KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- As a starting safety, Juan Thornhill usually isn't involved when the Kansas City Chiefs try to pressure the opposing quarterback with more than the usual four pass-rushers. He said he likes to see it called, anyway.
"The ball's coming out quickly," Thornhill said. "Quarterbacks get a little antsy in the pocket and they start throwing the ball up, and it allows us to make more plays.
"The quarterback has guys in his face all the time and he's not comfortable. He sees the opposite color. He's trying to find a way to get the ball out, and that gives us opportunity to make the play on the ball.
