- In 49 pass-blocking snaps, Pro Football Focus gave him a 73.1 grade with four pressures allowed, and officials flagged him three times.
- Reid said the assignment against Denver’s top-tier edge rush was significant and that Simmons must clean up penalties despite a respectable showing.
- Kansas City fell 22-19 to drop to 5-5, heightening focus on offensive-line play as the Chiefs prepare to host the Colts.
