Chiefs headlines for Tuesday, June 3
Historically, teams that go undefeated in one-score games tend to regress the following season. Those games often hinge on tiny margins not on a replicable formula. And McIntyre believes Kansas City exhausted every bit of that good fortune.
“In the final two games of last year, Travis Kelce looked lost,” McIntyre said. “Two catches for 19 yards against Buffalo. Then in the Super Bowl - four catches for 39 yards.”
This is a man with 1,810 career postseason receiving yards. For Kelce, those stats are a dramatic drop-off.

Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes & Co. aren’t likely to let that happen again. Plus, the Eagles could be in for a letdown since the stakes are low for them.
Result: Loss, 1-1

Kansas City Chiefs
Top Needs: Interior Defensive Line, Left Guard, Edge-Rusher
Most Important Position Battle to Watch: Left Tackle
Left tackle was a sore spot for the Chiefs until they bumped Joe Thuney outside down the stretch last year. Now, he has been traded and the team has questions at both left tackle and guard. The good news is Kansas City spent resources to ensure it had new options.
Not only did the Chiefs give Jaylon Moore a two-year, $30 million contract, but they also drafted Josh Simmons in the first round. Moore looked the part as a spot-starter for the Niners. The money says the Chiefs...
