Arrowheadlines: Melvin Ingram is ‘playing angry’

‘He plays angry.’ How Melvin Ingram has helped turn around Kansas City Chiefs’ defense | Kansas City Star

“He’s playing angry,” Spagnuolo said. “I say that to him all the time — you play angry. I love it You’ve got everybody else getting angry too.”

A swap between two teams in the playoff picture doesn’t typically lead to immediate impact, but Ingram’s provided exactly that, even if it’s not come in his defining statistic — he’s been credited with only half a sack in his four games in Kansas City.
