Chiefs headlines for Monday, May 19
Appearing on ESPN earlier this week, Adam Schefter delivered a stark assessment of the challenges awaiting the Chiefs in 2025.
“This may just be the single toughest division and the most division challenges that Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have faced since he started as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback,” Schefter stated. “I see huge division challenges all across the board for the Chiefs, making it difficult for them to finish in the type of spot with as many wins as they normally do.”

There, Mahomes is a perfect 4-0 against Allen, which includes a 32-29 win against Buffalo in the 2024 AFC Championship.

NFL has shown no inclination to have a draft lottery | NBC Sports
Here’s the problem. Merely having a lottery legitimizes the reality that, at some point in a lost season, it’s good to be bad.
