Agreed. That drive was far from easy - on the road, against a playoff team, noisy stadium, clock running down, etc... Thiggy even converted a 4th down.
I think Thiggy will only improve when the Chiefs get the running game adjusted to the spread system Chan is running. Personally, I'd like to see some more of the sprint outs and bootlegs back in the playbook to give the spread a better chance. Thigpen is delivering the ball quickly and accurately - and at times looks like Brady back there.
