From the land of the free and the home of the chiefs, this is the

locked on chiefs podcast. Welcome back to another episode of locked on chiefs.

I am Chris Clark. Man's genetic editorlocked on Chiefs.com and a contributor at Chiefs Digest and we have with us today Matt Derek of Chiefs Digest.

Matt, how much was, what was the locker room like after that win?

Oh, that was, that was a pretty good locker room, especially compared to a few of the games of late.

That was a happy group. They had their AFC West hats on,

pretty good celebrations. Everybody was in obviously a really good mood after that one.

Well, and you talk about what they've been like as of late. Obviously they've lost a couple of games, but even on the road, even on the wins, have they been near as happy as they were tonight?

No, this was a little bit different. I mean, I think that really over the last, I'd say,

six, seven weeks of the season, it's been a little bit of a struggle. I mean, it really hasn't.

I think ever since the Rams game,

for obviously a lot of different reasons.

I think it's been a struggle for this team.

I don't think they've been having as much fun

as they did earlier in the season.

This game was a lot closer to what we saw in the first half of the year to the second half of the

year.

Obviously the outcome helped with that going out and beating down the team pretty good.

That it was probably the biggest factor with that and that's going to be important because I think this group obviously they need to get back to that that feel that they had during the first half of the season and they needed a game like this on both sides of the ball to really get coming out of that swagger back.

And we did.

We saw some of that swagger back in the locker room after the game.

And I thought that came out and showed it a little bit on both sides.
