Chiefs’ health-conscious Ford credits comeback to coconuts (and other healthy habits)

A couple hours before the Chiefs headed to CenturyLink Field, Justin Houston walked down the hallway of the team’s Seattle hotel in search of a blender to fix a pregame shake.

He stopped when he came to Dee Ford’s room and knocked.

When Ford opened the door and let him in, Houston found what he was looking for. And a whole lot more.

Yes, there there was a blender. There were also coconuts, leafy greens and berries.

And a knife.

“I didn’t know he had all that other stuff in there,” Houston said with a chuckle.
