There are no days off for cornerbacks in the modern NFL: a week after the Kansas City Chiefs executed in slowing the Philadelphia Eagles’ duo of wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, the unit will get the pleasure of facing the Las Vegas Raiders’ wide receiver and three-time All-Pro Davante Adams.
It’s the latest challenge for Chiefs’ cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, who has been used more directly against No. 1 receivers this season. He limited the Eagles’ Brown to only 8 yards on 1 reception during the Week 11 loss while also intercepting a pass headed his direction.
