Chiefs’ coming move to Kansas a “shock to the system” for Missouri politicians | NBC Sports

“No matter how long we had to . . . think about this as a possibility, it’s still a shock to the system,” Missouri House Speaker Jonathan Patterson told the Kansas City Star.

It shouldn’t have been. It was, as it usually is, about money. Jackson County, Missouri, voters overwhelmingly rejected in April 2024 the potential extension of an existing sales tax to fund a renovation at Arrowhead Stadium, along with a new park for the Kansas City...

The Broncos already beat Kansas City earlier this season,...

On Christmas evening, the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos in the second-to-last game of the 2025 season.

Here are three questions to consider during the contest:

1. Can the Chiefs show any spirit in this game?

Coming into the game against the Tennessee Titans, it felt safe to assume that if the Chiefs showed high levels of effort, victory would come against a hapless Titans team that has been one of the worst teams in the NFL all year, even without quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Instead, Kansas City got blown out by 17 points.

While Tennessee deserves...

Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season will begin on Christmas Day — and the latest of Thursday’s three games will match up the (6-9) Kansas City Chiefs and the (12-3) Denver Broncos on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

A rough 2025 season only got worse for the Kansas City Chiefs in a 26-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Ahead of a Christmas Day game that will feature the team’s third starting quarterback this year, the collection of power rankings did not pull any punches.

The Chiefs’ season was already slipping away before Patrick Mahomes’ torn ACL, but watching them struggle mightily against the Titans after Gardner Minshew suffered his own knee injury was quite revealing. There was a time when the mighty Chiefs could have absorbed losing...

In an edition of the Arrowhead Pride Premier newsletter from June of 2024 — when politicians on both sides of the state line were trying to convince the Kansas City Chiefs to accept each state’s vision for the team’s facilities — I wrote an explainer on the proposals being put forth by Jackson County, Missouri and Kansas. Now that the Chiefs have accepted the Kansas offer to build a new stadium in Wyandotte County — and a new team facility in Olathe — we thought it might be useful to revisit it.

**The two states are taking radically...

The Kansas City Chiefs are limping to the finish line of the 2025 season. Week 15 — when quarterback Patrick Mahomes was injured and the postseason slipped away — felt like rock bottom. Sunday’s 26–9 loss to the Tennessee Titans somehow sank lower, and the Christmas Day matchup with the Denver Broncos threatens to set a new low.

Here are the winners and losers from a forgettable afternoon in Tennessee.

Chiefs loss shows how much Patrick Mahomes was carrying team

Overreaction vs. reality: Reality

The Kansas City Chiefs had another quarterback go down on Sunday, with Gardner Minshew leaving due to a knee injury, so the organization was truly playing with both arms tied behind its back offensively. That said, when watching them fall to the Tennessee Titans, it exposed how much Patrick Mahomes was propping this roster up. With the face of the franchise...

On Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas governor Laura Kelly announced plans to build a new stadium for the team — along with a new headquarters and training facility — at two locations in Kansas.

The $3 billion stadium will be built in Wyandotte County — reportedly just west of Kansas Speedway — while the team’s headquarters will be located in Olathe. Both sites will be part of mixed-use developments that include entertainment, dining, shopping, office, hotel and residential components.

In Week 16, the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Tennessee Titans by a score of 26-9. It was the ninth loss of the season in a game that had no consequences, as both teams were already eliminated from playoff contention.
