Rookie Johnson shines with 128 rec yards, TD, clutch return; needs bigger role.

Rookie running back Emmett Johnson was identified as the brightest spot in the Chiefs' loss, finishing with 128 receiving yards and a touchdown; he also had a clutch kick return late in the fourth quarter that set up a short field and a chance to win, and the source argues he needs to be an explicit part of the team's game plan moving forward, suggesting the coaching staff should have fed him more on the final drive.
