Chiefs grades: Instant classic on Sunday night

Special Teams: A+

This has been fairly consistent for several weeks now. The Chiefs special teams are something of legend really.  The Broncos had no kick returns and their punt returns finished at an average of 2 yards. The only turnover in the game came from a muffed return by the Broncos that was leaped upon by long snapper James Winchester. Winchester has shown great heart and spirit after the untimely death of his father a week and half ago. The Chiefs are happy to have a guy who not only snaps with amazing consistency but makes plays down the field with just hustle and grit.

Cairo Santos proved he was clutch yet again with his ability to nail field goals that matter most. Twice in overtime he kicked field goals that were extremely high pressure kicks. Santos never appeared to be fazed by the moment and even though the final kick was more dramatic than it should have been, it still won the game.

Tyreek Hill has been the steal of the draft so far this year and you can’t blame the rest of the NFL for not taking him. The dude plead guilty to domestic violence charges against his pregnant girlfriend. That is enough to drive anyone else away but Reid has a way with “troubled” players. I will never excuse what Hill did but the fact that he owned up to it and has kept his life in order since may prove that he has changed.

Great play covers up a multitude of sins but Hill has shown where his focus lies. Anyone who can come in as a rookie and positively impact an offense as complicated as Reid’s deserves a lot of credit.
