Here's the INT play. Watch 84 in blue, who was wide open on the play by the way. Runs by pretty much every player on the field to make the tackle.
He could have taken drink orders on the way and still caught the guy. I like he even went for the ball strip.

Diontae Johnson got his 1st TD reception last night, right after having one called back on offensive PI (seemed like a weak call). Had 3 catches for 46 yards, on 5 targets. Also 3 punt returns for just a few yards total ... also dropped a punt, but recovered it himself.

It appears Cody Thompson was THE receiver for the chiefs in the 2nd half, as live stats show he had 7 catches for 69 yards on 11 targets. No other Chiefs receiver had more than 4 targets or 2 catches. Here's one highlight that appeared on twitter:

The Steelers Chiefs game was supposed to be on NFL network, but because of the weather delay they had, they ended up showing the Titans and Pats here. (Steelers game is on replay at 1 PM Sunday). So, I got to see some more Woodside. He had a pretty terrible game this week going only 4-13, but in his defense he got hit or flushed on pretty much every drop back. So, probably 4-5 of the incompletions were throw-aways. He also had a couple throws that looked to be on-target in very tight coverage that the receiver just couldn't pull down. So, still remains to be seen how his is progressing.

Other Rockets, from game stats:
- Tuzar Skipper looked to have another good night with a sack, a fumble recovery and a couple tackles.
- Jon'Vea Johnson had 1 catch for 9 yards
- Brett Kern is still a major threat as a punter - 3/4 punts inside the 20 and a 46 yard average.
- Milligan with 3 tackles for the Colts
- Did not see Trevon Mathis' name in the stats.
Odeniyi, Flu, Mancz all still out with injuries.
Oh, and I forgot about Hunt who saw his 1st action for the Browns. Minimal work, with only 2 carries for 6 yards.

Made multiple guys miss after the catch, as well.

One of his best efforts is probably on Mike Hilton's highlight as it took his heck of a hit to shake the ball loose when Thompson rose above the seem between three defenders.

Storm Norton vs. Elijah Nkansah on Fox tonight. Both playing in the latter half of the 2nd quarter. Norton has looked good. Nkansah, not so much.

missing from above:
Hollman - likely makes the roster as a backup CB
Weiss - cut or maybe PS
Hester - on the bubble to make the 53
Kerin - ?
Ruble - likely cut
Also, I think Jayrone Elliott is still looking for a spot. Still wonder what happened in Miami that saw him cut the 1st day of camp.

Marcus Kemp, who was one of the receivers competing with Cody Thompson for a roster spot, reportedly tore both his ACL and MCL in the last game and is out for the season. Hate to see anyone get hurt like that, but it does improve Cody's chances.
Also, finally seeing reports that Hollman's injury was a stinger. That's good to hear, as it looked like it could have been a lot worse - helmet-to-helmet hit as he was making a run stop. Hopefully he won't be out too long.

Chiefs: Cody Thompson is in the Room

In other news, KC resigned a former WR who had been arrested earlier in the year. Yeesh.

Michael Roberts is having shoulder surgery this week. This may be why he did not pass his physicals. I am not sure if this means he will not be able to play at all this season.
