Re: Khalen Saunders

The Chiefs ran a play Sunday called “the Leatherneck” where Khalen Saunders lined up as a running back and ran toward the end zone for a pass. Unfortunately, Mahomes was under pressure and had to throw it away.

Re: Head Coaching Search

I was one of those thinking that Coach Hendrickson was quite young for the head coach position. I didn’t realize that John Madden was just 32 when he was hired as head coach of the Raiders.
