GEORGE KARLAFTIS – KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Karlaftis lined up at defensive end for 51 of 59 snaps in Kansas City’s 27-19 win over Houston, recording a whopping seven pressures along with a pair of tackles. The 14-1 Chiefs will head to Pittsburgh for a 1 p.m. E.T. showdown on Christmas Day.

The rookie running back ran seven times for 26 yards and caught four passes for 43 yards, including a touchdown, in the Giants’ 34-7 loss to the Falcons. Tracy will square off with his hometown team, as Indianapolis heads to New York for a 1 p.m. E.T. kickoff on Sunday.
