How the Chiefs confused a Seahawks WR — then tricked him to run into the wrong guy

The Kansas City Chiefs’ defense came through with a pair of critical fourth-down stops in the second half of last week’s 24-10 home victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

In this video, Kansas City Star reporter Jesse Newell and Brett Taveau — author of the Chiefs book “Unpacking Greatness” and a longtime high school offensive coordinator — show how rookies like Bryan Cook and Trent McDuffie delivered on small details during those important plays in crunch time ... while also getting help on one snap from a veteran in Carlos Dunlap.
