Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Cyrus Allen spoke with reporters in the locker room following the preseason Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He described his incredible jumping reception during the game and the advice he received from veteran players. "I feel like that's something that I make spectacular catches, and I try just to be a reliable target for the quarterback," said Allen. "I'm responsible for it. That's my job to get open and catch the ball. So that's kind of what I live by."
