Sunday’s Week 6 action concluded with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Detroit Lions on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City moved to 3-3 on the season with a big 30-17 win — its third multi-score victory of the season.

Teams other than the Chiefs make mistakes, too

As the game began, the Lions sought to remind Kansas City fans — and the rest of the league — that even top teams with league-leading offenses can make bone-headed mistakes.

In its opening drive, Detroit had its way with the Chiefs’ defense, driving 60 yards on 14 plays. The...

With their backs to the wall, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Detroit Lions 30-17 during Week 6’s “Monday Night Football” on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, evening their 2025 record at 3-3 — and maybe even turning the corner on what has been a very disappointing season. In Week 5, the team wasted a solid offensive performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars with multiple mistakes and penalties that led to its third one-score loss of the season. Those disappeared on Sunday night, allowing the Chiefs to collect their third multi-score win of the year — this one against the league’s...

The (2-3) Kansas City Chiefs close out today’s NFL action by hosting the (4-1) Detroit Lions on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for the Week 6 edition of “Sunday Night Football.” The Lions — hobbled by the absence of starters like cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold and left tackle Taylor Decker, along with several reserve players — are bringing the league’s No. 1 scoring offense to Kansas City in search of their fifth consecutive win. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are anxious for a victory that would bring their record back to 0.500 — and their season back from the brink...

The Kansas City Chiefs have released their list of inactive players for Sunday night’s game against the Detroit Lions.

Left tackle Josh Simmons (personal) will not play. Neither will cornerback Kristian Fulton, tight end Jared Wiley, running back Elijah Mitchell and defensive end Malik Herring.

Offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad will be active for the first time this season.

All of Kansas City’s players ended the week as full participants in practice, so no players were given injury designations for Sunday’s game in Friday’s final injury report. But on Sunday afternoon, the team announced that Simmons had been added to the...

Detroit will face a Chiefs...

This week, the Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive lineman Chris Jones has caught some heat from both local and national media outlets for what many on social media perceived as a lack of effort on the deciding play of Monday’s 31-28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

On that play, Jaguars’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence tripped after taking the snap at the 1-yard line, then scrambled back to his feet and ran into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.

While many blasted Jones online for not pursuing Lawrence, some (including myself) thought that Jones believed the quarterback was already down; his teammates...
