Alex Smith's spotless play is a big reason why his Chiefs are back in the playoff hunt.
Many tagged Alex Smith as a just a "game manager" when he arrived from San Francisco.
That's no longer a term of disparagement in this roller coaster quarterbacking season. In fact, the Chiefs have leaned on Smith to manage games like no other NFL team can.
Smith's 228 pass attempts without an interception leads football. It was 50 throws higher than Tom Brady's mark before Week 10, too. Put simply: Smith isn't making any mistakes.
