Kansas City safety Bryan Cook said this week the Chiefs will have their hands full.

“Explosive,” Cook said Wednesday. “Anytime, with a quarterback like Russell, they can launch it 70 yards and they can go get it at any point in the game. So, for us, it's a challenge. I'm excited for it. I'm looking forward to the game.”
