In a series of articles published over the summer, I covered the 10 biggest questions facing the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025. We’ve already revisited five of them. Now we’ll look at the rest.

6. What are the ceilings (and floor) at left tackle?

Before the season, the Chiefs had two options at left tackle: Josh Simmons and Jaylon Moore. The floor and ceiling of each player was in question.

Simmons had a much wider range of outcomes: he had the physical tools to become an All-Pro tackle, but he was coming off a major knee injury that made...

Coming off their bye week, the Kansas City Chiefs are headed west for a Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos. With eight regular-season games remaining, Kansas City finds itself in unfamiliar territory.

After winning nine consecutive AFC West titles, the 5-4 Chiefs are in third place behind the 8-2 Broncos and the 7-3 Los Angeles Chargers.

That’s exactly where head coach Andy Reid doesn’t want to be.

“The first goal we have that Coach Reid puts up is winning the division,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes reminded reporters before Wednesday’s practice. “We understand that it’s always a challenge. You have to...

Super Bowl odds: Here come the Los Angeles Rams! | The Athletic

Before this NFL season started, sportsbooks gave the Los Angeles Rams a roughly 4 percent chance to win the Super Bowl, tied for 10th place on the betting board with their L.A. rivals, the Chargers.

Now they’re in second behind only the perennial odds darlings, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Rams have ridden a 7-2 record to +700 odds, which implies an over 12 percent chance of winning it all. The Chiefs are now at +550, which is a little over 15...

According to the daily NFL Transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs signed wide receiver Jimmy Holiday to the practice squad, reintroducing him to the organization after he was released a week ago. Holiday spent the offseason with the Chiefs before shifting to the practice squad at the preseason’s conclusion. He remained on the reserve team until this weeklong back and forth.

Holiday was originally signed by Kansas City after standing out as a tryout at rookie minicamp. He was an undrafted free agent in the 2025 NFL Draft class after five collegiate seasons at three different schools. He was initially...

It’s officially been one month since rookie left tackle Josh Simmons took a break from football to deal with a personal matter, and although he is back in Kansas City practicing with the team, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is still declining to say whether Simmons will be back in his starting job this Sunday against the Denver Broncos.

“Yeah, we’ll just see,” Reid told reporters before Wednesday’s practice. “I haven’t even got him out for a practice yet, so let’s see how he’ll jump in and see what he can do and mix it up out there...

Each practice day of the season, the Kansas City Chiefs release an official injury report leading up to the next game. In the NFL’s Week 11, the Chiefs face the Denver Broncos on Empower Field at Mile High. Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m. Arrowhead Time on Sunday.

Here is the Chiefs’ first official injury report of the week:

Some notes

• For the Chiefs, the only surprising note is the presence of defensive end George Karlaftis (thumb), who was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice.
• As head coach Andy Reid implied on Monday,...

Have you taken a look at the AFC playoff race lately? Am I seeing this right?

If the season ended today, the Kansas City Chiefs wouldn’t make the playoffs — and the Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots would have the top three seeds.

How is this possible? Am I the only one who can’t believe this?

Before the season began, oddsmakers like FanDuel Sportsbook set the Colts’ win total at 7.5. The Patriots were at 8.5. The Broncos were the “leading contender” of the bunch at 9.5. That was tied with the Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans and...

Welcome back to the Arrowhead Pride Mailbag! Each week, watch for your opportunity to submit your Kansas City Chiefs questions in The Feed, which is found on AP’s home page.

The Chiefs could not get the job done in Week 9’s 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills. After a week to stew over the loss, let’s see what is on our readers’ minds ahead of an important AFC West showdown with the Denver Broncos.

Chiefs’ midseason report card

Projected record through Week 10: 7-2

Kansas City’s actual record: 5-4

Games correct: 5 of 9

I was right about … the Chiefs losing their fifth straight regular-season game to the Bills.

I was wrong about … Week 4 vs. the Ravens. In hindsight, probably a bit overzealous of me to underestimate the reigning AFC champs at home. Even if Lamar Jackson hadn’t exited early with a...

In a series of articles published over the summer, I covered the 10 biggest questions facing the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025. During the bye week, I revisited the questions. We’ll look at the other five in a later article.

1. How well will Jaden Hicks replace Justin Reid?

Before the season, it felt like second-year safety Jaden Hicks was a natural replacement for veteran former Chiefs’ safety Justin Reid. Both are long, dense safeties who are best at playing in the box and helping in run support. However, I underestimated the coverage gap between Reid and Hicks. Reid...

Since the Kansas City Chiefs have been on their bye week, I decided to compare our weekly Madden simulations to the real-life 2025 Chiefs to see how they stack up against each other.

As you can see, Madden correctly predicted the winner in six of the nine games. Among the eight Arrowhead Pride contributors who have made predictions this season, no one has picked the winner more often. I also calculated the points of error* for each one of the Madden picks — just like we do for our weekly predictions. Madden has averaged 27.8 points of error, which is...

The Kansas City Chiefs head into Week 11 rested from a bye week. While sitting at home, the rest of the NFL battled for playoff positioning, impressing the authors of power rankings enough to push the Chiefs down the gathered lists slightly. Only one site moved the Chiefs up from Week 10 to Week 11.

Here’s this week’s sampling:

(Down from 6)

Kansas City had a pretty quiet bye week, sitting out the trade deadline and hoping for some missing pieces to return in the weeks to come. The run game remains limited in some respects,...
