Nine games into the season, the calendar shows November and the Chiefs (8-1) continue to look like one of the best teams in the NFL. They’ve kept it rolling despite injuries that have kept some key players off the field for extended periods of time, but they’ve also had key players playing through injuries in order to help continue the momentum they established in September.
Unprompted, Chiefs coach Andy Reid made mention of wide receiver Tyreek Hill and inside linebacker Anthony Hitchens playing through injury issues in his post-game remarks. During the game, wide receiver Sammy Watkins came out with a foot injury, though he did return to the field after being evaluated by the training staff on the sideline.
