Chiefs Need a Wake-Up Call

At 11-1, the Chiefs aren’t in danger of missing the playoffs, but after a loss to the Buffalo Bills, they have had stretches of going through the motions against inferior opponents, flirting with disaster.

Last week, against the Carolina Panthers, Kansas City nearly squandered an 11-point fourth-quarter lead and needed a field goal to win as time expired on the clock.

In this contest,...

Kansas City’s head coach needs to see how his new tackle is feeling during this week’s practices.

Halfway through the fourth quarter of Friday’s 19-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, the Kansas City Chiefs did the same thing they had done with rookie left tackle Kingsley Suamataia late in the Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals: they put their starting left tackle on the bench.

In Week 2, second-year tackle Wanya Morris came in for the Suamataia — but when Morris went to the bench on Friday, veteran left guard Joe Thuney slid to the outside; reserve guard...

Chiefs’ defense has things to clean up after escaping Raiders

Kansas City’s defensive leaders acknowledged the flaws exposed against Las Vegas on Friday.

The Kansas City Chiefs entered the weekend with two victories in the last six days — the latest clinching a spot in the AFC playoffs. The 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday evening was tight, and the Chiefs’ defense was bailed out by a self-inflicted error by the Raiders’ center-quarterback exchange.

Linebacker Nick Bolton pounced to the fumble recovery, sealing the win — but he was aware of the plays that put them in such a stressful position. In his post-game press conference, Bolton...

The Kansas City Chiefs eked out a closer-than-expected victory against the struggling Las Vegas Raiders in a game that, while far from their best, highlighted a significant boost to their roster: the return of key players Charles Omenihu and Isiah Pacheco. Both made triumphant comebacks after lengthy recoveries from major injuries, a development that could prove pivotal as the Chiefs chase their third consecutive Super Bowl title.

Omenihu says he is back to make plays.

After a grueling nine-month recovery from an ACL tear, defensive lineman Charles...

When left tackle DJ Humphries walked out onto the field at Lincoln Financial Field last New Year's Eve, his mind was focused on finishing the season strong so that he could head into the offseason on a bright note as he prepared to get ready for what was supposed to be a lucrative contract season in 2024.

Fast forward to the locker room after the game, and Humphries was on crutches with a torn ACL. In his mind, he would always come back from this, but...
