Former Indiana football and Tri-West High School football player Peyton Hendershot has been waived by the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hendershot played for Kansas City on special teams in Week 2 after being acquired in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys.

He was inactive in the Chiefs’ opener, but he incurred a $5,472 fine − and the Chiefs were fined $100,000 − for pushing Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith along the sideline. Hendershot responded to what he felt was a late hit by Smith on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. No flag was thrown on the play.

Kansas City traded a conditional 7th-round draft pick on Aug. 27 to Dallas for Hendershot, who had 11 catches and 2 touchdowns in his 2022 rookie season. He had 4 catches last season.

Matt Ryan, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning were all stunned by Eagles’ decision to pass

Matt Ryan, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning started a combined 782 games at quarterback in their NFL careers. They’ve been in plenty of late-game situations where managing the clock is paramount. And they were unanimous on Monday night that whatever the Eagles did while leading late against the Falcons, they should not risk stopping the clock with an incomplete pass.

Ryan joined Peyton and Eli on the ManningCast, and with the Eagles leading 18-15 late in the fourth quarter, all three were warning Eagles coach Nick Sirianni not to call a pass.

“I don’t think the ball’s going in the air again,” Ryan said at the two-minute warning.

But Ryan was wrong about that, as Sirianni called for a third-and-3 pass that Eagles running back Saquon Barkley dropped, stopping the clock and handing the Falcons 40 extra seconds in a game that they’d end up winning by scoring a touchdown with 34 seconds left.

The Manning brothers thought that was the only way the Falcons could win.

“Think they’ll get the ball back, Peyton?” Eli asked on the broadcast as the Falcons were using their final timeouts.

“If Philly throws it,” Peyton answered.

“They’re not gonna throw it,” Eli scoffed.

Ryan agreed: “This ball shouldn’t go in the air the rest of the game”

Both Eli and Peyton thought the Eagles might try the tush push on third-and-3, and then go for it on fourth down and try it again if the tush push didn’t gain three yards.

“The push is coming. You can’t throw it here,” Peyton said.

The Eagles did throw it there. Incomplete, to stop the clock after the Falcons had used their final timeout.

“That’s why you don’t throw,” Peyton said. “Kirk Cousins is over there celebrating. As soon as he saw him drop back, he said, ‘Yes!'”

The Eagles’ pass attempt was one of the most shocking decisions of this young NFL season, and a decision that three quarterbacks who have been in that situation before were begging them not to make.
