Rams tight ends are two more weapons Chiefs have to be prepared for

LA Times  

Rams tight end Tyler Higbee celebrates his touchdown catch with tight end Gerald Everett in a game against the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 11. Goff tossed touchdown passes to tight ends Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee in a victory over the Seattle Seahawks, the first time the two tight ends scored touchdowns in the same game. “They stepped up big.” The tight ends’ prominence against the Seahawks forces the Chiefs to spend time game-planning for playmakers other than running back Todd Gurley and receivers Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds on Monday night at the Coliseum. “Just my turn to make a play.” Everett and Higbee figure to get more opportunities against the Chiefs, who feature tight end Travis Kelce, a three-time Pro Bowl pick who has 57 receptions for 787 yards and six touchdowns.
