The Kansas City Chiefs have an unusual schedule, playing three games in a short time frame. Veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has played in many challenging seasons but has never experienced a schedule like this, as he told reporters during Thursday’s press conference.
“I’ve never played this many games in a short amount of time; I think the league should definitely do something about that,” said Hopkins. “As they preach player safety, I don’t feel this is the best situation for any team. I think the league should review that after the season, just to see how they can help player safety in the future.”
The Chiefs are playing three games in ten days to accommodate their Christmas Day matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers next Wednesday. If Kansas City can win the next two games, they will clinch the top overall seed regardless of what the Buffalo Bills do the rest of the season.
Hopkins will be getting some help in the wide receiver room with the expected debut of Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, who hasn’t played this season due to injury.
