perform at a national level again? Maybe well see a glimmer of Evo 2013 Wobbles this weekend. ' ' '
