Chiefs’ Jamaal Charles is in that category, and being able to finish with 1,000 yards is definitely a big deal to him. “That would be real special,” he said, smiling when the subject is raised. “My fullbacks and line, we’re really trying to get there. My line is with me, my quarterback is with me, my wide receivers, everybody is in with me. They want me to get it.” To Charles, 1,000 yards is still the magic number that separates the great backs from the good ones. That leaves Charles with plenty of work to do in Sunday’s final game of the season against the Broncos in Denver if he’s to reach 1,000. He needs at least 139 yards. But during the first eight games, Charles was a little-used backup in seven and, inexplicably, inactive for another. So it’s natural for the Chiefs to wonder where Charles might be if he had been a regular the entire season. Since he became the featured back in the Nov. 15 game, Charles has 709 yards, second in the league to Johnson and his 913 yards.
