Chiefs headlines for Monday, May 12
2. Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills
This is the best rivalry in the NFL right now and it isn’t close. Josh Allen is the only quarterback that has beaten Patrick Mahomes four times in the regular season, sporting a 4-1 record against him. In the playoffs, Allen and the Bills have failed to beat the Chiefs — going 0-3 against them. The Chiefs and Bills seem to meet every year since they typically win their division, meaning we’re treated to another Mahomes-Allen showdown. This is a rematch of the thrilling AFC Championship game from last season, and the Chiefs and Bills are likely to deliver another classic.
1. Philadelphia Eagles at Kansas City Chiefs
The Eagles and Chiefs have met twice in the Super Bowl over the past three seasons, the NFL’s current iteration of historic Super Bowl rivalries. Kansas City beat Philadelphia on a field goal in the final seconds of Super Bowl LVII while the Eagles blew out the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX last year. The Eagles and Chiefs have squared off in epic battles before, as the rivalry intensifies with a revenge game in Arrowhead Stadium. Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes is a matchup within itself, as the Eagles and Chiefs have a history between their front office and head coach. This is the can’t-miss regular season showdown in 2025.
Former All-Pro says the Chargers will win the AFC West over the Chiefs | Chiefs Wire
Former All-Pro linebacker Shawne Merriman recently appeared as a guest on the ‘Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams’ to share his thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs not repeating as AFC West champions this season.
“I’m not just saying it because I’m a Charger. I think they’re going to win the division this year. I really feel that way. I don’t want to take anything away from Patrick Mahomes,” said Merriman. They (Chiefs) always (have) a great team and a helluva coach in Andy Reid. But truthfully, where the Chargers at, the jump that they made. Remember, before the season started last year, nobody saw the Chargers even being a playoff team.”
Merriman began playing with the Chargers in San Diego from 2005 to 2010. He earned All-Pro, Pro Bowl, and Defensive Rookie of the Year honors during that time.
