Breaking News: Clark Hunt Updates Chiefs’ Stadium Situation, Josh Simmons and More…see more

Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt provided a midseason update on the team’s stadium situation, the progress of the team on the field and more prior to Monday’s game.

I think, like every Chiefs fan, I was very disappointed. It’s not the start that we wanted to get off to. We’ve had a lot of years with Andy as the head coach where we start and run off a streak of games that we win. That was not the case this year.

I knew Andy and his staff would keep slugging away at it. One thing that’s true about an NFL season is that it’s really a marathon. And that was what we reflected on, a long ways to go and a lot of opportunity to improve. And it’s been gratifying to see that over the last few weeks.”

“I think it’s a combination of a couple of things. One, we’ve gotten a little bit healthier, gotten some players back on the field. I think some of the young players have matured quickly and are playing important roles at this point.

And then as I mentioned earlier, Andy and his staff do a great job of teaching throughout the year and I think you’re seeing the benefit of that.”
