Kansas City Chiefs
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.
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...

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.
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...

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.

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...

1. Chiefs
Current record: 5-4
Projected record: 12-5
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.
The Chiefs edged out the...

How is a Kansas City Chiefs fan supposed to feel, anyway?
FanDuel Sportsbook still lists the Chiefs as the Super Bowl favorite. Over the last six games, the offense has looked like its vintage self — and the defense appeared to be turning the corner.
But if the season ended today, Kansas City’s 5-4 record would keep it out of the playoffs. Sunday’s 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills has seen to that.
Did you watch the game? I wish I hadn’t.
My late friend Terez Paylor used to refer to such a matchup as “the regular season loss which...

In Sunday’s closely contested game, the Kansas City Chiefs registered a 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Facing heavy pressure and crafty containment looks, the Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes struggled to create momentum with his offense. Buffalo made sure to take away his best weapons — and took advantage of Kansas City’s tendencies, too.
Let’s take a look at this ugly outing.
The Bills hit Mahomes a whopping 15 times. They recorded three sacks and forced an interception. This was built on a combination of four-man pressure and a well-executed containment plan. Buffalo also took advantage...
