- ARTICLE: Chiefs Coach Andy Reid on CB Terrance Mitchell: "He's More Confident"
One of the top stories for the Kansas City Chiefs last season, particularly at the end of the year, was the play of cornerback Terrance Mitchell, who ranked among the top players in the league at that position over the final few weeks of the regular season.
From Week 13 to the end of the year, Mitchell had five passes defensed, which ranked fifth in the league, and opposing quarterbacks completed just 45.5 percent (15 of 33) of passes thrown in his direction, which ranked 10th.
The quarterback rating when testing Mitchell was just 58.8, which ranked just behind the Denver Broncos' standout duo of Chris Harris and Aqib Talib.
Simply put, he was good, like *really *good.

- The NFL's Kicker Fraternity is Real, and Cairo Santos is a Part of It
Before he booted the doink-seen-round-the-world to win last season's Sunday Night Football thriller in Denver, before he helped clinch the team's first AFC West title in six years, before he became the NFL's Brazilian ambassador, Cairo Santos was, well, he was just a 22-year-old rookie.
The year was 2014, and he had just beat the incumbent Ryan Succop for Kansas City's kicker job in a training camp battle he was so unsure of, he'd asked visiting Madden representatives whether or not tryout players made the game.
Lo and behold, Santos dethroned the fan favorite in Succop, and what came with that challenge were the eyes of Chiefs fans watching very carefully.
The preseason was one thing, but the regular season was a whole different animal.
"Now, you're playing in front of 90,000 people, primetime, and some guys get it quick," Santos said. "Some guys get real comfortable in that situation. I'm not going to lie, for me, it took a little adjustment. It was a big difference between preseason and regular season, even though we had 50,000 people here in preseason. The adrenaline. People were yelling the whole game, and you just see cameras everywhere, people all over the sidelines. It's kind of a shock."
