“He ran good routes or Pat [Mahomes] was scrambling and found him." Chiefs HC Andy Reid praises WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling

683 days ago

The Kansas City Chiefs will be aiming to defend their Superbowl title after another monster performance from the star laden team.

The Chiefs charged to 31-17 win over the Chargers, to go 6-1.

Kansas had their regular duo of Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes firing but it was the performance of receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling that got Chiefs" head coach Andy Reid excited.

"I thought we had good stuff in him that that popped," said Reid in the after-match transcript.

"We normally have a handful of plays in there that have his name on them but sometimes the coverage is different, a few things go into that.

“He had opportunities [Sunday], where he ran good routes or Pat [Mahomes] was scrambling and found him."

The veteran WR has hit 200 yards off ten catches this season, including a touchdown.

Valdes-Scantling was picked 174th in the 2018 draft by the Green Bay Packers, before moving to Kansas last year.

The Chiefs and the Eagles are the only teams that are 6-1 this season.

The Chiefs travel to the Broncos for their week 8 encounter and will start as clear favorites.
