Creed Humphrey Calls for Sharper Execution as 5-5 Chiefs Seek Close-Game Fix

The Pro Bowl center frames precise execution as the fix for Kansas City’s one-possession woes.

Overview

  • Kansas City fell to 5-5 with a 22-19 loss to Denver and sits ninth in the AFC, with its long AFC West run reported as unlikely to continue.
  • Humphrey stresses execution in critical situations and week-to-week consistency as the path to turning results around.
  • All Chiefs losses have been by one score, with the team 0-5 in such games this season after going 11-0 in one-possession games last year.
  • Locker-room mood remains upbeat and confidence in Patrick Mahomes is strong, with Week 12 bringing a home test against the Indianapolis Colts.
  • Humphrey recently signed a four-year, $72 million extension that makes him the NFL’s highest-paid center and appears with the offensive line in a new Dairy Queen commercial.
