Snap count visualization for the Chiefs from the inimitable @reinhardNFL. Incredibly informative. Players are listed as they entered the game, and almost exactly as how I would have ordered the depth charts.

Great news for the Chiefs on the injury front. CB Kristian Fulton (knee) is off the PUP list. LB Drue Tranquill (back) is also practicing.
It’s a light work out so they will take it slow today.

1-11! It took every bit of strength, energy and game planning in the book for me to pull it off, but I beat Harrison Butker to the practice field this morning. I will now drink from the keg of victory. #MattVsChiefs

Arrived at 8:15 Saturday morning and I knew I didn’t have a chance. Greeted at the media tent with, “You didn’t beat Harrison today.” The man is a machine. He’s 10-0. Even the great Vitaliy Gurman didn’t put up these kind of numbers.

I thought for a brief second I had him today. Just an empty football field under hazy sunshine and a ridiculous 63 degrees. Then emerging from the training tent he was there. How in the world am I going to beat this mother butt kicker? Well done, Harrison, well done indeed.

An otherwise empty football field other than Harrison Butker. He has made a mockery of #MattVsChiefs for first arrival. I fall to 0-8. And I’m certain Butker made this field goal too. Look at the way he walked away to the next kick. He knew it was good.

Technically I arrived in St. Joe Tuesday for work at 7:15 a.m. but I wasn’t at the practice field. The specialists led by Harrison Butker are again the first group on the field today. If I have to be here at 7:30 to beat Butker, I’m going to do it. #MattVsChiefs
