THE Kansas City Chiefs enter their Week 17 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers with the wind at their backs and need just one more win to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.
However, the Chiefs’ inability to keep quarterback Patrick Mahomes safe in the pocket weighs heavily on Kansas City’s aspirations of completing a three-peat Super Bowl.
However, during comments to the media Sunday, offensive coordinator Matt Nagy made it clear that one player, second-year left tackle Wanya Morris, was making progress toward reclaiming his starting role.
“He (Wanya Morris) did a good job with that,” Nagy said of Morris’ development. “It’s important that these guys – as they go through the ebbs and flows of the season and game by game (that) they stay locked in (and) they stay focused. I think the most important thing, more than anything, is “It’s them understanding that we still have their back and we have to coach them while still being tough on them, but also having that ‘one game’ mentality and you saw that yesterday.
“Wanya has been doing this all this time and he came in and played well. He just needs to continue to grow and he will – he’s young and I think we all need to keep that in perspective. I like where he is is right now and we’ve just got to continue to stay true to what he does well and continue to teach him what he doesn’t do well, and we can continue to work towards that.
Stay tuned to see if Morris returns to the Chiefs’ starting lineup when Kansas City faces the Steelers on Christmas Day.
