Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray delivered another solid performance last Sunday during the team's victory over the Cleveland Browns. Gray, who has become a reliable target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, made his presence felt in the Week 15 matchup. In the final five minutes of the first half, Mahomes found Gray wide open in the back of the end zone for a six-yard touchdown, marking Gray's fifth touchdown of the season.
This achievement not only set a new single-season career high for Gray but also extended his impressive streak to five touchdowns in as many weeks. He wrapped up the game with two catches for 21 yards, continuing to demonstrate his value to the Chiefs' offense.
In a press conference on Tuesday, Gray shared his perspective on how the team's unique schedule impacts player rest and preparation. With the Chiefs set to play on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium against the Houston Texans and then traveling for a Christmas Day game with the Pittsburgh Steelers, maintaining energy levels is a priority.
