What did Chiefs players, coach say after win vs. Chargers?
After the game, Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid faced the press. They mainly discussed Travis Kelce's huge performance:
"It's almost like he's playing Madden, like he can read the coverage, stop in the windows, be open and be on the same page as me at all times. He did a great job," Mahomes on Kelce (via ESPN).
"(He) keeps getting better with time. Taylor can stay around all she wants," Reid on Kelce (via ESPN).
Another major topic was Mecole Hardman's return to Arrowhead. Mahomes said:
"It's impressive because (Hardman) didn't have the season that he wanted in New York but to be able to come back, have confidence, not be down on himself and know that whenever he gets his opportunity, he's going to do the most with it. It's another piece that we can add to the offense, and that speed is hard to replicate."
Reid said:
"It's a tough thing. I mean, he's been away for six months or so. Going through all their [plays] and learning that offense and then coming back to this is not easy to do. But Mecole is really smart. He's a smart kid, innately smart kid, so it wasn't hard for him to jump back in, pick up a few things that we had in the game plan and roll with those."
The head coach also took the time to discuss the wrist injury that linebacker Nick Bolton sustained, saying:
"We're working on that now, and we'll see how he does."
Next, the Chiefs will visit the Denver Broncos on October 29.
