The Chargers reinforced their pass rush with a versatile chess piece in Jalon Walker, who can also play off the ball.
Prior to the 2024 season, the Chargers managed to retain both Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa who each chose to take a pay cut to stat together under first-year defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. The decision has firmly paid off as both have played roles in helping the Chargers to the number one scoring defense in the NFL.
Obviously Bosa hasn’t played nearly as much as Mack due to lingering injuries, but he’s nonetheless been an impact player when healthy...

Let’s see what AP staffers (and readers) think about Sunday’s game between Kansas City and Denver.
Before the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 9 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, our panel of Arrowhead Pride contributors combined to predict a 31-17 Kansas City victory, which was 16 points removed from the 30-24 final: it missed the point spread by 8, the Chieiefs’ score by 1 and the Buccaneers’ score by 7.
Only one of our staffers thought the game would be close; about two-thirds thought the Chiefs would win easily. Our readers were a little closer to the mark. [*About a...

Fans who have witnessed the “long drive” drills in St Joseph now understand the importance.
The Kansas City Chiefs come off of two of their best offensive performances of the season as they prepare to welcome the Denver Broncos to Arrowhead on Sunday. A major part of that success is outstanding play on third downs.
Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Monday night’s overtime victory, the Chiefs converted two-thirds of their third-down opportunities (12 of 18), including all four touchdowns scored. Speaking before Wednesday’s practice, quarterback Patrick Mahomes credited Kansas City’s efficient run game for setting up advantageous situations on...

On “Monday Night Football,” Kansas City’s offense was lethal on third down — especially in the red zone.
In Week 9, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-24 on “Monday Night Football” on GEHA Field Arrowhead Stadium.
While it was a narrow overtime victory, Kansas City’s offensive domination on third down drove the win. The team converted 12 of 18 third-down attempts, in which quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 11 for 13 with three touchdown passes.
In the game’s most critical downs, the Chiefs flexed their new offensive muscles.

The Denver Broncos stood pat for two straight seasons at the NFL Trade Deadline, and there’s a good reason for it — Sean Payton is looking to build the Broncos roster and the foundation of a team he believes can compete.
The NFL Trade Deadline was a hot topic surrounding the Denver Broncos over the course of the last two weeks, and with the deadline passing this past Tuesday, Denver stood pat for the second year in a row. Broncos head coach Sean Payton had every reason...

Does Boise State tailback tempt you?
Of course, the vast majority of the 2025 draft talk for the Las Vegas Raiders revolves around the quarterback position and for good reason.
It is clear the Raiders’ most-pressing need in the draft next year will be at the most important position on the field. The Raiders have a glaring hole at quarterback for now and in the future and they will spend their third straight offseason looking to fill the void.
There is little doubt the Raiders will seriously consider taking a quarterback early in the draft next spring.
But the reality...

As the 2024 season carries along, Jaden Hicks continues to show that he deserves more playing time.
Coming into the season, one of my biggest questions for the Kansas City Chiefs was how they would deploy their safeties. By the end of last year, Bryan Cook was out with an ankle injury, which allowed Chamarri Conner to play well to finish the season, but we hadn’t seen the tandem of Cook, Conner and Justin Reid get many snaps together.
On top of that, the Chiefs drafted safety Jaden Hicks in the fourth round. In my opinion, Hicks was the best...

The Denver Broncos were utterly dismantled by the Baltimore Ravens, falling 41-10, and because of that, when Pro Football Focus (PFF) released their grades for Week 9, it was no surprise that few players earned high marks.

A silver lining in Cincinnati
It hasn’t been a great season for the Las Vegas Raiders who lost their fifth straight game Sunday at the Cincinnati Bengals in a 41-24 defeat in Week 9 on Sunday.
Yet, there was a sliver of hope for the Raiders to build upon as they return from their bye week in Week 11 at the Miami Dolphins on November 17.
