With Damien Williams (knee) and LeSean McCoy (ankle) banged up, do you guys think this week could be Thompson's opportunity to go off? I think it'd be awesome to see the kid come in and have a big game. [Reply]

He showed a lot of speed getting to that block and he also made a solo tackle on a KO return that was a solid play.
He'll be like Albert Wilson and DeMarcus Robinson. A guy that works hard to get in good shape, makes plays on special teams that get them big praise in the special teams meeting. Develops into a dependable player at their primary position.
And just like Albert Wilson and Demarcus Robinson, a lot of the chiefs planet GMs that never played even high school football, will continue to badmouth the dude while everybody in the Chiefs building knows they are a big contributor. [Reply]
It's definitely NOT Darwin Thompson time. But the guy came up big when he needed to. And I never thought he would be our short yardage option in that situation.

Props to him though. He did his job.
Yes that was a very very gutsy call going up the middle with DT when hadn't done crap all day in the run game especially up the middle. WHEW !!! [Reply]
