The Kansas City Chiefs’ locker room celebration wasn’t particularly rousing after their narrow victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 12.
Local media traveled with the Chiefs to cover the game, and they got some interviews with players after the win that revealed the muted discontent about Kansas City’s three-point victory over the lowly Panthers.
The overall message from Chiefs players was that winning is always ideal, but that the team has multiple areas to improve in the coming weeks, and everyone feels that they need to play better.
Reporter Harold R. Kuntz of WDAF FOX 4 shared this footage of multiple player interviews from the Bank of America Stadium locker room on his Twitter account.
Listen to what they had to say after the game:

"We just keep finding ways to win and that's bringing us together."
"It was a sloppy win, but a win is a win in this game."

While Kansas City remains the dominant franchise in the AFC as the regular season approaches its final weeks, now is not the moment for the Chiefs to rest on their laurels and cheer for their wins.
Hopefully, the focused mood in the locker room Sunday night translates into a fiery performance when Kansas City takes on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13 on Black Friday.
