KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Tempers had started to flare during last Sunday’s game and quarterback Alex Smith was in the last place the Kansas City Chiefs wanted him: right in the middle of things.
Smith had taken offense to a hit by San Diego Chargers safety Jahleel Addae after he had carried on the read-option and had more than a few words for his opponent. Soon, other players from both sides were involved and for a moment the situation appeared ready to get out of hand.
The coolest head of the bunch belonged to a rookie: Chiefs center Mitch Morse.
