Chiefs 21, Dolphins 14
Q. Trent, take us through the play.
TRENT McDUFFIE: Man, we were man-to-man. Honestly it's pretty easy seeing that screen play develop. Lucky enough the play happened, made a play on it. Luckily there were guys on the back end.
Q. (No microphone.)
CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE: Yeah, once I got it. I felt Tyreek on my ankle, I was about to get tackled. I was like, no, we got to do something else. I kind of looked back and I seen my boy BC. I trusted him. You got to have trust to do some stuff like that. But I trusted him I pitched it back in, he did the rest.
Q. Are they okay with that kind of thing as long as it works?
CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE: We got a touchdown out of it. It better be good.
Q. Trent, when you made the hit, did you feel the ball come out right away? With that, the whole energy you felt today with the crowd, how did it feel?
TRENT McDUFFIE: Yeah, definitely had a focus on the ball any time I make a tackle or anything like that. When I made the hit, definitely tried my best to strip it out. Luckily I was able to.
This Frankfurt crowd was great. Kind of like a Playoff atmosphere. I thought the new thing was everybody whistling. Thought that was cool. Not used to all the whistles out here. The energy was infectious and we had a great time out there.
Q. (No microphone.)
BRYAN COOK: That's a fast ball. I ran track in high school a little bit. Try to bring that out. Trust my guys, they gave me the ball, gave it my best shot.
Q. (Question about last touchdown.)
BRYAN COOK: Howard, 2018, pick-six.
Q. (No microphone.)
BRYAN COOK: Obviously pretty good. We had some doubts at first going into Buffalo, even was pretty much sticky with the footing. It wasn't that bad. Honestly last year we played Arizona, Super Bowl. We had some difficulties with that.
Like say, from my experience, that's a nice experience. From that point on, I feel like the turf is pretty good.
Q. Did they do anything different than what you were preparing for this week?
TRENT McDUFFIE: No, I mean, we went back and watched the film. Kind of been giving us the same things we've been seeing. The guys had a lot of communication on what we were planning on doing. We did the game plan really well, executed at a high level. I think that's why we were able to limit him to how many yards he had today.
Q. (Question about the atmosphere. )
CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE: Yeah, I played here last year, I played in Munich last year. Kind of like the same thing. Whole Germany is crazy. Atmosphere is crazy.
I told them my experience last year was really cool. I mean, came up with a win, so that made it better. The atmosphere was crazy. Like you said, it felt like a Playoff game. They was electric the whole game, first quarter to the end of the game.
Definitely appreciate the fans. They definitely showed out.
Q. The Justin Watson touchdown got called back. They came to you on the next play with the scheme pass. Do you sense the coaches' confidence is growing in you in big situations?
RASHEE RICE: Yeah, I feel like their confidence is growing. It doesn't happen overnight. It's not only for the coaches, it's up to me in practice for all players, even on the defensive side, just to have confidence in me having the ball in my hands. I know when the ball is in my hands, I need to get north and south and make the play.
Q. The other catch you had there, is that the intended route? Take me through that play.
RASHEE RICE: That's not necessarily the intended route. I have options to sit it down, go inside or go outside. I kind of took a wide step to basically let the defense declare so I could know if it was man or zone defense. When I realized it was man defense, I just kind of raced to the sideline knowing that Pat will get the ball to me.
Q. What do you think are chances you'll meet again in the AFC championship game?
CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE: I mean, we're ready for any opponent. We know they're a good team. Like this game we battled for the first seed in the AFC. We know they're a good team. Might see them before the AFC championship, or in the AFC championship.
Any way it goes, we'll be ready for them again. We know they'll be coming even harder coming off this loss. We're ready for whoever.
