KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The defense was able to prevent a touchdown during the two-minute drill in Kansas City Chiefs practice on Tuesday, in part because cornerback Steven Nelson covered wide receiver Jeremy Maclin well and prevented a completion in the end zone on a second-down play from inside the 5.
The play is just one of many from offseason practice, but this one helped illustrate what the Chiefs were thinking when they declined to add a cornerback who figures to play much, if at all, this season. That thought? The Chiefs are better off at cornerback than some people think.
