FLAG DAY

I went extra slow." — Chiefs safety Eric Berry, who played at Arrowhead Stadium for the first time since he was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma last December. Berry was deemed cancer-free in June after several rounds of chemotherapy.
"You know what? For being a makeshift group, I thought they were OK," Reid said of his line, which was missing left tackle Eric Fisher to an ankle injury and right guard Jeff Allen to a knee sprain. "They tightened up a little bit and got better."
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll? He remains decidedly noncommittal about his own.
"I just sat back and read his eyes," said Wagner, who scored his first touchdown since he was a high school tight end. "I've never had a pick-six in my life. It felt amazing."
Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch made the trip but did not play, while S Kam Chancellor was again absent as his holdout continues. The Chiefs used RB Jamaal Charles sparingly as they try to keep his workload down in the preseason.
