The quest for a second weapon at wide receiver was advanced in the Chiefs’ second preseason game. Chris Conley was that sharp.
Conley, the second-year pro from Georgia, hauled in three passes for a team-best 66 yards, including a 37-yarder over the top from quarterback Alex Smith on the second touchdown drive in the 21-20 loss to the Rams on Saturday in Los Angeles.
The play may have been the game’s top offensive moment for the Chiefs. They faced third and 2 from their 33. Time for the standard smash mouth or at least a short, safe route from to a running back or tight end.
