facebooktwitterreddit

Good morning, Addicts! This Friday is awesome for a few reasons. One, it’s a Friday. Two, it’s a Red Friday. And three, it’s a gameday Friday, which you can only say in the preseason. Tonight, the Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on the Tennessee Titans at Arrowhead Stadium. The starters will play the majority of three quarters before giving the depth players one more shot to prove themselves. Buckle up, this should be interesting.

Hali will also play some, unlike last week."
