“I love this city. I love this team. I left it all out on the field every play. I have always dreamed of being here in Seattle.

- Melvin Gordon, RB (Broncos): The seven-year veteran finished with 110 rushing yards on 12 carries, including a 47-yard touchdown run in the Broncos’ loss to the Chiefs. Gordon also had a costly red zone fumble that was returned for a touchdown to give the Chiefs a fourth quarter lead. Despite the fumble on Sunday, it was a nice bounce back season for Gordon who now enters free agency after two years in Denver.
