KCSN Update:
KCSN’s BJ Kissel sits down with The Athletic's Nate Taylor to ask him his 5 Burning Questions following the Kansas City Chiefs AFC Championship game victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Quotable:
“Yeah, so actually I was like the last read on that play and it was like a zero-coverage to me and the cornerback. I think they doubled Trav (Kelce) – he was the first read. And once I (saw) that, the safety trigger on Trav and the corner was outside leverage I was like, ‘Yo, Pat, throw me the ball,’ (and) I threw my hand up. He’s always finding a way to get people the ball. He has eyes all over his head. He made it happen.” - Marquez Valdes-Scantling on his touchdown
“Yeah, sure, you go through that, you have to. And then you go off your gut feeling. You’re right at the area where some would say go for it and some would say kick it. I thought our defense was playing well enough where we surely could punt the ball – and with probably minimal seconds, more time on the clock get the ball back. We’ve been able to do some good things with limited time, so you have that in the back of your mind. And as far as the players go, we trusted the guys that were in there – they did a marvelous job for us. So, I’m proud of them and the coaches for at least having all these guys knowing the plays when they always don’t get that amount of reps, especially at different positions there. - Andy Reid on punting in the fourth quarter of the AFC title game
