This award comes after his punt return for a touchdown last week against the Raiders where the crowd was chanting his name before the return. And he delivered.
What a perfect situation for him in Kansas City.

This reminds me of what Chris Jones said after the game. He said he doesn’t know why teams still kick to him but “now they have a clue.” Indeed.
