Kansas City Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos, punter/holder Dustin Colquitt and long snapper James Winchester haven’t been on the same page the past two games.

Kicker Cairo Santos was dialed in Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. And that proved a good thing since he was only player scoring points for the Chiefs at Paul Brown Stadium.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs started with 90 players at the end of July and they now have 53 in the locker room, in a roster that has changed three times in three days.
