Nobody in the Chiefs organization thought they’d reach halftime of the season with a 3-5 record.
But riding a two-game winning streak into Sunday’s game at Denver, they’re in the best possible frame of mind with a disappointing mark.
“They’ve worked hard, they’ve stayed focused,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “I think some of the young players have grown up a bit. And then some of the guys that were banged up a bit, either from last year or earlier in this season, have come back and look like they’re getting more into the swing of things.
