“Preparation is key,” Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones said. “We held their rusher for under a hundred yards. Cook’s been playing some of the best ball in the NFL. We were fortunate enough to get the win and execute on defense, and we’ve got to execute next week.”
“It was a chess match the whole time,” Weatherly added. “That just means that games like this, with opponents like the Chiefs, we have to take advantage of every possession and not try to put it on the back end.”
“All that (expletive) talking,” Chiefs defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah said when asked what motivated such a stout defensive performance against Cook.
