CHIEFS come up short of predictions, succumb to Footsteps Falco, 169.48-150.42

CHIEFS were unable to bring their A game, falling short of their projected point total, as Footsteps Falco came back to earn a 169.48-150.42 win. Despite trailing 135.82-100.28 heading into Sunday night, Footsteps Falco roared back behind David Montgomery (103 Rush Yds, 40 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Davante Adams (6 Rec, 61 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Derrick Henry (52 points) and Baker Mayfield (39.42) did everything they could for CHIEFS in defeat. Footsteps Falco (9-3) will look to notch another W against Contact, while CHIEFS (9-3) attempt to get back in the win column against Suck My Johnson.

Coach Talk

Footsteps Falco
Nice job, Footsteps Falco. Deploying a lineup that won by more than 19 points in Week 12. Let's keep this momentum as we step into our next challenge in Week 13.
CHIEFS
You can take solace in the fact that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Footsteps Falco succeed... and maybe one day, they'll return the favor by taking a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something like that). Keep your head up, CHIEFS!
