Yes, the NFL is playing again in London and football fans have been blessed with another early morning snoozer.

But as the Chiefs' rout of the Lions continues, at least Alex Smith has been putting on a show. The Kansas City QB has already run for a TD and passed for another but his 49-yard dash just might be the highlight of the morning. 

Smith might not have Colin Kaepernick speed, but he's making the Lions defense look silly.

The Chiefs are up big in the third quarter, 31-3. The 1-6 Lions are on their way to their second straight loss and one long flight back to Detroit.
