2025 AFC Midseason Report Cards: Three Teams Ace the First Half, While Four Fail | SI
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs have endured a very abnormal season. They’re 5–4 and currently out of the playoffs. They also have terrific odds in every sportsbook to win the Super Bowl, despite being in third place in the AFC West.
Patrick Mahomes is a big reason to believe in Kansas City as an MVP frontrunner with 2,349 passing yards and 17 touchdowns, while Travis Kelce leads all tight ends with 540 receiving yards at...

According to a report from KPRC’s Aaron Wilson, the Pittsburgh Steelers have poached defensive tackle Brodric Martin from the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad.
This follows two practice squad moves Kansas City made on Tuesday. The team signed defensive end Malik Herring — who had been waived from the roster to make room for the signing of defensive tackle Mike Pennel — and created a spot for him on the practice squad by releasing wide receiver Jimmy Holiday.
The 26-year-old defensive tackle was a third-round draft pick for the Detroit Lions back in 2023, but after injuries limited him to...

On Sunday, not a lot went right for the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense during the team’s 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills had a rushing success rate of 47% — a mark that would rank among the league’s top three — and a passing success rate of 65%, which would (by far) be the best passing offense ever. Buffalo generated a first down on 45% of its passing attempts and 26% of its rushing attempts. Josh Allen had an 88% completion percentage, averaging an efficient 6.3 yards per attempt. While the running game generated just 4.0 yards per...

2025 NFL QB Power Rankings Week 10: Darnold Has Staying Power. Do Kyler and Tua? | FOX Sports
I have four quick takeaways from Mahomes’ performance against the Bills:
The first is fundamentally simple: The QB was bad and the defense was good. The Bills sniffed out what the Chiefs were planning to do, and they generated 20 pressures (?!?!) on 52.6% of his dropbacks. On the back end, the defensive backs played really good, smart coverage. Shoutout to Bills safety Cole Bishop.
Even with Mahomes’ numbers looking bad, it’s remarkable that...

The Kansas City Chiefs’ climb up the power rankings over the last month comes to a screeching halt heading into Week 10 and the team’s bye week. The 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9 was accounted for by all power rankings, leading to a drop for the Chiefs in every site’s newest list.
Here’s this week’s sampling:
(Down from 3)
Kansas City’s defense looked slow and reactive in Sunday’s 28-21 defeat at Buffalo, losing the line-of-scrimmage battle and leaving pass catchers running free too often. James Cook became the first running back to...

Winner: The Bills-Chiefs Rivalry
Sunday marked the 10th time we’ve seen Patrick Mahomes’s Chiefs take on Josh Allen’s Bills since 2020, and somehow the matchup still doesn’t feel stale. Whenever they meet up, it feels like the biggest game in football, and Sunday was no different. Their teams traded early blows before both defenses adjusted and tightened up in the second half. Every drive felt important. Every stop felt like a triumph. I’m all for parity and the league having a...
