The setup for it is convenient for organizations to be able to do this. So year in and year out, New Orleans always has big events and it can handle the foot traffic for it. But never close enough to play in the Dome. I mean these guys are lining the street both ways like 78 lanes down blocking off all the intersecting traffic and they get us in pretty quickly. The response has been awesome, but you hate to see things like that continue to happen and hopefully we can just stop having these incidents.
Two years ago, safety Bryan Cook remembers having an equal amount of nervous energy and eager excitement before his first postseason game with the Chiefs.
That builds confidence. I blinked and we were in the Super Bowl. It was a surreal moment, that it happened so fast. Just reminiscing Thursday made Cook laugh. Inside the mind of Chiefs star Travis Kelce: 'He's always in his own zone'. One reason the Chiefs have arrived in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX is that the players from the draft class have all improved from role players they were as rookies. Cook and the rest of his teammates from the draft class would also create NFL history.
They will be the first group of players to start their career with 10 consecutive postseason victories and three Super Bowl rings. Or maybe Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy got confused Thursday. Worthy jumped up from his table and worked his way through the media throng in front of fellow wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Kareem Hunt never thought he'd get a second chance with the Chiefs.
He's making the most of it. One thing I like about him? He runs down the field really fast, opens up the middle of the field.
