Chiefs’ 2025 Bye Week Awards: Who wins team MVP?

There are nine games in the books — with eight more to go. The Kansas City Chiefs are taking their bye week in Week 10, so it’s time to dish out some midseason awards.


QB – Patrick Mahomes

VOTING: QB Patrick Mahomes (10)

We’ll be fully transparent: most contributors had already cast their vote before Mahomes turned in what was arguably the most frustrating regular-season performance of his career in Week 9’s 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

That sour note heading into the bye, however, does not wipe away the streak Mahomes had been on after...

CB – Trent McDuffie

VOTING: CB Trent McDuffie (5), DE George Karlaftis (3), LB Nick Bolton (1), S Bryan Cook (1)

McDuffie is one of four Chiefs defenders who play virtually every snap for Kansas City’s defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. Along with Bolton, cornerback Jaylen Watson and safety Chamarri Conner, McDuffie has been a constant presence for a team that [ranks fourth in...

2 big Chiefs thoughts during their bye week

2 big Chiefs thoughts during their bye week

The Kansas City Chiefs’ bye week is an excellent time to take stock of where the team now stands. Here’s what I’ve been thinking this week.

  1. It was entirely predictable that the Chiefs wouldn’t make trades

It’s unfortunate. The NFL’s trade deadline happened right after the team’s 28-21 road loss to one of its fiercest AFC rivals: the Buffalo Bills. This — along with the team’s unexpected 5-4 record — amped up everyone’s expectations about what general manager Brett Veach needed to do. And to make things even worse, the team’s fans now have a whole extra week...

Chiefs face impossible decision with two superstar rookies tipped to command $220 million contracts | talkSPORT

When you consider that Rice could command something similar to Terry McLaurin’s three-year, $96 million extension, that adds up to nearly $220 million for the two young stars the Chiefs drafted, developed, and hope to retain.

And it would be worth it.

It can be argued that McDuffie is now the most important piece of Kansas City’s defense, surpassing the aging Jones. And Rice’s impact on the offense is undeniable.

VOTING: WR Xavier Worthy (3), WR Rashee Rice (3), TE Travis Kelce (2), C Creed Humphrey (1), LG Trey Smith (1)

Madden Bye Week Bonus: Steelers at Chargers on ‘Sunday Night Football’

First quarter

The Pittsburgh Steelers win the toss and immediately go three-and-out to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Following the punt, quarterback Justin Herbert comes out firing, connecting multiple times with Quentin Johnston to move across midfield and into Steelers territory. Pittsburgh’s run defense holds firm against running back Kimani Vidal, stopping him for a loss on both carries. However, the Steelers can’t contain the Chargers’ passing attack.

Tight end Will Dissly picks up a first down on a play that begins with him blocking. Later in the drive, he slips out to haul in a touchdown on a deep...

Kansas City’s quest to win its 10th straight division title may come down to what happens during its two games against a Denver team that is looking to take the throne. The Chiefs may not be the invincible force that they once were, but they’re still a supremely talented team, led by two-time league and three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes.
