Chiefs 2014 O’Ch-Emmy Award Winners

Outstanding Performance in a Single Game
The Award goes to Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce, vs. the Panthers, had four catches for 63 yards and a TD. Kelce has been one of the most consistent contributors this offseason and it will intriguing, to say the least, to see how Andy Reid uses Kelce once the Titans come to town and the regular season ensues.
Runner-up: Dwayne Bowe hears about his suspension, then turns around and has his best game, barring his playoff game performance, in years. Five catches for 62 yards was excellent for playing about half of the game against the Panthers.

Outstanding Draft Day Performance
The Award goes to the Chiefs Scouting Team
The scouting recommend that the Chiefs select OG Zach Fulton who appears to be the Kansas City Chiefs’ starting right guard in 2014. Fulton was selected in the sixth round with the 193rd pick, then flew to K.C. and took over the RG position almost immediately, resulting in the Chiefs trading away his main competition in Rishaw Johnson a week ago.

Above is the first play of the preseason: Jamaal Charles running left and gaining 8 yards.
Outstanding Performance in a Leading Role
The Award goes to Jamaal Charles
There is simply no one else who can possibly win this award except JC. As long as JC is on this roster, he will be their leading man. Even though JC hasn’t been on the field much this preseason, he is very obviously the most talented player the Chiefs have had since Derrick Thomas donned the red and gold.
Runner-up: no one even deserves an honorable mention here, although Travis Kelce has had a very good preseason.

Outstanding Overall Team Performance
The Award goes to the Chiefs Special Teams
The special teams looks like they will continue to put the offense in favorable position this season and even score from time to time. That’s more than I can say for the Chiefs first-team offensive performance this preseason. Not to be forgotten is Dustin Colquitt who looks ever more like the Pro Bowl entity that he is.
Runner-up: Neither the offense nor the defense deserves to be mentioned here so let’s pretend I didn’t.
