As playoffs near, Chiefs hope to rev up ground game | The Kansas City Star
“(We were) real confident,” running back Spencer Ware said. “Toward the end of the second half, we started to move the front a little bit. That’s a credit to our offensive line for making some space for us running backs.”

Former NFL coach and ESPN analyst Herm Edwards thought Del Rio was probably second-guessing the third-and-1 call. Peters is the Chiefs’ best cover corner. Holmes is the Raiders’ No. 4 wide receiver.
