Tyreek Hill was asked what goes through his head

when a play breaks down and Patrick Mahomes is forced to improvise Golden Tate Jerseys 2019 , and the Chiefs' wide receiver basically body-shamed his starting quarterback."When you see his slow behind roll out," Hill began, "or whatever he's doing, in my mind I go to, 'Alert! Alert! Alert! And I just have to get back to him and be around the ball."Now, there are a couple of things worth mentioning here: First, Hill's world-class speed makes just about everybody look slow, even a quarterback with better-than-average speed. And second, Hill calling his QB slow is just part of the innocent banter that goes on daily in the Kansas City locker room.These aren't the Chiefs of yesteryear, when veterans such as Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali and Alex Smith ruled the locker room.These bunch of Chiefs talk as much good-natured trash to each other as they do opposing teams, and the byproduct is a locker room that has grown remarkably close, and has been able to keep things light during a 4-0 start in which the spotlight has been bright.Need another example? Take Mahomes' unique voice.He's been chided about what coach Andy Reid called its "froggish" quality ever since Mahomes was in middle school. Mahomes long ago accepted it, and in truth he appreciates a good joke or imitation.Word in the locker room is Reid does it best, though he was unwilling to indulge during his weekly news conference.Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson also has a spot-on imitation, and tight end Travis Kelce — one of the longtime jokesters in the Chiefs locker room — is also quite good."I've heard the jokes since I was like, in the seventh grade," Mahomes said, "but it's something I've embraced. Kelce and Tyreek throw some shots at me, but I throw some shots right back."It's me. It's who I am. I'm never going to be insecure about it. Just embrace it and who I am."All these hijinks have helped the Chiefs deal with the pressure that comes with a perfect start, one that has the NFL buzzing. Three of their wins have come on the road, including tough venues in Pittsburgh and Denver, and they appear to be the team to beat in the AFC West.Mahomes has thrown 14 TD passes without an interception, becoming not only the toast of Kansas City but a fantasy football darling everywhere.Kelce, Hill and newcomer Sammy Watkins have helped him flourish in an offense that seems predicated on fun, first and foremost, and running back Kareem Hunt is coming off his first 100-yard game, lest anybody think they can't go old-school.The result has been a crush of attention unlike anything the Chiefs have seen in recent years.Mahomes gets several hundred interview requests each week, and Kelce and Hill are bombarded when they go out in public. So many reporters and TV crews crammed in the club's tiny media room Wednesday that one openly pondered whether it was a violation of the fire code.You wouldn't know it from the way the Chiefs go about their business, though. Mahomes has a habit of locking himself in the film room, and nobody is trying to escape early when Friday rolls around."When you start to get in front of yourself in this thing, it's a humbling business," Reid cautioned this week. "You're playing the best in the world. You have to be sharp. There's not a lot of secrets anymore, so you really have to hone in and make sure you're on the top of your game, and it's not just me. It's everybody here, coaches and players alike."Keeping things light helps to accomplish just that.The latest subject of discussion had to do with whether Mahomes, a former prep basketball star, has enough ups to dunk. He insists there is video evidence showing him dunking during a high school game, and a grainy video surfaced on the internet that purportedly shows him poster-izing a defender."Pat cannot dunk, man," Hill insisted. "I had him in a celeb game this offseason. He tried to dunk a couple of times in warmups and clearly failed. That video is not Pat. That's some other kid."Let the trash-talk roll on.Notes: Safety Eric Berry (heel) remained the only Chiefs player out of practice Thursday. ... Special teams coach Dave Toub said the Chiefs are preparing for rain that is expected Sunday, when Kansas City plays Jacksonville. The forecast is calling for a 100 percent chance. "We had some chances to practice in rain in training camp," Toub said. "We'll do our wet-ball drills and we'll be ready."Post-game quotebook: What the Giants were saying after Sunday’s loss to Jacksonville What were the New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars saying after Sunday’s 20-15 loss by the Giants in the season-opening game for both teams? Let’s find out.Saquon Barkley on his touchdown ...“It was amazing; it was a great feeling, but it was a feeling that came and went. One touchdown is not going to win the game White Jabrill Peppers Jerseys , and that touchdown didn’t win the game this week, but to get in there, it was a dream come true to find the end zone. I did keep the ball, but it was just like ‘Move on, next play’, and find a way to get in there again.”Barkley on the fourth-down run where he came up short ...“Fourth-and-one is always tough to get, especially when you have a defense like that. Fourth-and-one mentality is you have to get it no matter what by any-means-necessary. I jumped and I thought I had it, I thought I did enough to keep the sticks moving, but I didn’t and that is something where there’s no excuses that I’m a young player, and I have to realize how important that is.”Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone on Barkley ...“We knew he was a really good player coming in. It’s one of those games where you feel like you’re doing a good job, you’ve got a lot of population to the football, you got a lot of people trying to bring him down. Then all of a sudden, bam! He breaks that, whatever it was, 68-yard run ... he’s a heck of a player.”Jacksonville’s Calais Campbell on Barkley ...“I knew right away. The first run and the first couple of times I tackled him, I said, “this kid has something.” Obviously, you see it on tape, but we didn’t get to watch a lot of tape on him. It’s his college tape. Coming into the NFL against a team like ours, and making some of the plays he made, that kid’s going to be special. I traded jerseys with him after the game because I was like, “Okay, if he can stay healthy, he might one day be a Hall of Famer. So now, I’ll get his jersey when he’s young.”Landon Collins on the play of the defense ...“... we were playing a good offense and their run game is very hard to protect and we were playing good against it so we can definitely build on top of that and just make sure we get the communication right and on the same page as always.Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsOdell Beckham Jr. on his matchup with Jalen Ramsey ...“He’s like a brother to me, we kicked it over the offseason, we talked back and forth. He’s a competitor, I’m a competitor, I love the way he plays, I love everything about his game. It was fun to go out there and compete against, if not the, one of the best in the league, hands down.”Ramsey on facing Beckham ...“Like I said on Thursday when I was talking to the media, that’s not what it was about. I was shocked when you make it just about me and Odell. It was 11 vs. 11. I knew I would be on him a fair amount, but I wasn’t on him 100% of the time and I knew it was going to take all 11 guys on the defense to get the job done so that’s what we did out here and we got a good win.Janoris Jenkins on building off the loss ...“I think we all can build off of it—defense, offense and special teams. Once we get in the film room, we’ll see what critiques we have to make and we’re just going to come out and keep hustling every day.”Pat Shurmur on the struggles of the offensive line ...“We battled a really good defense. You’re looking at a top-10 defense and we battled them and I thought they fought throughout the game. We can probably all point to individual bad plays by everyone, me included, so I feel like they battled and we’ve just got to go back and correct the mistakes that maybe showed up and get ready to play Dallas.”Shurmur on Beckham’s return ...“I thought he competed throughout, put him in a lot of different situations and I think it’s a good idea to throw him the ball. We threw to him a lot and he made a lot of plays.”Jacksonville quarterback Blake Bortles asked if he thought he was going to score on his 41-yard run ...“No, not once. This isn’t high school. There was no way. I got 30 yards, then the hamstrings locked up and it was time to get out of bounds.”
