Why the Chiefs love Steve Spagnuolo: Exotic blitzes, tough love and home cooking | The Athletic

Reconnecting with Reid in 2019 made those memories fade. But now, three championship parades later, Spagnuolo is 64 years old. His cholesterol is a little high. One of his hips wore out and needed to be replaced, but he still can sprint down the sideline to call a timeout, even if he isn’t supposed to.

Will he ever get another chance?

“You’d like to think you’re evaluated not by a...

Horse Tracks: Bo Nix believes the Broncos’ best football is ahead of them

The Denver Broncos have had their ups and downs this season. However, rookie quarterback Bo Nix thinks the best is yet to come.

Good morning, Broncos Country.

The Denver Broncos have dropped two straight games to tough AFC foes, but all hope isn’t lost in Broncos Country.

A 5-5 record might not be what fans were hoping for at this juncture. It’s certainly not where the players and coaches wanted to be either. Nevertheless, there are reasons for optimism. The Broncos control their own destiny. They have a good shot at making the playoffs if they can take care of...

Chargers-Bengals Wednesday Injury Report: Khalil Mack, Hayden Hurst absent

Chargers-Bengals Wednesday Injury Report: Khalil Mack, Hayden Hurst absent

Khalil Mack and Hayden Hurst were the only two Chargers to sit out Wednesday’s practice.

The Chargers came away from their win over the Titans fairly unscathed. No player left the game early due to an injury and that’s always a big win just ahead of a pivotal game in the season.

On the first injury report of the week for the Chargers, nine players are listed. Seven of them carry limited tags while the other two were DNP. Wednesday’s absent players were edge rusher Khalil Mack (groin) and tight end Hayden Hurst (not injury related). Mack played just four...

Coming off an impressive performance at his natural position, Las Vegas Raiders rookie center Jackson Powers-Johnson is expected to remain at center Sunday when the team plays at the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. PT.

Chiefs see 3 key returns from injury on Wednesday

Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is expected to play against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11 on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ calvary is coming.

The team’s first practice of the week on Wednesday, ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, featured three key returns: wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, defensive lineman Charles Omenihu and running back Isiah Pacheco.

“[Omenihu and Pacheco] will start working [Wednesday],” said head coach Andy Reid at his usual press conference, “and we’ll just gradually build them up as we go.”

Chiefs’ Leo Chenal named AFC’s special teams player of the week for Week 10

It’s the first weekly honor of Chenal’s NFL career.

The NFL has named Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal as its AFC special teams player of the week for Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season.

Chenal made 4 tackles during Sunday’s 16-14 victory over the Denver Broncos. But this award is about the play that kept it from being a 17-16 loss to the Broncos: Chenal’s block of Will Lutz’s 35-yard field goal attempt with one second left in the game.

“[The ball] was right below my palm,” Chenal told reporters after the game, eager to spread the credit...

Team declines to turn to Desmond Ridder after the bye

Desmond Ridder replaced Gardner Minshew the last time the Las Vegas Raiders played.

Yet, Minshew will remain the starter as the team returns from its bye week Sunday at the Miami Dolphins. Kickoff is at 10 a.m. PT.

It seemed logical that the Raiders would give Ridder a chance to start after the bye for the 2-7 Raiders. Minshew has been replaced three times this season and he leads the NFL in turnovers.

This seemed like the perfect time to give Ridder, who has started 17 games for the Atlanta...
