17 – Kansas City Chiefs
Strength of schedule: .500
Remaining SOS: .546 (8)
Week 11 opponent: at Broncos
Biggest needs: TE, CB, RB, DL, WR
The Chiefs have not drafted a tight end in the first three rounds since selecting Travis Kelce in 2013, but it might be wise for the team to invest in a young difference-maker at the position in 2026. Kelce, a future Hall of Famer, is in a contract year at 36 years old and Noah Gray, signed through 2027, is a solid backup.
Andy Reid on Chris Jones’ production: ‘We all need to do better’ | Chiefs Wire
During a media availability session on Monday, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was asked if Jones needed to take his game to another level after Kansas City’s bye week.
Reid made a point to keep from throwing his veteran sackmaster under the bus, and emphasized that his whole team has room for improvement.
“I think we all need to do better,” Reid said, “I would say that. Chris (Jones) is always striving to do better every day. That’s what has made him (Chris Jones) such a good player. Again, he’s the guy that they’re going to focus on and if you’re getting a double team, that’s who’s getting doubled. He’ll get his as we go forward, it’s just important that he stays consistent and keeps working hard.”
Ex-Chiefs safety’s slide continues after Steelers made a telling decision | Arrowhead Addict
Thornhill signed a one-year free-agent deal with Pittsburgh last March to bolster the secondary and provide championship experience for Teryl Austin’s defense. The entire unit has disappointed through the first 9 games for the 5-4 Steelers, and now they’ve singled out Thornhill in the hopes of improving the unit. It also sends a warning shot to other lackluster performers.
The Steelers are filling Thornhill’s spot with the signing of safety Sebastian Castro on waivers following his release from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As for where Thornhill goes, that’s anybody’s guess.
Teams already familiar to Thornhill are the Kansas City Chiefs, who drafted him in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and the Cleveland Browns, who gave him life-changing money in the form of a three-year deal worth up to $21 million in 2023.
