It’s all coming together, isn’t it?

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense feels right again. The offensive line has coalesced. Among the wide receivers, Xavier Worthy is finding his groove. Hollywood Brown is carving out a role. Tyquan Thornton’s vertical ability has forced opposing defenses to respect Kansas City’s deep passing game for the first time in three years. And running back Isiah Pacheco appears to be rounding into form.

All of these players have been crucial to the offense’s success. But let’s not overlook an old reliable who is returning to form.

Has anyone else noticed Travis Kelce looks awfully...

BIGGEST NEED: Pass rush

The Chiefs were able to make the big plays in a massive home win against an explosive Lions offense, but the pass rush still needs aid. K.C. feasted late after Detroit got down by double-digits, but when asked to rush with just four early in the game, the Chiefs gave Jared Goff too much time. Help is required for Chris Jones and George Karlaftis.

It began, innocently enough, with a real estate transaction.

On a misty Thursday morning in early March, world-famous singer Taylor Swift closed on a neo-Gothic mansion on the outskirts of Leawood, Kansas. A sprawling estate with ivy-choked stone walls, secret passageways and a wine cellar that doubled as a panic room, the mansion had once belonged to a 19th-century railroad magnate who was rumored to have dabbled in arcane arts — and had definitely funded the original Kansas City Stockyards.

What no one knew — not even Swift herself — was that the property sat...

Entering Week 6, oddsmakers had an established hierarchy of candidates for the Associated Press Most Valuable Player award.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Buffalo Bills’ quarterback Josh Allen was the favorite with odds as low as +140. Behind him, the sportsbooks have typically listed Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ quarterback Baker Mayfield — who helped his case with an impressive 30-19 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon.

Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes quietly held the third-lowest odds leading into the team’s 30-17 win over the Detroit Lions on “Sunday Night Football*.*“ His 289 total yards (and four touchdowns)...

Things looked bad after the Kansas City Chiefs’ 31-28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. But after the team’s 30-17 victory over the Detroit Lions on “Sunday Night Football,” the outlook is improving. Every one of the power rankings we’re tracking has moved Kansas City up in their Week 7 lists.

Fair warning: a couple of them may have gone a little bit overboard.

Lions’ Brian Branch suspended 1 game after melee with Chiefs | ESPN

The NFL on Monday suspended Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch for one game without pay for unsportsmanlike conduct after he struck Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and set off a brief fight Sunday night.

“Your aggressive, non-football act was entirely unwarranted, posed a serious risk of injury, and clearly violated the standards of conduct and sportsmanship expected of NFL players,” NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan wrote in a letter to Branch. “Your conduct reflected poorly on the...

Per Monday’s NFL transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs waived wide receiver Jason Brownlee on Monday.

Brownlee, who entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the New York Jets in 2023, signed with the Chiefs’ practice squad in January. He impressed in this year’s training camp and caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the preseason opener. With a suspension for Chiefs wideout Rashee Rice looming, Brownlee made the team’s initial roster.

Brownlee was active for five of the Chiefs’ first six games. He did not record a reception, but he did exceed 20% of the...

Coming off an ugly loss in Jacksonville, the Kansas City Chiefs needed this one. They recorded a comfortable 30-17 win over the Detroit Lions — one of the best teams in the league — and got back to 0.500 on the season.

The offense looked competent and surgical — and this week, they’ll get one of their best players back. The defense held Detroit to under 100 yards rushing and 200 yards passing. They got big stops to end drives and avoided costly mistakes.

It’s not easy to find fault with the Chiefs’ performance in this game, so I hope...

The Kansas City Chiefs now hold a 3-3 record after their 30–17 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday night. Kansas City delivered one of its cleanest performances of the season. The team avoided penalties, spread the ball around and showcased the kind of depth that once again makes it look like a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

After committing 13 penalties during their 31-28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5, the Chiefs responded with a far more disciplined effort, finishing the game without a single accepted penalty. Head coach Andy Reid credited the preparation by his staff —...

Following a defensive meltdown in Week 5’s 31-28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, few gave the Kansas City Chiefs’ defenders much of a chance against the Detroit Lions’ dangerous offense in Week 6. But while the effort wasn’t always pretty, the defense played a major role in the Chiefs’ 30-17 victory on “Sunday Night Football.”

“It feels great,” Kansas City linebacker Nick Bolton said of the two-score win. “Obviously, I thought we could have played the run a little bit better — especially in the first half. I think they averaged somewhere close to five yards per carry. So as...

I said last week that I thought the Kansas City Chiefs actually matched up better with the Detroit Lions than they did with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The longer this game went on, the more evident that became. As accurate and proficient a passer as Lions quarterback Jared Goff is, he isn’t very mobile — and when the Chiefs put pressure on him, he was mostly unable to evade the rush. That played a major role in Kansas City shutting down Detroit in the second half.

*In addition, the Chiefs largely played mistake-free football. The offense moved methodically up and down...
