KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matt Cassel hit Dwayne Bowe for a 52-yard fourth-quarter touchdown pass, Ryan Succop was perfect on five field-goal attempts and the Chiefs held off the Minnesota Vikings 22-17.

Minnesota squandered first-half leads each of its first three games, and this time couldn’t hang on after Ryan Longwell’s field goal in the third quarter pushed them ahead. The Vikings are 0-4 for the first time since 2002.

Succop’s field goals included a career-long 54-yarder, and his total matched Jan Stenerud and Nick Lowery for the single-game franchise record. His accurate right leg had staked Kansas City (1-3) to a 15-10 lead by the start of the fourth quarter. Cassel dropped back to pass and saw Bowe get around Cedric Griffin, who slipped just after the snap, and hit his Pro Bowl wide receiver in stride. Bowe made a pirouette to get around safety Jamarca Sanford, then broke Griffen’s tackle, and trotted the last couple of yards for the touchdown.

The Chiefs play at Indianapolis next Sunday, then have their bye week in Week 6.
