Clark is actively making history in the postseason
Seahawks fans, you may want to pour yourself something stiff before reading this. Former Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark has made quite the name for himself in Kansas City, quite literally to a historic degree.
Clark’s impact on the Chiefs defense during the regular season has been minimal at best. His best season was only eight sacks and it was back in 2019. However, where Clark is actively making history is in the postseason.
Currently, Clark has 13.5 career playoff sacks. That number is good for No. 3 all time when it comes to bringing quarterbacks down in the postseason. He trails only Willie McGinest and Bruce Smith… although, he has a chance to overtake Bruce Smith in the Super Bowl. Smith has 14.5 sacks, meaning Clark is only one behind him. Against the Jaguars and Bengals, Clark recorded 2.5 sacks this playoff run already.
Clark was traded to the Chiefs prior to the 2019 season for Kansas City’s 1st and 3rd round picks in the draft that year. Seattle’s pass rush has never quite been the same without Clark to wreak havoc. They used the first round pick to select LJ Collier, who has three career sacks.
The #Chiefs mic’d up Frank Clark and Travis Kelce for the AFC Championship Game against the #Bengals and it went just as you’d expect.
The Kansas City Chiefs made some wise decisions when choosing players to mic up for the AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Typically, we only get one player, but this time around they mic’d up a player on offense and a player on defense. They just so happened to choose the most animated player on offense in Travis Kelce and one of the biggest characters on defense in Frank Clark. These two also happen to have a penchant for going off in the playoffs, which is exactly what they did.
“For each other baby,” Kelce said. “This is for us. This one is for us.”
“Y’all know what time it is,” Clark said. “There ain’t no more hiding.”
Clark got the party started, sacking Joe Burrow on the opening drive.
“That’s what I’m talking about,” he yelled. ‘That’s what I’m talking about.”
After returning to the sideline, he let them know what was up.
“Give me my crown,” he shouted. “I’m the king!”
Travis Kelce got on the field with the offense next and the team marched down the field and scored. Kelce was the one who caught the touchdown pass and he followed it up by running around and screaming like a madman.
When he returned to the sideline, he also let them know.
“They’re going to get some more too,” he shouted.
Later there was an interesting interaction between Joe Burrow and Clark.
“You guys are comin’ today, Frank,” Burrow said.
“Yeah,” Clark said. “Keep goin’ bro.”
Clark even did his part to help get the offensive line fired up. He challenged them on the sideline, bringing rings into the discussion.
“I need y’all to press that button,” he said. “I need y’all to push that button. All that nice talking. Push the button. Real talk. Y’all want to win a go to the Super Bowl. Push the button now.”
On the biggest play of the game, we got to see Kelce’s response to Patrick Mahomes scrambling for a first down.
“You’re a *expletive* warrior,” Kelce said. “You good?”
Of course, Mahomes was plenty good.
We also got to hear the reaction from Chiefs TE coach Tom Melvin when the clock hit double zeroes.
“Let’s go play your brother in the Super Bowl,” Melvin said to Kelce. “How about that one? Holy smokes!”
#Chiefs DE Frank Clark revealed more information about his close relationship with HC Andy Reid. | from @EdEastonJr
The career of Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Frank Clark has had its share of highs and lows that tend to cloud the perception of his play.
A talented defensive lineman with multiple Pro Bowl selections has battled injuries and off-the-field issues during his professional tenure. Clark finished the regular season strong and consistently showed his dominance in postseason play.
Head coach Andy Reid has emerged as a mentor and guide for Clark throughout his tenure in Kansas City. The two were spotted sharing a wholesome moment on the sidelines after the AFC Championship Game win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Clark revealed details about their unique relationship on Thursday while speaking with reporters.
“I love him because of the man he is first, not the coach, (but) the man he is,” said Clark. “And I feel like if you know him from that standpoint, you will be able to attest to what I am saying. A lot of guys know him as a coach, and they only see the coach side of him. I (have) actually been fortunate enough to see the other side of him where I had a lot of conversations with him from that standpoint. Just helping me become a better father, helping me understand life a little bit more, and some of my tougher situations I (had) to endure over the last two years and just sticking by me. Understanding that guys do have some bad times, guys do (mess) up sometimes, but sometimes you got to have those guys there. You know, it’s the guys there for the guys that mess up, you know, are just important.
During the AFC Championship Game victory, Clark hit an impressive career milestone, passing Hall of Famer Reggie White and former Chiefs LB Terrell Suggs for the third-most sacks in postseason history. He’s set aside his off-the-field issues and struggles to take his game to a higher level in the postseason and he gives Reid a lot of credit for helping him get there.
Reid has been one of Clark’s biggest supporters throughout his struggles on the field and off of it. Clark even likens Reid to a father figure after having lost his father in a house fire the year before he was traded to Kansas City.
“For me, having (Head) Coach (Andy) Reid there was big because my father passed a few years ago – I lost my father in a house fire a few years ago – so you know the father figures are of lack at times,” said Clark. “Having a guy like that, I spend a lot of time with Coach. We spend 70% of our week, we at the building. We in here from eight in the morning to six at night sometimes, and camp is even longer, so I’ve spent a lot of time with Andy, and we have a great relationship. The things we talk about on the record and the things we talk about off the record, it helped shape our relationship and (brought) us so close, and I feel like I’m able to talk about him about anything and just winning that game was one of those things, we kind of pissed it off the second year together, you know we lost to Tampa Bay. Last year, Bengals came in and got rid of us, and just to be able to get back in my fourth year here is just dope.”
A player’s intangibles are often discussed whenever analysts break down their worth; the same could be said for coaches. Reid’s ability to support players outside the football field is a well-noted and often overlooked aspect of his coaching. It’s one of the things that makes him great and that his players have always appreciated most about him.
