Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray spoke with reporters on Sunday after the victory over the Carolina Panthers. He explained the team’s uncanny ability not to get rattled after almost blowing a two-score lead in the fourth quarter.
“It goes back to the guys and trusting the guys on the team,” said Gray. “This is a great group of guys and I am fortunate enough to practice with them all week. The preparation that goes into it, from the coaches all the way down to the players, just super fortunate to play alongside those guys.”
Gray had another standout game, leading the team with two touchdown receptions, but he understood the formula for a comeback after the Panthers tied the game in regulation.
“We trust every single one of those guys in that locker room. We always have a lot of confidence in each other, and fortunately Spence made a phenomenal kick down the stretch,” said Gray. “You know, he’s only been here for a week and a half. But shout out to Spence, man; I mean, that guy just came to work and just kept his head down. He’s a humble dude, and he made a great kick to get the win for us.”
Sunday marks the first time the Chiefs had a pass catcher record at least two touchdown receptions in back-to-back games since WR Tyreek Hill accomplished the feat vs. the New York Jets and the Carolina Panthers during the 2020 season. Gray finished his record-setting day by tying single-game career highs for catches (four) and receiving yards (66) to go with the two touchdowns en route to Kansas City’s 30-27 victory.
