Coffee with the Chiefs – Offensive line growing as unit

Good morning, Addicts! It’s a beautiful Monday and the start of June. For me, I always see the first day of June as the true beginning of summer, but maybe that’s because I’m a different kind of cat.

"From Weeks 3 to 9, when the Chiefs were running it “full time”, the team was 5-1. Prior to, and after that, the Chiefs were 4-6. Let’s officially call this “The Demetrius Harris Effect”. With Demetrius Harris on the field, this is a Super Bowl winning team. Without him, the Chiefs are average."

Chiefs building winner in different ways – Mike Norris of KC Kingdom
