Chiefs C Creed Humphrey says Colts loss is motivating factor in Week 4 preparation

#Chiefs C Creed Humphrey says the team is ready to turn the page on Week 3, but they’re allowing it to provide a little extra motivation as they prepare for their next opponent.

The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off of a disappointing Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

While the team has turned the page to their Week 4 tilt with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they’re still allowing that Week 3 loss to fuel the work they’re doing this week. No one is happy with the Week 3 performance, from the coaching staff on down. That includes C Creed Humphrey, the anchor of the Chiefs’ offensive line, who says the loss is a motivating factor as the team has hit the practice field this week.

“Yeah, I think anytime that you lose a game like that you’re ready to get that taste out of your mouth,” Humphrey explained. “Everybody’s been – we’ve had a really good week of practice so far. Everybody’s been fired up and really focused and just ready to go out there and try to change that and get back to winning and things like that. So, everybody’s really motivated right now. Everybody’s executing well in practice and we’re practicing with intent which is very good right now.”

There isn’t much that the Chiefs can carry schematically from one game plan to the next. Humphrey feels the biggest thing the team can take from the past week is to just come out and execute better against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“Their schemes aren’t really too similar, but for us, it’s just about executing,” Humphrey said. “That’s what it is for us. We’re going to go out there and make sure we execute better this week.”

Better preparation and better execution should lead to better results, not just on the offensive line, but throughout the whole team as well.
