The Kansas City Chiefs lucked out this year, with their bye week falling smack dab in the middle of the season, giving the players and coaching staff a much-needed break from the grind at a crucial time of the NFL season. Some players utilize their time away from the facility to turn their brains off and forget about football for a few days.
One player who subscribes to this philosophy is rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice, who said while standing outside of his locker on Thursday that he went back to his hometown and, “got some good cooking from [his] Grandma” before he returned to Kansas City to spend some time with family.
