KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- When he returned a kickoff for a touchdown a few weeks ago in Denver, Tyreek Hill had put so much space between himself and the Broncos coverage team that he had time to give DeAnthony Thomas a high-five.Before he reached the end zone.On Sunday, when the speedy rookie for the Kansas City Chiefs reached the open field on a punt return against Oakland, his mouthpiece popped to the turf when he was within sight of the goal line.He might have had time to stop and pick it up.I was chewing on the side of it and I made a move, and I dropped it, said Hill, who at least made an attempt to grab it out of midair before it hit the turf. That would have been epic.Epic is a good word for Hills scintillating performances.His return TD in a crucial 21-13 win over the Raiders made him the first rookie since Gale Sayers in 1965 to score on a punt return, kick return, on the ground and through the air. Hill also hauled in his sixth touchdown reception earlier in the game, giving him nine touchdowns total this season -- third-most by a rookie in franchise history behind only Abner Haynes and Billy Jackson.Most of these names mean very little to Hill; Haynes played in the 1960s, Jackson in the `80s. But he does know of Sayers, the Kansas Comet who starred for the Jayhawks before joining the Chicago Bears.I mean, I didnt know, Hill said. Thats great. But Im not the only one on that field doing it. Without those guys blocking for me and Alex throwing me the rock, none of that stuff would happen.Hills record-breaking season has caused some internal conflict for fans that cannot forgive his off-the-field issues. Domestic abuse is a serious crime, and the case that got him kicked out of Oklahoma State and sent him sliding to the fifth round of the draft was particularly egregious.But many have decided to give Hill a second chance, pointing out the counseling sessions that he has been diligently attending, and the community service work that has been part of the fallout.Those were the fans who were chanting his name before his punt return touchdown against Oakland.Ive never seen a stadium chanting a name like that, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said, and then he houses it. It gave me chills on the sideline. I mean, the whole stadium was chanting his name and he answers. I thought it was one of the coolest things I have seen.Its not just that Hill has been scoring touchdowns, either.Theyve been crucial touchdowns.His first touchdown reception came in the season opener against San Diego, the momentum-turning blow in what became the biggest comeback in franchise history. His first touchdown at Arrowhead Stadium came in a 27-21 win over New Orleans. And he scored on the ground, through the air and on that kick return in Denver -- the Chiefs only three touchdowns in a 30-27 victory.Am I surprised? No, not at all, Smith said. Two things: I think he obviously has that kind of ability and those tools, but I think mentally he is really smart and really works hard.For a young kid, the stage is not too big. He doesnt blink out there, Smith continued. We can do a lot with him and move him around and he can play in a lot of different positions. He is on it. He prepares every week. There was a process, but it was very clear early in OTAs that he had a lot of ability and they have put more and more on his plate, and I think hes responded really well.Andy Reid was asked this week where the Chiefs would be this season without Hill, and the veteran coach predictably punted. He doesnt often bite on hypotheticals. But its an intriguing question, and one to which the Chiefs are glad they dont have to know the answer as they prepare to host Tennessee on Sunday.Yeah, Im proud of the kid, Reid said. Ive mentioned that in the past here that Im proud of him more for what hes done off the field than on the field. Hes trying to right a wrong. Its hard because its something that hes not real proud of. So, listen, hes doing the right things and trying to do the right things here now.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Austin Seferian-Jenkins is getting a quick second chance from the New York Jets.Coach Todd Bowles is counting on the tight end to make the most of it.I dont have any reservations yet because I havent met him, Bowles said shortly after practice Wednesday. As I get to know him, obviously, with the situations hes been in, hes going to sink or swim on his own.We brought in the player. He has a chance to clean his act up, and well see what happens.Seferian-Jenkins arrived at the Jets facility after practice to complete his physical, and was expected to join his new teammates on the field for the first time Thursday.The talented but troubled tight end was claimed off waivers Monday from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who cut him last week after he was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence. Three days later, he had a new job with a new team.Hes a guy we looked at in the summer that we had interest in, Bowles said. He became available by unforeseen circumstances, so we figured wed take a look at him.The Florida Highway Patrol said in a news release last Friday that Seferian-Jenkins was driving between 75 and 80 mph on Interstate 275 when his vehicle cut in front of a troopers cruiser and weaved back and forth. He was charged with DUI and violation of an ignition interlock device restriction from an arrest in Washington in 2013.Seferian-Jenkins refused a breath test at the Hillsborough County Jail and was released by the Buccaneers later that day.A video posted by TMZ showed dash cam footage from the troopers cruiser of the arrest, during which Seferian-Jenkins repeatedly told the officer he had to use the bathroom.Bowles said he had not seen the video, but heard about it and would adddress it with Seferian-Jenkins when he met with him.ddddddddddddBefore making the move to claim him, the Jets did background on Seferian-Jenkins and felt comfortable enough that he could fit in with the team. He could face a suspension by the NFL for the alcohol-related offense, but the league often lets the legal process play out before handing down penalties.You weigh in on him and you ask a lot of questions, Bowles said. You go around and ask former coaches, former players that played with him, coaches hes with now, training staff, equipment, and you make an overall assessment and you come to an agreement to see how your locker room, how your team is and see if he has a chance to thrive or succeed in it. All you can do is give him a chance.Bowles was uncertain whether Seferian-Jenkins would be able to play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.If hes not up to speed, Bowles said, hes not going to play.Game notes WR Brandon Marshall has 12 catches for 160 yards and no TDs, and acknowledged that he needs to be better. I havent done a great job of getting open, he said. Ive just got to make more plays. He also feels for the online GMs who drafted him early. Its not a good start to the season to have me in your fantasy (league), he said with a smile. ... The Jets waived 2013 first-round pick CB Dee Milliner from injured reserve, a move that had been expected for some time. Milliner was waived/injured during final roster cuts and then spent the first three weeks of the regular season on the teams IR list with a hamstring ailment.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
