One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.

It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.

> If Armstrong also continues building that same rapport with K.C.'s QB, don't be surprised if he earns a spot as the Chiefs' fifth receiver by the time the regular season comes by.
