Chiefs headlines for Tuesday, May 27
8. Kansas City Chiefs (AFC West)
2024 record: 15-2 | Division title streak: 9 seasons
All three of their rivals should theoretically be better: the Denver Broncos have a promising gunslinger in Bo Nix, the Los Angeles Chargers are physical under Jim Harbaugh and the Las Vegas Raiders now have Pete Carroll and Geno Smith running the show. Are any of those clubs ready to unseat a Chiefs team that’s been to five of the last six Super Bowls? Yes, Kansas City was steamrolled in its last big game, but Patrick Mahomes’ weaponry should be healthier and sprier this time around. It’s just hard to bet against a dynasty.

“Yeah, so I’m kind of out on just the whole America’s Team deal; I don’t give a…about that (talk),” said Kelce, “I want to be in Kansas City. I want to be the Chiefs. That’s all I want to be. I’m gonna be the big bad Chiefs. Come join if you want. But America’s team? The Boys can have that if they want it.”
The Cowboys and Chiefs will headline a Thanksgiving battle this year, while Kansas City will host a Christmas evening game. Kansas City will play seven prime-time games in 2025, the most of any team in the league.
The Kelce brothers showed a clip of a Cowboys fan changing allegiances to the Chiefs with an extensive back tattoo cover-up of the former’s logo.
“We’ll treat you right over in Chiefs Kingdom,” said Kelce. “We’ll make it so you will never have to cover up that Chiefs logo, dude.”
During his rookie season, Morris did an admirable job filling in for the injured Donovan Smith at left tackle. He wasn’t great, but he wasn’t a disaster. Things were different in Year 2. After Kingsley Suamataia got the first crack at the starting job on Patrick Mahomes’ blind side, Morris stepped in and played quite poorly. So poorly, that Patrick Mahomes got frustrated enough to actually show his displeasure on the field. The Chiefs signed D.J. Humphries off the street and, when he got injured, they kicked All-Pro guard Joe Thuney to the outside rather than turn back to Suamataia or Morris, who allowed 35 pressures and 5 sacks. He probably won’t get a chance to redeem himself in 2025 after the team signed Jaylon Moore and drafted Josh Simmons.
