NFL power rankings: Preseason starts with challengers eyeing Eagles | USA Today
3. Kansas City Chiefs (4): With G Trey Smith and DE George Karlaftis extended, the only piece of semi-pressing team business remaining is a new deal for All-Pro CB Trent McDuffie − and that may have to wait. Resolution on WR Rashee Rice’s post-legal status would also be nice, but even having him back for some portion of this season is a win over his injury-aborted 2024 campaign. K.C.’s biggest issue, the O-line notwithstanding, could be a quickly narrowing gap with their AFC West competitors
The Chiefs will lose in the AFC Championship Game
I fully expect the Chiefs to win their 10th consecutive division title and end up with one of the top seeds in the AFC playoff bracket. But as I’ve said this offseason, the Baltimore Ravens are the team I believe will be representing the AFC in Super Bowl 60.

Five Observations from Wednesday’s Practice | Chiefs Training Camp 7/30 | The Mothership
1. The Chiefs competed in a lighter, “10-10-10” practice on Wednesday.
The Chiefs took the field for a lighter, “10-10-10” practice on Wednesday following the three-straight padded practices that took place between Sunday and Tuesday.
A “10-10-10” session, which is not padded, consists of what is essentially a circuit of 10 offensive plays, 10 defensive plays and 10 special teams plays. Each segment is of the 11-on-11 variety, but unlike a standard period, the idea is to demonstrate what success looks like for the three respective phases. During the “offensive period,” for example,” the first-team offense competes against the second or third-team defense in an effort to skew the results toward the offense.
The opposing unit is still encouraged to make plays, but if the concept plays out properly, each segment of the team will experience what success looks like within the given scheme.
The Chiefs completed nearly three full circuits of the “10-10-10” format on Wednesday with three offensive periods, three defensive periods and two special teams segments.
32. Josh Simmons, OT, Kansas City Chiefs
Had he not injured his knee last year, Simmons might have been a top-10 pick. When he’s right, his combination of foot speed and functional length makes him a terror to rush against off the edge. Not only is Simmons good enough to start right away, but also he has All-Rookie potential if he’s 100 percent.
