Chiefs headlines for Tuesday, July 8
23. The 13-Second Drive (2022)
Bring up the ongoing AFC rivalry between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, and someone’s mind is bound to race right to the divisional playoffs shootout that headlined the 2021 season. Four lead changes in the final two minutes was wacky enough. Then Patrick Mahomes needed just two plays and 13 seconds after Josh Allen’s would-be game-winning touchdown pass to hand Buffalo its latest heartbreak.
Patrick Mahomes: I’ve talked to Tom Brady a good amount this offseason | NBC Sports
“And having Tom, a guy like that say that, just motivates me even more. I’ve actually talked to Tom a good amount this offseason. It’s cool that he wants to give me advice. He doesn’t have to be like that. He’s such a good dude. And I have so much respect for him, and I’ll take any advice he gives me.”
What is that advice?
“I’ve got to keep the secrets, you know?” Mahomes said, tongue in cheek. “But he always talks about being yourself. He thinks that — which I truly believe, too — is that guys can spot when you’re not authentic, and you’re not putting in the work. That’s something that he did every single day. That’s why guys respected him so much. And that’s all I’m going to do for the rest of my career, and I feel like I’ve done so far, is I’m always myself — no matter if you like me or don’t like me, you know I’m giving everything I can to win football games.”
So what is the “Rivalries” program? It likes the NFL’s Color Rush campaign from a few years ago, but with a twist. Over the next four seasons, one NFC division and one AFC division per year will get to debut a new “Rivalries” uniform. The four teams in the AFC East (Bills, Dolphins, Patriots, Jets) and the four teams in the NFC West (Rams, 49ers, Seahawks, Cardinals) will be the first teams to partake in the program, so they’ll all be getting a new “Rivalries” uniform for 2025. However, there’s no release date yet for these uniforms yet, so right now, it’s unclear if they’ll be coming out in July or at some point in August.
Here’s when each division will be getting their new “Rivalries” uniform:
2025: AFC East and NFC West
2026: AFC South and NFC North
2027: AFC West and NFC East
2028: AFC North and NFC South
