Chiefs headlines for Friday, May 17
During the commencement speech, Butker referred to Pride Month as an example of the “deadly sins.” He also addressed gender ideologies and said a woman’s most important title is “homemaker.”
“Not the deadly sins sort of Pride that has an entire month dedicated to it,” Butker said, “but the true God-centered pride that is cooperating with the holy ghost to glorify him.”
Butker spoke for more than 20 minutes to students at...

Sean Payton will return to New Orleans to face the Saints this year, as will Russell Wilson be traveling to Denver to face the Broncos...talk about awkward...but what are some of the other most uncomfortable reunion stories in the NFL?
The NFL regular season schedule for 2024 was released this week, and among the most eyeball-grabbing matchups were the New Orleans Saints, Sean Payton’s former team, heading west to play the Denver Broncos, Payton’s current team, as well as Russell Wilson’s Pittsburgh Steelers traveling west to face the team still paying him a butt load of money just to see...

What to keep an eye on heading into team’s workouts
We’re easing our way into the 2024 NFL season as OTAs are just around the corner with the Las Vegas Raiders scheduled to begin workouts on Monday, May 20.
While the first couple of weeks are about installing the playbook and helping players get back in shape, the second phase allows for non-padded on-field drills where the position battles will commence.
So, what are the Raiders' biggest storylines heading into OTAs?
Truth be told, this will be a storyline throughout offseason workouts/practices and up until Week 1...

Kansas City’s rookie tight end could help the team get back to the success it found in 2022 with three tight end sets.
It’s not a secret: while the team won its second-straight Super Bowl in 2023, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense had problems. You could even characterize the unit’s underwhelming, frustrating performance as a borderline crisis.
While there were a lot of reasons for it, one of the most underappreciated issues was that after being a big part of the team’s offensive success in 2022, the performance of the team’s 13 personnel package — with a running back and...

Every broadcast partner of the league wants a piece of the Chiefs when they see the final schedule.
The Kansas City Chiefs and two-time MVP Patrick Mahomes have become the NFL’s hottest attraction for television audiences.
If the announcement of the 2024 schedule — which sees the Chiefs playing every day of the week except Tuesday — was not evidence enough, NFL broadcast planning vice president Mike North made the point clear during a media call on Thursday morning.
“They’re Cowboys-level assets right now,” he said of the Chiefs. “Knowing that everybody’s going get a certain number of them, being...

Here is my best and most realistic prediction for the wins and losses from the Denver Broncos 2024 regular season schedule.
The Denver Broncos will face a rather brutal gauntlet of games in 2024. Their regular season schedule features three stretches of games that figure to be as difficult as they could be and their Bye Week is so late in the season that fatigue could become a factor for them as well.
That said, I remember analyzing the schedule in May of 2023 and felt like they would run through the first month of the season before hitting a...

A few things that stood out about how the regular season campaign lays out for Kansas City.
The 17-game regular season schedule for the Kansas City Chiefs is now known, with dates, times and broadcast information official.
Our Pete Sweeney shared some instant analysis on the announced schedule, including the early bye week in Week 6 and the variety of primetime games the Chiefs will be featured in.
He also noted the late-season stretch that squeezes Kansas City into three games over 10 days. That is one part of a much bigger takeaway from the Chiefs’ schedule — and it’s...

Getting to know veteran offensive lineman
The Las Vegas Raiders’ added offensive lineman Andrus Peat in free agency this offseason.
We will be getting to know him more very quickly, but here are five aspects of Peat the player and person that Raiders fans should know:
Lots of experience:
Peat, 30, is entering his 10th NFL season. He was the No. 13 overall draft pick in the 2015 draft. He has played in 111 NFL games with 102 starts. That’s pretty good experience to find in free agency after the draft.
Any positional hints?
Most of Peat’s experience came at...

Too many goal-line drives stall
We all the Las Vegas Raiders have relied on outstanding and clutch kicker Daniel Carlson to score points on far too many stalled drives in recent seasons.
That has to be on the top of new Raiders’ offensive coordinator Luke Getsy’s to-do list in 2024. The Raiders have to punch the ball into the end zone in the red zone at a much higher rate.
In 2024, the Raiders were toward the bottom of the NFL on touchdown percentage rate in goal-to-go situations. The Raiders scored on just 65 percent of such situations. Only seven...
