Coach Talk

CHIEFS
Narrow wins like this are paramount for the locker room. Persevering through trials and tribulations, while succeeding in the face of adversity... we expect the CHIEFS team chemistry to be stronger than ever heading into Week 2.
The Flying Wedgies
Normally, missing a field goal isn't any reason to worry, but talk about impeccable timing: Matt Prater went 3-for-4 on FGs instead of 4-for-4, and The Flying Wedgies lost the matchup by 2.59 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
