Kareem Hunt's next challenge is to keep doing what he's doing

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Larry Johnson once was where Kareem Hunt is now, a running back for the Kansas City Chiefs who developed into a premier player seemingly overnight. Johnson rushed for more than 100 yards in his first three games after becoming Kansas City’s featured back in 2004.

Johnson’s coming-out party wasn’t as spectacular as that of Hunt, a rookie who, heading into this weekend’s games, leads the NFL in rushing yards with 401 and is tied for the lead in touchdowns with six.

But it was more than strong enough to get the attention of the Chiefs’ opponents the remainder of that season and beyond. That makes Johnson an excellent person to offer Hunt some friendly advice about what’s ahead.

“If I was him, I’d enjoy this now,” Johnson said. “Nobody around the league knows what he can do. He’s seeing what I saw when I first got started.

“I knew, especially in that 400-carry season (2006), every team was going to put eight men [at the line of scrimmage] against me. He’s not seeing that yet. Trust me, after another few games he’s going to start seeing corner blitzes, safety blitzes, linebacker blitzes. They’re going to really test him now just to keep him in the pocket so he’s not a receiving threat. They’re going to test his toughness by bringing more guys to the [line]. That’s how it was for me. You have to mentally prepare yourself for teams to game-plan for you.

“Let me tell you, that’s not easy. The longer you do it, the tougher it gets.”

Hunt has been the biggest star for the Chiefs, who are 3-0 heading into Monday night’s game against Washington (8:30 ET, ESPN) at Arrowhead Stadium. He has at least 100 yards from scrimmage in every game. The only rookies in NFL history to begin their seasons with more than three such games are Adrian Peterson (five) in 2007, LaDainian Tomlinson (four) in 2001 and Billy Sims (four) in 1980.

That’s great company for Hunt, a third-round pick. Keeping that pace or merely staying close will get more difficult, as Johnson and Chiefs coach Andy Reid suggest, because the bull’s-eye Hunt soon will be wearing during games tends to get heavy.

“He’s young in this, not only in age and experience, but he’s young in the season here,” Reid said. “The challenges are going to be answering the bell every week, physically and mentally.”

Hunt did nicely with a big workload in college at Toledo. He got the ball more than 850 times in four seasons and was productive throughout, averaging 6.3 yards per carry.

“I played the whole college season and I felt like I got better as the season went on too,” Hunt said. “You’ve got to keep going through it and keep taking care of your body each and every day. Do the most that you can do. Live in the training room, do little things to take care of your body.

“It starts now, just taking care of your body every day and just doing little things. Even when you’re not that sore, you’ve just got to keep working to get your body all the way back together, so you’ve got to take it day by day and week by week.”

The NFL is different than college, with more games and bigger and faster players. There’s also a mental and physical aspect to succeeding over the long haul.

That’s something another former great Chiefs back, Priest Holmes, can speak to.

“Running back is a position I call the ‘Warrior Position’ because of the amount of hits you’re taking during a game,” Holmes said. “Just to wake up on Monday morning and feel the way you do and then to know what the week ahead is going to bring, that can be difficult for a lot of players. You have to have something special to handle that, to anticipate being successful.

“I’m sure [Hunt] can do that. He looks like a special player.”

Curtis Martin didn’t play for the Chiefs, but is one of the best examples of a running back who was one of the NFL’s top players for an extended period. He missed just eight games over an 11-year career (1995-2005) spent with the New York Jets and New England Patriots, and between carries and receptions got the ball more than 300 times each season except one, his final campaign.

One of the assistant coaches during much of Martin’s time in New York was Bob Sutton, now the Chiefs’ defensive coordinator. All these years later, Sutton marvels at how Martin could withstand the punishment and come back week after week for more.

“Curtis was one of the most unique people I’ve ever been around,” Sutton said. “He had unbelievable focus. I don’t know if I’ve seen anybody have the focus he has and the great ability to control his own mind. I saw him get ready to play against Buffalo with two high-ankle sprains. He played and he played well. That’s supposed to be an injury that keeps you out however many weeks.

“He had great skills, great talent. He was a great runner. He was powerful for not a really big man. But he was just an unbelievable individual when he was getting ready for a game. To me, that defined Curtis. That made him different than a lot of backs in our league. Nothing else mattered to him than getting ready to play. Not many people can do that on a consistent basis.”

Reid said Hunt will be helped by working daily with running backs coach Eric Bieniemy, a former NFL player.

“He’s got [Bieniemy] in his hip pocket, right?” Reid said. “He does a phenomenal job with him. He’s been there as a player. He understands the challenges of that position. To have somebody like Eric is an important part of this.”

Bieniemy might help, but to hear Holmes and Johnson talk, much of the ability to handle the burden of being an NFL running back has to come from within. Either Hunt has the ability or he doesn’t.

“What drove me to answer that bell every week was crossing that goal line,” said Holmes, who led the NFL in touchdowns in 2002 (24) and 2003 (27). “I could make 70,000 people love me or I could make 70,000 people hate me just by scoring a touchdown, depending on whether we were home or away.

“That’s unique and different for every player. It’s not the same thing that’s going to get everybody ready for the call. But you have to have a prize, a goal, something to have your sights on. For me, it was always crossing that goal line, whether it took one play to do it or 10 plays or 20 plays.”

Johnson had a different ritual.

“I would watch a lot of tape of my runs, but I didn’t watch tape of the 2- and 3-yard runs,” he said. “I would watch the runs that were 10 yards and over. That built my confidence. I would watch tape of my runs against teams with tough defensive fronts. That built my confidence knowing and seeing those defenses could be hurt, that it was just a matter of time, that I could be successful against those defenses.”

Things worked out well for Holmes, who was able to sustain great success from the time he joined the Chiefs in 2001 until an injury in 2004 pushed his career into a decline.

Johnson didn’t manage as well for a long period, but was spectacular in 2005 and 2006 with more than 1,700 yards in each season.

Hunt looks poised to join Holmes and Johnson as great backs in Chiefs history. He’s got 13 more regular-season games this season to show he can handle the pressure and defensive attention that is sure to come his way.

“He’s a pretty humble kid,” Reid said. “With his makeup, he’ll be fine doing it.”

O.J. Simpson released from Nevada prison

LAS VEGAS — Former football legend O.J. Simpson became a free man Sunday after serving nine years for a botched hotel room heist in Las Vegas that brought the conviction and prison time he avoided in the killings of his ex-wife and her friend after his 1995 acquittal in the “trial of the century” in Los Angeles.

Simpson was released at 12:08 a.m. PT from Lovelock Correctional Center in northern Nevada, state prisons spokeswoman Brooke Keast told The Associated Press. She said she did not know the driver who met Simpson upon his release and didn’t know where Simpson was immediately headed in his first hours of freedom.

“I don’t have any information on where he’s going,” said Keast, who watched as Simpson signed documents and was let go. Her department released video on social media of Simpson being told to “come on out” by a prison staffer, exiting through an open door. He could be seen responding “OK” as he left, wearing a ball cap, denim jacket, jeans and white tennis shoes.

Tom Scotto, a close friend of Simpson who lives in Naples, Florida, said by text message that he was with Simpson following his release. Scotto didn’t respond to questions about where they were going or whether Simpson’s sister, Shirley Baker of Sacramento, California, or his daughter, Arnelle Simpson of Fresno, California, were with him.

The three had attended Simpson’s parole hearing in July at the same prison where Simpson spent his prison term and was released just minutes into the first day a parole board set for his possible release.

Simpson has said he wanted to move back to Florida, where he lived before his armed robbery conviction in Las Vegas in a September 2007 confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers.

Neither Simpson’s attorney, Malcolm LaVergne in Las Vegas, nor state Parole and Probation Capt. Shawn Arruti, who has been handling Simpson’s case, immediately responded to messages.

Keast said the dead-of-night release from the prison about 90 miles east of Reno, Nevada, was conducted to avoid media attention.

“We needed to do this to ensure public safety and to avoid any possible incident,” Keast added, speaking by telephone. She spoke from Lovelock, where she said she witnessed Simpson signing documents to be released.

Scores for every Week 4 game

NFL Nation reporters predict the outcomes and scores for Sunday’s and Monday’s Week 4 games.

PickCenter

We still don’t know for sure how much to trust the Saints’ defense, since that unit’s big turnaround in Week 3 came against struggling quarterback Cam Newton. But New Orleans should get top cornerback Marshon Lattimore back from a concussion. And Miami’s offense also has been off to a slow start this year, with just six points in a loss to the Jets last week. Also, the Dolphins’ pass defense has actually allowed a higher completion percentage to opposing quarterbacks (79 percent) than the Saints (73 percent). Saints 30, Dolphins 25 — Mike Triplett

The Dolphins are allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete 79 percent of passes this season. Miami’s pass coverage has been shaky, and that’s not good facing future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees. This game has the makings of a shootout, and the Saints’ passing game is too dynamic for Miami to keep up. Saints 28, Dolphins 21 — James Walker

PickCenter

Had Tyrod Taylor and Zay Jones connected on a last-second touchdown pass in Week 2, the Bills would enter this game 3-0. We’ll find out whether Buffalo is for real against the undefeated Falcons, who rank third in ESPN’s Football Power Index — 17 spots higher than the 2-1 Bills at No. 22. The past three games in which Matt Ryan faced a Sean McDermott-coached defense in Carolina, he completed 78 percent of his passes for 1,086 yards, 7 touchdowns, 1 interception and a 131.1 quarterback rating. With the NFL’s top defense in terms of points allowed (12.3), McDermott will have something to prove against Ryan. Falcons 28, Bills 20 — Mike Rodak

The Falcons haven’t played their best game, yet they’re still 3-0. The Bills boast the league’s top-scoring defense at 12.5 points per game and haven’t allowed a touchdown reception, but they haven’t seen the type of offensive firepower the Falcons present. Julio Jones, who said he’s fine coming off a back injury, should get his first touchdown of the season. And the running back tandem of Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman — who’ve guided the Falcons to a 7-0 record when combining for 200 yards — should give the Bills fits. Defensively, the Falcons need to hold LeSean McCoy in check. Falcons 28, Bills 13 — Vaughn McClure

PickCenter

The palpable tension in the Steelers’ locker room coming off the anthem mess is a problem. Perhaps that tension will galvanize them, but it seems to be swinging the other way, at the worst possible time. Couple that reality with the Ravens’ stronghold over Pittsburgh in M&T Bank Stadium and the Steelers are poised to drop to 2-2. The Steelers haven’t scored more than 20 points in Baltimore since 2012 and average 12.3 points over their past three games there. Expect an inspired effort from Ben Roethlisberger, but it won’t be enough. Ravens 21, Steelers 17 — Jeremy Fowler

The Ravens have beaten the Steelers four consecutive times at M&T Bank Stadium, and Roethlisberger has thrown four touchdown passes and seven interceptions in his past five games in Baltimore. Baltimore’s defense will have plenty to prove after getting humiliated against the Jaguars. Ravens 24, Steelers 17 — Jamison Hensley

PickCenter

In a battle of 0-3 teams, somebody has to win, right? There’s no reason that shouldn’t be Cincinnati, which took a step forward against the Packers but couldn’t close out the game. The Bengals aren’t as bad as their record. They often play Cleveland close, but the Bengals’ talent should win out here. Bengals 24, Browns 17 — Katherine Terrell

It would be nice to say this is the week the Browns get their win, except last week was supposed to be that week and the Browns rang alarm bells with a poor game. The defense has had trouble with Antonio Brown and T.Y. Hilton and now gets A.J. Green and a Bengals team desperate to avoid embarrassment. Bengals 24, Browns 13 — Pat McManamon

PickCenter

This will be the Rams’ biggest test of the year — on the road against a Cowboys team that won 13 games last season. Dallas’ offense hasn’t hit full throttle yet, but it should soon. The Rams’ defense is better than it has shown the past two weeks while allowing a combined 806 yards to the Redskins and 49ers. But the Cowboys will be a little too much to handle here. Cowboys 31, Rams 21 — Alden Gonzalez

The Cowboys are coming off a short week. The Rams are coming off a 10-day break. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips would like to make a statement against the team that fired him in the middle of the 2010 season. Jared Goff spent last year hearing how the Rams should have selected Dak Prescott. This game will be another grind-it-out affair but one in which we see Ezekiel Elliott finally look the way he did a year ago since he’s facing the 29th-ranked run defense. Cowboys 23, Rams 20 — Todd Archer

PickCenter

The Titans haven’t won at Houston since the 2011 season. Coach Mike Mularkey said those “in a row” streaks have to stop at some point. It stops Sunday as the Titans neutralize Deshaun Watson’s legs and make life difficult for him with exotic blitzes and diverse looks. Tennessee’s three-headed running attack of DeMarco Murray, Derrick Henry and Marcus Mariota is the NFL’s second-leading rushing offense, and the Titans will do enough to slow down Houston’s trio of dominant pass-rushers. Titans 27, Texans 17 — Cameron Wolfe

One key to the Texans’ back-to-back AFC South titles is how well they have played in the division, including going 5-1 in 2016. Sunday’s game against the Titans is important in the playoff race, because if they lose to Tennessee at home — for the first time since the 2011 season — they would start 0-2 in the division. The Titans will be a tough test, but Deshaun Watson will continue to improve, and the Texans’ defense will rebound from the loss to the Patriots. Texans 24, Titans 20 — Sarah Barshop

PickCenter

Even in Sunday’s loss to Atlanta, the Lions have looked like one of the better teams in the NFL. Minnesota’s defense will be a big issue — particularly with its pressure on Matthew Stafford, but the ninth-year quarterback has shown better timing and elusiveness this year than in years past. Injuries are a concern — particularly with 11 guys, including seven starters, practicing on a limited basis or not practicing at all at least one day this week. Minnesota, though, has its own injury worries at quarterback. Good teams find ways to win games even when they are injured, and since most of the Lions’ injuries seem to be ones in which guys are still going to play, that should give Detroit just enough to beat the Vikings in a close game. Lions 24, Vikings 21 — Mike Rothstein

Minnesota is ranked No. 2 in total offense without Sam Bradford the past two weeks. It looks like Bradford might be out another week, so a number of factors are going to matter for Case Keenum to repeat what he did in Week 3. Luckily, the Vikings have two of the top producing wide receivers, and when it comes to defending Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs, the Lions won’t want to leave them one-on-one. Detroit’s secondary looked really good last week with three interceptions (a feat also accomplished by Minnesota against Jameis Winston), but overall, Minnesota’s defense is better. The Lions don’t pose much of a rushing threat, but Minnesota will want to slow Matthew Stafford from the beginning and force turnovers to get the offense back on the field. Vikings 23, Lions 14 — Courtney Cronin

PickCenter

The Panthers have moved the ball successfully in the first three games. They rank second in the league in time of possession at 34:01 per game. They just keep shooting themselves in the foot in the red zone. Cam Newton will have an opportunity once again to correct that against the league’s last-place defense in terms of yards allowed, and Christian McCaffrey had what one could call his breakout game with 101 yards receiving against New Orleans. This will come down to whether the defense, ranked No. 1 in the league, can keep Tom Brady and the Patriots’ offense out of the end zone more than a couple of times. That doesn’t seem likely. Patriots 27, Panthers 24 — David Newton

For a Patriots team that has allowed 95 points through three games — its highest total in its first three games since 1994 — Carolina might be the right foe to get back on track. The Panthers have scored just 45 points in three games this season, and Cam Newton isn’t running like he used to, which coach Ron Rivera called his “new reality.” Patriots 33, Panthers 17 — Mike Reiss

PickCenter

Consistency has been the theme of the week for the Jaguars. They’ve had two blowout victories sandwiched around a blowout loss and need to put together back-to-back good games if they’re really going to be a contender in the division. They’re a road favorite for the first time since Week 10 in 2011 mainly because of their defense, which ranks in the top 10 in takeaways, total yards, passing yards and sacks. The Jets may be without RB Matt Forte, and that would be a big loss. Jaguars 21, Jets 13 — Mike DiRocco

The Jets were terrific last week, but let’s hold the parade. This still is a team with many deficiencies. Their best chance to win is to be physical and run the ball, as the Titans did in Week 2, but the Jets have yet to demonstrate a consistent rushing offense (only 89 yards per game). They also could be without leading rusher Matt Forte. This will be an ugly, low-scoring game that will hinge on a key turnover and a long run by Leonard Fournette. Jaguars 17, Jets 16 — Rich Cimini

PickCenter

There are a lot of things working in the Niners’ favor this week. They had extra time off after playing last Thursday night, while the Cardinals are coming off a short week in which they suffered more injuries along the offensive line. The 49ers’ defense won’t be as bad as it was on a short week against the Rams, and though the pass rush has been hit or miss, it’s more likely to hit when the opposing offensive line has been injured and ineffective. The key for the Niners will be for the offense to build on the momentum it gained against the Rams and finally put together a complete performance. The guess here is it happens and the 49ers break through for their first win under coach Kyle Shanahan. 49ers 27, Cardinals 23 — Nick Wagoner

There are a lot of reasons why the Cardinals should lose this game. They’ve given up 11 sacks in the first three games. They’re ranked 31st in rushing yards per game. And they’re letting opposing quarterbacks complete 66.7 percent of their passes of 15 yards or longer. But Arizona is expected to get at least one, possibly two starting offensive linemen back this week, which should help reduce some of the pressure on Carson Palmer and improve the rushing game. Arizona’s front seven on defense also will be too much for 49ers quarterback Brian Hoyer. Cardinals 24, 49ers 13 — Josh Weinfuss

PickCenter

The Eagles have dropped eight of their past nine on the road and have lost their past three games against AFC opponents. Whether you put stock into those kinds of trends or not, the fact remains that the Eagles are expected to be without three key players Sunday: DT Fletcher Cox (calf), CB Ronald Darby (ankle) and RB Darren Sproles, now on IR with a torn ACL and broken forearm. They’re coming off an emotional divisional win against the Giants and are facing a desperate 0-3 Chargers team. They’ll have their work cut out for them. Chargers 27, Eagles 26 — Tim McManus

They’re due. The Chargers are 0-3 and have lost eight consecutive games dating back to last season. But they have not lost at home against Philadelphia since 1974, and at some point, the team’s luck has to turn. The defense, led by Melvin Ingram, continues to play well, and Philip Rivers finally finds a way to consistently get the offense in the end zone. Chargers 24, Eagles 21 — Eric Williams

PickCenter

The Giants are hoping to build off last week’s fourth quarter, when they scored 24 points after totaling just 13 over the first 11 quarters this season. While their passing attack may have gotten on track, they still can’t run the ball (last in the NFL in yards per game), protect the quarterback, make big plays on special teams or, surprisingly, stop the run. Tampa Bay might not have the running game to exploit that final Giant problem, but the Bucs have the defensive front to give New York fits. The Giants are going to have trouble against any team with a decent defensive front, and bad teams find ways to lose on the road. This is one of those spots for the Giants. Bucs 22, Giants 21 — Jordan Raanan

The Bucs expect to be without linebackers Kwon Alexander and Lavonte David, who have become one of the best linebacking duos in the league. That means rookie Kendell Beckwith will be making the calls on defense. Beckwith has a really bright future ahead of him and has played well the past two weeks, but he’s still inexperienced. Getting Brent Grimes back will help, but considering the Bucs’ struggles giving up explosive plays to Case Keenum last week, this one is going to be really tough. Giants 24, Bucs 20 — Jenna Laine

PickCenter

The Raiders, as Khalil Mack said, were just served “a humble pie” on national television by Washington. Not a piece. Not a slice. The whole pie. Oakland’s offensive line, then, should remember what got the Raiders going last November when they dominated the line of scrimmage, rushing for 218 yards. That rushing offense is even better now with Marshawn Lynch and should go back to what worked when the Raiders were healthy on offense, rather than the season finale, when neither quarterback Matt McGloin nor Connor Cook could get the Raiders’ offense moving. Oakland simply matches up well with Denver — Mack vs. Menelik Watson? — and should rebound from last week’s wake-up call. Otherwise, more pies will be coming the Raiders’ way. Raiders 26, Broncos 24 — Paul Gutierrez

In the Raiders’ 30-20 win last November over the Broncos, Oakland rushed for 218 yards. And that will be the proverbial game within the game this time around as the Broncos lead the league in run defense after three games — they held Ezekiel Elliott to 8 yards rushing in Week 2 — and the Broncos’ offense is third in the league in rushing at 143 yards per game. If they do that kind of work on both sides of the ball Sunday, they’ll get the win. Broncos 24, Raiders 21 — Jeff Legwold

PickCenter

This was supposed to be Andrew Luck vs. Russell Wilson, Part II, when the schedule came out in the spring. Luck (shoulder) is still out, and Seattle’s offense is tied for 26th in the NFL in points (16.0) per game. Seattle gets the edge in the battle of 1-2 teams because it’s playing at home, where crowd noise will play a factor, especially because the Colts have been called for a league-high seven false-start penalties this season. The Colts’ offensive line isn’t good enough to protect quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who is making his first NFL road start. Seattle finds its rhythm in handing the Colts their third loss of the season. Seahawks 27, Colts 13 — Mike Wells

Why are the Seahawks favored by 13 points over Indianapolis when they’ve failed to even score that many points in two of their first three games? It’s not just because the Colts are again playing without Andrew Luck. Another reason might be that they’ve been dominant in prime time. Since Pete Carroll arrived in 2010, the Seahawks are 19-3-1 in prime-time games, outscoring opponents 581-298. That includes a 12-1 record at CenturyLink Field, where they’ll host the Colts on Sunday night. Matchups that look easy on paper have turned out to be more difficult than expected for the Seahawks. Their win over San Francisco in Week 2 was the latest example. Frank Gore has been a thorn in the side of the Seahawks’ defense for more than a decade, and T.Y. Hilton burned their secondary when the teams last met in 2013. So, it might not be as easy as the point spread would suggest. But the Seahawks should win to get back to .500. Seahawks 26, Colts 16 — Brady Henderson

PickCenter

The Redskins’ defense has fared well the past two weeks against good offenses in the Rams and Raiders. They dominated Oakland on Sunday night, excelling at limiting the Raiders after the catch. But Oakland lacked the home run threat Kansas City has in Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt. They apply more pressure because one miss on them equals six points. Chiefs 24, Redskins 20 — John Keim

It doesn’t always look pretty, but the Chiefs usually find a way against the league’s top offensive teams. They have wins this season over the Patriots and Eagles, both teams in the top 10 in yards and points. Monday night’s opponent, Washington, is in the top 10 in yards and 13th in scoring. Washington is better statistically on defense than either of those teams but hasn’t yet played against an opponent with an offensive capability like the Chiefs, who lead the league in yards per play and are third in points. Chiefs 24, Redskins 17 — Adam Teicher

Fox: Bears evaluating everything, including QB

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Chicago Bears coach John Fox said he’s evaluating every position, including quarterback, after Mike Glennon had four turnovers in Thursday night’s ugly 35-14 loss to the Packers.

“We need to make a lot of changes,” Fox said when asked specifically about quarterback. “We will evaluate everything, and we’ve got a lot of work to do before we line up against Minnesota on [Oct. 9]. We are going to look at everything.”

Fox refused to pin all of the Bears’ woes on Glennon.

“I don’t think all of those were Mike’s turnovers,” Fox said. “Again, there are a lot of people out there that are involved. We had dropped balls. We had penalties. There was plenty of stuff to pass around.

“I think we evaluate every day. It’s not going to be a new novelty; it’s just that obviously we have to fix some things on our football team. We are 1-3 to start the season. Not just the quarterback. Everybody wants to talk about the quarterback. We have more issues than the quarterback.”

But none seemingly more pressing.

The Bears promised Glennon — signed for $16 million guaranteed — the starting job in 2017, even after drafting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky second overall in April. But Glennon has eight turnovers in four games.

According to Elias Sports Bureau, Glennon is the only Bears player in the past 40 seasons with three turnovers in a half twice within the first four games of a season.

“The No. 1 thing we obviously have to fix are the turnovers,” Glennon said. “I’m not giving our team a chance when you turn the ball over like that.”

Trubisky — elevated to No. 2 on the QB depth chart ahead of Mark Sanchez four weeks ago — sparked the Bears’ offense in the preseason, passing for 364 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 106. 2 passer rating.

“Again, Mitch is a young player, four regular-season games into his rookie season in his NFL career,” Fox said. “Like I said, we have a big gap here [in terms of Trubisky’s experience versus Glennon’s]. We will look at everything and everybody, not just the quarterback position.”
