The Facts:
When Green made his return six weeks ago, Herman Edwards said he'd stick with his quarterback through rain, snow, picks, sacks, and, ultimately, boos. That mantra has changed a little. The Chiefs are in the playoffs now, and Edwards said if the offense struggles and needs a jolt Saturday in Indianapolis, he'd be willing to insert Damon Huard.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
"You have to win the game," Edwards said Tuesday. "There's no tomorrow. ..." Green has thrown seven touchdowns and nine interceptions and has been sacked 24 times. His three-turnover day against the Jaguars no doubt further agitated the boo-birds who sat in the rain. Huard has 11 touchdowns to one interception and carries a passer rating of 98.0. He's given the Chiefs something they haven't had in years — a proven backup good enough to make the masses clamor for a switch. ... And an option for Edwards if things go bad Saturday.
