Coffee with the Chiefs – Super Bowl I still hurts

Good morning, Addicts! The Kansas City Chiefs are not playing on this Sunday, giving us one more day of anticipation/fear/self-loathing/another horrific adjective.

De’Anthony Thomas is looking to get back on track on MNF – Adam Teicher of ESPN

Kansas City is not taking hard-line approach to turnovers – Adam Teicher of ESPN

"The Kansas City Chiefs last week killed their opportunity to beat the Denver Broncos for the first time since 2011 by committing five turnovers. One gave the Broncos the ball at their 9, another at the Chiefs’ 15 and Denver scored the winning touchdown with 27 seconds left on a fumble return."
