Broncos
- Broncos LB Justin Strnad was fined $7,250 for Unnecessary Roughness (hip-drop tackle), and RB Javonte Williams was fined $45,020 for Unnecessary Roughness (use of the helmet).
Chiefs
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes said it’s easy to explain why TE Travis Kelce had a big outing in the team’s win over the Texans, catching seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown.
“Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games. . . . This is Playoff Trav,” Mahomes said. “He’s a leader, man. This is what he lives for, is playing in these moments, having the chance to make big-time plays. He goes out there and does that, and it seems like he does it in every single playoff game.”
Chiefs
- Joel Corry of CBS Sports expects Chiefs G Trey Smith to “reset” the market as his position and top Eagles G Landon Dickerson‘s $21 million annual salary.
- Corry also thinks impending free agent S Justin Reid could be close to resetting the safety market.
- Corry could see LB Nick Bolton getting a similar contract to Steelers LB Patrick Queen‘s three-year, $41 million deal.
