Q: On Travon Walker

Hines-Allen: I mean, we love Travon, you know, it's the next man up mentality. It's hard to, you know, it's really hard to say that, because I would love for him to be out there, but I think he understands what -- like he understands the game, and he knows the guys behind him has his back and are going to play as hard as they can for us, because he just wants us to win and you know, be successful, but if he can be able to go, I know he's gonna give us 110% and he is going to do as much as he can to help us win.

Q: On fans impact at MNF

Hines-Allen: Fans, no fans. I played in front of zero fans. You know, it is what it is, but I would love to hear -- third down needs to be crazy. ... When we played the Chargers, I felt them. I thought we had one of the best atmospheres that I've ever been a part of. And if we could continue to have that, continue to bring that, continue to believe, not just come to enjoy, but come to know that we are gping win that game and cheer like we are, I think we feed off that.

Q: On Patrick Mahomes

Hines-Allen: I mean, he's a very smart player, so in the backend, we have to do, I think it's just rush and coverage again. Up front, we got to affect him. We got to make sure he keeps his eyes on the rush and not the back end. And then even in the back end, we got to do a good job in disguise and looks, because he's very smart. He's seen a lot of defenses, a lot of different schemes,
