KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For the third week in a row, winless Kansas City is making a change at starting quarterback.

Coach Herm Edwards said Wednesday that Damon Huard, the 12-year veteran backup, will get the nod against the unbeaten Denver Broncos. Tyler Thigpen, the former seventh-round pick from Coastal Carolina who got his first NFL start last week, is headed back to the bench. But he may see action again before regular starter Brodie Croyle returns from a shoulder injury.
