They say you only get one chance to make your dreams come true. But that isn’t always true. Sometimes you get a second chance — or even a third. It’s just that you never know how many opportunities you’re going to get — so each one must be treated as if it’s your last.

That’s a lesson that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton has learned all too well.

Coming out of Baylor in 2022, his draft stock shot through the roof when he recorded an official 4.28 time for the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. (Unofficially,...

The Game

For the NFL’s Week 2, the Kansas City Chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is set for Sunday at 3:25 p.m. Arrowhead Time. The game will be carried on all FOX stations nationwide — locally on WDAF/4.

The two teams last met in Super Bowl LIX last February, when the Eagles humiliated the Chiefs 40-22. Two years before, Kansas City beat Philadelphia 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII. The teams have split the two regular-season matchups featuring Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts as the starting quarterbacks.

In Week 1, the Chiefs [collected...

According to Saturday’s NFL transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs have elevated cornerback Kevin Knowles from their practice squad for Sunday’s contest against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Knowles joined the Chiefs in April as an undrafted free agent out of Florida State. He played in all three of Kansas City’s preseason games. Presumably, any action Knowles sees on Sunday would come on special teams. You may remember that he blocked an extra point attempt by former Kansas City placekicker Cairo Santos late in the team’s third exhibition contest against the Chicago Bears.

Although he was waived at the roster cut deadline...

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The game will kick off at 3:25 Arrowhead time, pitting the last two Super Bowl champions against each other. The Chiefs are coming off a close 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, while the Eagles won the NFL’s opening game against the Dallas Cowboys 24-20.

It is only Week 2, but this game already feels like a must-win for the Chiefs, so they can avoid falling into a 0-2 hole.

Here are five things to watch in Sunday’s matchup.

1. **The Chiefs’...

First quarter

It didn’t take long for Patrick Mahomes to orchestrate a successful drive. On the first play of the game, he connected with Tyquan Thornton for 22 yards. After crossing midfield, the Eagles’ defense stiffened, deflecting a few passes to set up a third-and-10.

Mahomes responded by rifling a 26-yard strike to JuJu Smith-Schuster, moving the Chiefs inside the red zone. Two plays later, he found Isiah Pacheco on a curl route in the end zone for the game’s first touchdown.

Jalen Hurts matched that energy on the Eagles’ opening drive. Tight end Dallas Goedert hauled in a...

In the waning seconds of the first half of last Friday night, the Kansas City Chiefs executed one of the NFL’s rarest and most chaotic plays: the “Mayday” field goal. With no timeouts and the clock bleeding down, Kansas City hustled its unit onto the field and nailed a 59-yarder that gave them three crucial points before halftime against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Special teams coordinator Dave Toub explained afterward just how much work goes into preparing for a moment that, in his words, “doesn’t happen very often.”

“Coach [Andy Reid] gives me a lot of time in training camp...

Each practice day of the season, the Kansas City Chiefs release an official injury report leading up to the next game. This Sunday, Kansas City hosts the Philadelphia Eagles for a Week 2 matchup on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium at 3:25 p.m. Arrowhead Time.

Here is the Chiefs’ final official injury report of the week, including game designations:

1. Is it worrisome that the Eagles are now on their fourth offensive coordinator in as many seasons?

I don’t think it’s ideal but offensive coordinator stability is the exception and not the norm in today’s NFL. The longest-tenured offensive coordinators in the NFL were hired in 2022. Three of those four don’t call plays and the one who does...

Although it was much better during the second half of Friday’s 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense looked far from efficient on its first few drives. Kansas City punted on its first three possessions, gaining only 28 total yards over a dozen plays.

But that inefficiency didn’t seem to be driven by the new players on the Chiefs’ offensive line.

Before the game, there had been much scrutiny of rookie left tackle Josh Simmons and second-year player Kingsley Suamataia, who has taken over at left guard. While The two young players weren’t...

Meeting with reporters on Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo fielded quite a few questions about the team’s season-opening 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil last Friday.

He didn’t mince any words — even when talking about his own errors in the game.

“I just didn’t feel like I had one of my better games,” he admitted. “Usually when I’m making a mistake, it’s a fairly critical one because I feel like I should have called something else — but it begins with me. If I sit there and look in the...

Coming off Week 1’s 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Kansas City Chiefs need to put it all together as they host the world champion Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl LIX on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Can they do it?

1. Can the Chiefs’ pass rush bounce back?

The most concerning aspect of the Chiefs’ loss to the Chargers was their inability to generate pressure with four defensive linemen, which allowed Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert to stand comfortably in the pocket and throw downfield strikes that stressed Kansas City’s coverage.

This was...

It would be an understatement to say that Friday wasn’t the start the Chiefs were hoping to have in 2025. Playing what amounted to a de facto home game as the road team in Brazil against the division rival Chargers, Andy Reid’s team fell behind early and spent the entire game trying to...
