Here are some other grades I handed out this week.

. . . OFFENSIVE LINE. A-

Mitchell Schwartz has been a godsend for this team. He kept Von Miller in check all night long, not allowing him to sniff Alex Smith. The line as a whole only gave up one sack on Smith and played as well as they had all season. Eric Fisher is struggling though and that’s troubling.

TRAVIS KELCE. A. . .

Seven catches, 133 yards, and a touchdown. Need I say more?

RED ZONE PLAY CALLING. F. . .

With a chance to go up 21-0, Andy Reid thought it’d be a good idea to have Tyreek Hill throw a pass. Hill threw an interception and the Broncos had the football.

. . HARRISON BUTKER. A.

How mad are the Panthers right now that the Chiefs swiped Harrison Butker from their practice squad? Butker has been the MVP for this team (no that’s not a joke), connecting on 18 straight field goal attempts. He’s been incredible.
