KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The visitors’ locker room at Arrowhead Stadium is small and cramped, with short ceilings and drab white walls adorned by old, wooden lockers. It has a bandbox feel that prompts visiting players to flee toward the team bus as soon as possible.
Yet, in the aftermath of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 30-14 victory over Jacksonville on Sunday, several Jaguars defenders lingered on the defensive side of the room – which is separated from the offense by a wall of lockers – long after most of the media had left, talking openly about the game as they dressed.
