Third-string tight end Peyton Hendeshot didn’t record a significant injury and aside from his calf cramps, no player required significant attention.
Things didn’t go according to plan of course, though Kansas City still improved to 10-1 despite a closer contest than most expected. Patrick Mahomes calmly led the offense down the field for Harrison Butker’s repacement to step up and nail a game-winning field goal in the final moments, representing the “next man up” mentailty that’s definite this era of Chiefs football.
Travis Kelce and Noah Gray, who had two TD catches for the second straight week, are the primary options at tight end. Though Hendershot remains an important depth piece given other ailments at the position.
Things worked out just fine for the Chiefs, who still have control of the AFC despite narrowly escaping with a win. Hendershot should be good to go in Week 13 against the Raiders despite the calf cramps, providing a large, important general boost to the offense.
