KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Defensive end Melvin Ingram announced his presence on his first play with the Kansas City Chiefs, driving a blocker backward into Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love and forcing an incomplete pass.
Ingram had one sack in nine games during the regular season and two more in the playoffs, but the Chiefs' fortunes -- as a team and defensively -- changed after his midseason arrival in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had one of the biggest plays of the Chiefs' season during Week 18 in Denver, when he forced a fourth-quarter fumble that was returned by teammate Nick Bolton for the winning touchdown against the Broncos.
