You saw it a few games ago where\u00a0Pat (Mahomes)\u00a0had to throw down the middle [and] he made a great catch. The more of those types of throws that we have, the trust level goes up. Then, I think also, him communicating to us what he does well \u2014 he probably feels more comfortable doing that the longer he\u2019s here and us explaining to him how we do things as well within the scheme, and then you just kind of work those two together.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_4_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-4 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_4\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>DeAndre Hopkins Has Made Quick Impact in KC<\/h2>\n<p>In three games with the Chiefs, Hopkins has recorded 14 receptions on 17 targets for 171 yards and two touchdowns. He\u2019s averaging seven targets and six catches over the last two games, which is impressive when considering that he joined Kansas City less than a month ago.<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs head coach Andy Reid explained why he thinks Hopkins was able to make an impact so quickly within Kansas City\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_5_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-5 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_5\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s always been a great player, and this offense gives him opportunities \u2014 his style of player and the quarterback trust him,\u201d Reid said during his press conference on\u00a0November 13. \u201cWhat he is, is what you saw on Sunday with the one catch on the crossing route. [He\u2019s] dirty tough, lands on the football, was able to get up \u2013 shows no sign of weakness on that and wants to get back in and go and that\u2019s been him. Tough catch, contested ball, lands on it, hard and gets back in and plays and wants more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next time Hopkins will continue to build on-field chemistry with Mahomes is in Week 11 when the Chiefs face the\u00a0Buffalo Bills. That game will be played on Sunday, November 17 at 3:25 p.m. Central Time and will be available to watch on CBS.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_6_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-6 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_6\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-content entry-content\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"l-article__author-bio\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyKansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.
