“We’ve got a ton of work to do”, he said Wednesday, “but this group is willing to work and they don’t get caught up in that other stuff”. That was the last thing I thought….
“I give credit to our defense”, coach Andy Reid said. Although a cornerback leading the team in tackles is seldom a good thing.
“I think safety first”.
During the three-game winning streak, the Chiefs are plus-61 in point differential, plus-9 in turnover ratio and plus-6 in sack differential. He rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries.
The Chiefs struck in the first quarter and it was from an unlikely weapon.
“Are you going to be a pro, a man?” quarterback Philip Rivers asked, and the way he asked, it’s clear he doesn’t know if everyone will. “I think at this point it’s just being a pro”.

If you forced me to come up with a negative for the game it would be that the two-minute offense is still a problem. “With the way our schedule has been … we’ve been in playoff mode for the last three or four weeks”.
