Kansas City Chiefs
A new ranking says Kansas City will be fielding one of the league’s top groups this season.
On Friday, FOX Sports’ Ben Arthur ranked the NFL’s top 10 passing trios. This was obviously done to create a story, cashing in on the buzz about the Dallas Cowboys’ trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver George Pickens, whom Arthur now ranks fourth with quarterback Dak Prescott and wideout CeeDee Lamb. While the Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins top his list, there’s a Kansas City Chiefs trio, too.

Baltimore Ravens Named Biggest Threat to Kansas Chiefs’ AFC Crown | SI
As such, the question everyone has been asking is who will, or even who can, knock the Chiefs off their throne.
The crew of NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” debated that topic once again recently, with two analysts landing on the Baltimore Ravens.

Breaking down how the rookie may contribute.
The Kansas City Chiefs selected Oregon linebacker Jeff Bassa in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. A four-year starter for the Ducks, Bassa was an All-Pac 12 performer as the weak-side linebacker.
The Chiefs have their three starting linebackers slotted, but Bassa will have a chance to come in as a rookie and provide quality depth while also contributing on special teams.
Bassa entered Oregon as a safety but quickly became a linebacker during his freshman season. He would play this position for the next four seasons and was...

Let’s talk about Kansas City’s barbecue reputation

Kansas City should be much better at receiver in 2025, with Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown now healthy and Xavier Worthy entering his second season. And assuming his medical issues are behind him, first-round pick Josh Simmons offers strong competition for starting offensive tackles Jaylon Moore and Jawaan Taylor.

An in-depth look at Kansas City’s seventh-round pick.
With the 228th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs selected SMU running back Brashard Smith.
What can Smith bring to the Chiefs? Here’s what you need to know:
