For the third straight year, I’m considering the 10 biggest questions I have about the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025.

It’s pretty easy to compare the Chiefs’ 2020 and 2024 seasons.

In both years, Kansas City was coming off a Super Bowl victory. Both squads won a lot of regular-season games on the way back to the Super Bowl, where they were both blown out — in large part because their offensive lines played poorly.

So in 2021, the Chiefs brought back most of the team except for the offensive line, where they began the season with five new starters....

When Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke with the media before Monday afternoon’s practice, he noted that as the team prepares for Friday’s preseason finale against the Chicago Bears on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, it would be following a familiar routine on the practice field — and in the media room.

“This will be very similar to an in-season Wednesday practice,” he told reporters. “Now that we’re back here, it gives you guys kind of a dry run to see how the meeting schedule goes before an in-season game — and also how practice goes.”

But in...

101. George Karlaftis, EDGE, Kansas City Chiefs

When most people talk about the Kansas City Chiefs’ pass rush, they start and end with Chris Jones, and that’s justified to a degree, as Jones in on a future Hall of Fame pace. But in doing so, they’re short-changing George Karlaftis, who has become one of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s most important pieces over the last two seasons.

The 30th overall pick in the 2022 draft has been quite consistent throughout...

After two preseason games, the early returns on the Kansas City Chiefs’ first-round draft pick Josh Simmons are good. In the limited snaps he’s received, the rookie left tackle has held his own.

Speaking with the media on Monday, Simmons said he has welcomed the challenge.

“I think it’s great for a rookie,” he noted, “because you don’t know what the speed of the NFL is like. [And] the preseason is still different from Week 1, so if I could just take the little baby nuggets that I’m getting in the preseason and work on [them] for Week 1, I’ll...

To our incredible community at Arrowhead Pride,

It is my final week at the website, and all I can say is thank you.

When Joel Thorman recruited me to work under him in 2017 and later take over in 2018, I knew it was the opportunity of a lifetime. Before our conversation, I had been working at the Mothership, admiring what he and Chris had built from afar — I loved AP’s interface, the crafty way Joel would relay Chiefs news and the passion of the readership that would lead to dozens and dozens of comments on every post.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid opened the final week of the preseason with a Monday media session at the team’s training facility on the grounds of the Truman Sports Complex. The first order of business was a long list of injured players.

Reid said that three players previously announced as injured after Friday night’s 33-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks — cornerback Nazeeh Johnson (shoulder strain), linebacker Jack Cochrane (knee bone bruise) and safety Mike Edwards (hamstring strain) — were all going to miss Monday afternoon’s practice session. One more of Friday’s injured players — defensive end Felix...

Who can beat the Chiefs? Is it finally time for Bills, Ravens or Bengals to end Patrick Mahomes’ AFC reign? | CBS Sports

One of the greatest testaments to Michael Jordan’s greatness, even perhaps in line with his sterling 6-0 NBA Finals record, is the players he prevented from winning rings. John Stockton and Karl Malone in Utah. Charles Barkley in Philadelphia and Phoenix. Patrick Ewing in New York. Reggie Miller in Indianapolis. All Hall of Famers, all turned away.

Patrick Mahomes has not ascended to that level, but with five AFC titles and...
