1. Montrell Washington - This was a great pickup from the Broncos, originally a 6th round pick in the 2022 draft. I felt much more comfortable with him back taking PR/KR. The second quarter PR where he got hit by his own team mate and then took what seemed like 5 more hits before going down was nerve wracking but he managed to handle it well. He seems to have the ability to get more than just a couple positive yards on punts. We may have very well seen the last of Richie James.

2. Pop Pacheco - was gouging the defense. He is really starting to become the complete back with catching out of the backfield and finding the gaps to hit. Side note CEH is starting to run the ball decently, especially in garbage time, and is still a nice threat to catch out of the backfield.

3. McKinnon - is picking back up where he left off last year with being that red zone relief valve. Good to see he is still has the knack to find the end zone, I feel like he will be a incredibly valuable target for Patrick again this year, if not the teams second leading receiver behind Kelce.

4. Chiefs D - is continuing to get better and better. Turnovers, McDuffie stripping the ball, Gay recovering and Reid tipping the ball for Edwards to pick were both things of beauty. The Chiefs have the youngest D in the league average of 24 years old. That is astonishing. Chris Jones with some big sacks, glad he is back, he is going to be the motor that really powers this defense to great things. Mike Danna's name was called quite a bit today. Glad to see he is starting to be the force we need him to be with a sack and QB hit.

5. Pushing the ball up the field with under a minute in the first half up 31-0. I'm not sure I agree with this. Especially needlessly putting Patrick in harms way. I understand stepping on throats, but Chicago appeared all but dead at that point in the game. Even if they take the opening kickoff and get 7 they are still 4 scores down.

6. Rice - Patrick seems to be getting more comfortable with him hitting him a couple times over the middle and getting just 1 yard shy of a TD each time.

7. The Jawaan Taylor penalties are maddening. I noticed FOX didn't have the "down the line" camera view available for his penalties. They are really going to try and make an example of him while not calling anyone else for it. It's funny how it didn't pop up until the 2nd quarter almost like someone sent a message to the Ref crew to "remember" this penalty. Fortunately for this game it doesn't matter but if it continues it's going to bite us eventually. PTW started the second half while Taylor walked the sideline and was in at RT until Smith went down at LT. The commentators mentioned that Taylor isn't being coached to line up like that so it's a self adjustment he will need to make.

8. Butker - after struggles last year he seems to have figured it out and I feel much more comfortable seeing those XP's and FG's splitting the uprights instead of angling one way or the other. The 41 yard field goal was just 100% money split the uprights. Speaking of uprights the nailing of the goal post on the kickoff was one of the coolest things - never seen that before, I have seen the crossbar get hit but it takes talent to hit the upright on a kickoff.

9. PTW - got smoked by the DE on the Gabbert INT. He seems to play the RT position very well but he looked foolish on the left side when Smith went out. Hard to tell if the INT was on Gabbert bad read or PTW getting smoked.

10. The Offensive line in front of Patrick, kept him clean today. No sacks.

11. Andy Reid passes Tom Landry to go to 4th all time in wins with todays victory.
