Teammates like what they see in Chiefs’ new wideout Tyquan Thornton

Kansas City’s newest wideout played with JuJu Smith-Schuster in New England.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ new practice squad wide receiver Tyquan Thornton might be a player that general manager Brett Veach could have taken in the NFL Draft.

In 2022, the Chiefs held the 18th pick of the second round — the 50th overall selection. As it approached, Veach made a deal with the New England Patriots, giving up the pick to get the 22nd pick of the round (54th overall) and the 15th pick of the fifth round (158th overall).

Veach used the 54th selection to acquire Western Michigan...

Patrick Mahomes on improving the offense after the Chiefs’ first loss

Patrick Mahomes on improving the offense after the Chiefs’ first loss

After reviewing the loss to Buffalo, Kansas City’s signal caller knows what’s needed to make things work.

By the time the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes stepped to the podium for Wednesday’s press conference, it had been three days since his team’s 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

By then, he had learned a lot from Sunday’s disappointing result. He noted a throw to rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy — and another to tight end Travis Kelce that maybe should have gone to tight end Noah Gray.

“There are a couple plays here and there that kind of changed...

Broncos vs Raiders Week 12: Keys to the game

Broncos vs Raiders Week 12: Keys to the game

How the Denver Broncos can complete the season sweep of the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

The Denver Broncos have yet to beat the Raiders in Vegas, then again, up until Week 5 the Broncos had yet to beat the Las Vegas Raiders at all since 2019.

Denver finally snapped their eight-game losing streak against Vegas in emphatic fashion earlier this year when they whooped them by 16 points, including that iconic pick-6 by Pat Surtain II that totally changed the momentum of that game and sent the Raiders on a six-game losing streak.

Here’s how the Broncos can keep...

Drue Tranquill realizes the importance of defensive execution

The veteran linebacker cited a few little things that would have made a big difference in the result against the Bills.

As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to rebound from their first loss, linebacker Drue Tranquill emphasized the importance of defensive execution — especially on third downs — when facing a steadily improving Carolina Panthers team this Sunday.

Reflecting on last week’s performance against the Bills, Tranquill identified missed opportunities that could have turned the tide in their favor.

“You look at that first drive, there’s two third downs where we played good first, second down defense,” said Tranquill, focusing...

After Further Review: Denver Broncos vs Atlanta Falcons

Breaking down the excellent officiating and stingy spotting from the week 11 matchup between the Denver Broncos and the Atlanta Falcons

In the Denver Broncos 38-6 demolition of the Atlanta Falcons, there were 10 accepted penalties and two reviews. These numbers show average official involvement, but the result from the field was more impressive. Here were some notable calls from the officials.

Personal Foul on Garett Bolles

Garett Bolles had a rare personal foul called on him for unnecessary roughness. In this case, I am fairly confident that the judgment of umpire Tab Slaughter was that Bolles threw his...

Silver Minings: QB in redraft

ESPN has Raiders trading up

The Las Vegas Raiders needed a quarterback prior to the April draft and they will need one in next year’s draft.

So, when ESPN recently conducted a redraft of the 2024 draft, it’s no surprise it had the Raiders doing what they didn’t do in the real draft — ESPN traded up to take a quarterback.

The exercise had the Raiders trading up from No. 13 to No. 8 to select Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr . at No. 8 in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta, of course, took Penix at No. 8...

Previewing the Chiefs vs. Panthers

The NFL schedule can be funny sometimes.

Following their first loss of the season, the Kansas City Chiefs travel to take on the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The matchup is intriguing in the sense that these are two franchises heading in very different directions, but their most recent results...

Chiefs see Xavier Worthy’s strong performance as a ‘jump-off point’

On Monday, Kansas City’s head coach and players reacted to how the rookie played — and what more could be in store.

If a positive can be taken from the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 11 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, it would be major signs of growth from rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy.

After a difficult stretch of games in his first season, Kansas City’s first-round selection caught four passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. The wideout’s big game — and anticipation of even more improvement — was a frequent topic in the Chiefs’ media comments on Wednesday...

Chargers Daily Links: Justin Herbert vaults back in top 5 of QB power rankings

Your source for all Chargers and NFL news from around the web.

Good morning, Chargers fans!

After another strong performance by Justin Herbert where he threw for multiple touchdowns and zero interceptions, Los Angeles’ QB1 has vaulted himself back into the top five of CBS Sports’ quarterback power rankings.

“The Chargers are quietly contenders thanks largely to Jim Harbaugh’s more grounded attack, but Herbert is rediscovering elite form in the process, showcasing his laser arm while controlling the ball,” says analyst Cody Benjamin. “He’s now up to 13 touchdowns and just one pick, fresh off a tight prime-time win.”...
