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's just a more physical runner than the rest of the group. Darrell is big, but not as explosive as Thompson. Thompson is the only back I think I've seen this year that an break a tackle or not go down on initial contact. [Reply]
#Chiefs rookie RB Darwin Thompson played the Raiders with a heavy heart, learning his high school football coach Allan Trimble passed away Sunday morning from ALS.
“He taught me how to win," Thompson said after the biggest game of his young NFL career.https://t.co/SHGThHpHGf
I did find it very noticeable how supportive the entire offense was after Darwin scored. I know it was his first ever but it still struck me. They were all in one tight group after the TD. Maybe it was organic and just about his first TD, but perhaps losing his coach was a main part of it. [Reply]

Dangit!
