After 11 games of mistakes, foul-ups, embarrassments and second-guesses, Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said Tuesday he’s confident that at least one of the organization’s controversial decisions was the right one.

"They tried to amputate it earlier. That was tough. I did some electric shock therapy. I don’t know what that had to do with my shoulder though. They recommended heroin, but I said that was against all league policies, so I stayed well away from that. I don’t even know what I’m doing. Rehab stuff. You’d have to talk to [the trainers] about that."
