He did alright. He still has some quickness. Took down Jamaal Charles from behind. Mentally, he's lacking. I'm chalking that up right now to him essentially still being a rookie, but he had an entire year as a pro when he should have been soaking up the mental aspects of the game.

He is not good playing the run. He and Clowney don't really seem to contain the edge well, but maybe the D doesn't ask them to do this? All things considered, this will be the healthiest game Charles plays all season, and he didn't blow them up at least, especially in a game where the Chiefs had a comfortable lead almost all game.

I wanted Mallett much earlier. Check the ItB twitter timeline yesterday, lol.

That said, we have to keep in mind that Mallett basically entered the game in garbage time, and the TD to Hop was essentially considered as garbage time points in the fantasy football realm. The Chiefs weren't in a prevent, but they were giving out cushions bigger than Mattress Mack in the 4th quarter.
