WR DeVante Parker

(We haven’t talked to you since the last game. Take me through your emotions of what happened in that fourth quarter skirmish and what you were trying to do standing up for WR Jakeem Grant?) – “I saw the same guy hit him twice. I saw ‘Coach Flo’ (Head Coach Brian Flores) go out there, so I just went out there. Then some guys started swinging. I was just trying to have my teammates’ back. That’s it. That’s all it is. We’re a brotherhood; we’re a family. You have to look out for your teammates.”

(I saw the Adam Schefter tweet with the kid wearing the Uncle Vante hospital gown. I wanted to ask you how did that come about and how you got involved with the Starlight Children’s Foundation?) – “We wanted to try to do something with them this year. So I was able to do that. I wasn’t able to talk to the kids but I was able to waive at them through the window. It was a good experience, giving back to the community. I’m looking forward to doing more of that with them.”

(Do you anticipate any repercussions coming down for you? Have you heard about a fine or anything?) – “Yeah, I’ve heard I’ll probably get a fine for it. It’s probably in the locker room waiting for me but I haven’t been in the locker room yet, so I’m not sure.”

(The Chiefs, everybody knows how much of a high-scoring offense they are. How confident are you that this team can put up the points that they need to keep pace?) – “We just have to execute our plays. Just take one play at a time. We don’t need to go for the big play all at once, if we can keep the driving moving. We take it one play at a time, that’s all.”

(It seems like your timing and chemistry with QB Tua Tagovaoloa has improved over the last few weeks. What do you attribute that to, and how do you anticipate that going from here on out?) – “I would attribute that to staying after practice and getting throws with him, getting catches in with him after practice. It’s just something that we have to continue doing.”

(You talk about the Chiefs. Obviously it’s no secret that they are the champs. Is there any extra motivation to prove you guys are for real with this type of opponent?) – “We don’t need any extra motivation. We just go out there and take it one play at a time. Just go out there and execute what we have to do.”
