The Facts:
Andersen, the second-leading scorer in NFL history, was told Friday he has lost his job to a kicker 18 years younger. "A tough decision. A risky decision," head coach Dick Vermeil said. The 44-year-old Andersen has scored 2,259 points since breaking into the NFL with New Orleans in 1982. Only Gary Anderson has scored more.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Kicking for the Chiefs will be 26-year-old Lawrence Tynes, who is coming off two successful seasons with the Ottawa Renegades of the Canadian Football League. Tynes failed to unseat Andersen two years ago in the Chiefs' camp.
