Kansas City Chiefs' Andy Reid has experience pulling team from a slump | ESPN
Of all these slumps, their current situation most resembles that of 2013, unfortunately for the Chiefs. They started this season 5-0 and were the NFL’s last remaining undefeated team.

Wilson meanwhile is the offense’s Chief spark plug. He’s an emotional leader on the field, but his energy also comes in handy in other ways. The Chiefs like to use Wilson on their motion jet sweep packages. He also does much of the dirty work in underneath routes that help clear space for other receivers.
Those intangibles actually translate into a measurable statistic. The NFL compiles a statistic called net yards over average. The number calculates the value of a player in specific situations versus the league average. Among Kansas City’s everyday players, Wilson leads the way with 1.72 net yards over average per play on the field. Conley ranks second with 1.66 net yards over average.
Chiefs' Marcus Peters wants Trump to meet with him, Marshawn Lynch | The Kansas City Star
On Monday, Trump tweeted about Peters’ mentor, Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch, writing that Lynch should be suspended by the NFL for the rest of the season because he stood for the Mexican national anthem and sat down “to boos for our National Anthem. Great disrespect!”
“Remember, [2017] is really his rookie year,” Reid added. “But I think we have a nice rotation there with [Derrick Johnson] and him and (Kevin) Pierre-Louis. We’re able to keep everybody fresh and playing downhill and the whole deal, so I think it’s a positive thing there.”

He didn’t want to blame the stalled offense on injuries. Asked if the Chiefs have been hurt by having starting wide receivers Chris Conley out for the season and Albert Wilson missing action because of a hamstring injury, Reid said he’s been happy with Robinson and DeAnthony Thomas. Rookie Jehu Chesson got seven snaps on Sunday.
“We’ve got young guys out there learning and getting better as they go on,” Reid said.

“Came in this morning, guys were already stretching, music playing, guys hyped in the locker room. You want to see that. That’s passion for the game.”
