Predicting overs and unders for the 2025 Chiefs’ defense

Let’s try to predict how Kansas City’s defense will fare in 2025.

Last week, we crunched the numbers and tried to predict overs and unders for the Kansas City Chiefs offense. For the most part, we took a pretty positive outlook on this Chiefs team offensively. But if Kansas City hopes to push for a fourth consecutive Super Bowl appearance, it must remain one of the league’s top defensive units.

That said, there are definitely areas where the team can outperform last season — most notably in the pass rush, where they tied the Buffalo Bills and New Orleans Saints...

Now heading into the new season, they will use having that bad taste in their mouth as motivation that will be there all season long. The Chiefs are coming.

On Thursday, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell took a senior class yearbook approach to one of the NFL’s conferences, summarizing the offseason of every AFC team with a superlative. Most of them were pretty negative — and his thoughts about the Kansas City Chiefs were no exception.

Clark Hunt issues statement on passing of Colts owner Jim Irsay

On Wednesday, longtime Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay died at the age of 65. Irsay began working in the organization after his college graduation in 1982, taking over ownership with the passing of his father in 1997.

Under the guidance of Irsay, the Colts won Super Bowl XLI against the Chicago Bears, which concluded the 2006 season.

On Thursday morning, Kansas City Chiefs owner, chairman and CEO Clark Hunt shared a brief statement in memory of Irsay.

Predicting overs and unders for the 2025 Chiefs’ offense

Let’s try to predict how Kansas City’s offense will fare in 2025.

The NFL Draft is now well in the rearview mirror.

We now know the Kansas City Chiefs’ full schedule — and, for the most part, what the 2025 roster will look like. That makes it a perfect time to take a preliminary look at the upcoming season and project how the Chiefs’ offense will perform in 2025.

We’ll examine five key statistical categories and assign an over-under number for each. Then we’ll predict whether the Chiefs will likely hit or miss it.

In a post on X, Hill shared an emoji implying he wants to suit up for the Olympics in 2028. He’s already 31 years old and will be 34 during the Olympics, so it’s unclear whether the team would even want him, though his interest is clear.

Tush push survives vote of NFL owners; play will remain legal in 2025

Tush push survives vote of NFL owners; play will remain legal in 2025

Green Bay’s proposal to ban the play Philadelphia made famous did not have enough votes for passage.

On Wednesday, NFL owners failed to pass a proposal by the Green Bay Packers that would have outlawed a play made famous by the Philadelphia Eagles: the tush push.

In this variation of the quarterback sneak, two other players line up behind the quarterback — one on either side — and help push the quarterback through the line. As run by the Eagles, the play almost always gains at least a yard, so it is frequently called in short-yardage and goal-to-go situations —...

Ranking the Chiefs’ best draft picks under GM Brett Veach

What have been best picks in the Kansas City GM’s amazing draft record?

Sometimes it can be hard to calculate how well an NFL general manager does in the draft. Unless they’re fortunate enough to quickly build a competitive roster, their tenures are often too short to create a sample size big enough for a fair evaluation.

Fortunately for the Kansas City Chiefs*, that hasn’t been a problem with general manager Brett Veach, who has been running the league’s most successful franchise since he took over in the summer of 2017. With eight cycles to his credit, Veach has assembled...
