De'Anthony Thomas returns kickoff for touchdown | The Kansas City Star
The kickoff was short. Thomas gathered it in at the 5-yard line and a hole opened up the middle. He juked Cyril Grayson Jr., around the 40, headed down the right sideline and into the end zone.
“I wanted to use my speed to get to the edge, and from there just finish it,” Thomas said.
Not only did the play give the Chiefs a boost, Thomas also needed something good to happen. On two previous kickoff returns, he muffed one, dropping it at the 1 and returning it to the 4, and made a poor decision to bring out another one. That return put the Chiefs at the 12.

I think it’s notable that rookie Kareem Hunt was the only other Chiefs running back to carry the ball in the first half, and I’ve been telling you guys for a month that he has a chance to be special in this offense. You should have already picked him up as a stash candidate in fantasy; if he’s somehow still available, jump on it — just be prepared to be annoyed by C.J. Spiller and Charcandrick West eating into the workload.
