Patrick Mahomes doesn’t crack Joe Montana’s top 3 QBs list | A to Z Sports
K.C. has gone to five Super Bowls, winning three. However, that’s apparently not good enough for Mahomes to crack the top 3 of Montana’s top QBs list, which he revealed while visiting with the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday.
“I’m taking the guy in Buffalo (Bills QB Josh Allen)” Montana said. “Obviously, (Cincinnati Bengals QB) Joe Burrow’s another guy I like a lot. And believe it or not, I like the guy with the (Los Angeles) Chargers (Justin Herbert)....

For Kansas City Chiefs rookie left tackle Josh Simmons, the butterflies are real. But he insists they won’t define his first NFL start.
“They’re there,” Simmons admitted. “But I think you can cancel those out with preparation, so that’s what I’m about to get ready to do.”
That preparation has been his refrain since arriving in Kansas City. A first-round pick out of Ohio State, Simmons said the culture he left behind in Columbus continues to shape his approach.
“Ohio State helped a lot,” he said. “It trained me how to be a pro — watching film, being on top...

Not every one of the outlets we normally cover publishes power rankings before Week 1’s games. So we’ve included a handful of others in our first power ranking compilation of the season.
For the Kansas City Chiefs, the Week 1 rankings are a bit of a mixed bag. They rank from second to fifth. But there is one thing that’s pretty consistent about them: eight out of the 10 rankings mentions Rashee Rice’s recently announced suspension.
*Perhaps some of these writers forgot that in 2024 — when the Chiefs set a franchise record by finishing the season 15-2 while becoming...

The Kansas City Chiefs kick off their season against the Los Angeles Chargers this Friday night in São Paulo, Brazil — and there’s always a little bit of a learning curve during the first game of the season. Teams are still figuring out what their identity will be, trying to get in sync with the flow of the game — even though they’ve now reached the point that every snap matters. Some teams start slowly. Others evolve over the course of the season.
No one knows this better than Kansas City defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
“You don’t fully know what...

The Kansas City Chiefs’ defense will face a tough opening opponent when they travel to São Paulo, Brazil to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday night. The familiar AFC West foe is a formidable opponent — not only because of what it can do in the running game, but also with a dangerous passing game centered around second-year wideout Ladd McConkey.
“They’re disciplined,” Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie said on Sunday. “They do a really good job in the run game. They have some good receivers in McConkey and also some of [the’ new guys that they got — some...

2025 NFL season sim: Predictions, surprises, playoff teams | ESPN
Both Super Bowl LIX teams miss playoffs
Eleven months after the Chiefs and Eagles squared off in Super Bowl LIX, both teams cleaned out their lockers following Week 18. Neither managed to make it back to the playoffs, easily the shocker of the 2025 campaign in this simulation.
The Eagles were actually done before the final week. Thought to be infallible heading into the season, the Eagles were 5-4 after Week 10 — a game behind the Cowboys but still seemingly in control of...

As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for the start of the 2025 season, head coach Andy Reid has seen enough to know quarterback Patrick Mahomes has taken another step forward.
“He’s got some guys back now for a second term,” Reid told reporters on Sunday, “so he’s familiar with them and trying to take that to another level on game day. I know that’s one of his challenges right now with the crew that we have — and he feels comfortable with the guys, so that’s a good part.”
That comfort, Reid noted, has shown itself in sharper timing...

According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, former Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Mike Pennel has been signed to the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice squad.
Pennel, 34, was a surprise release during the team’s final roster cutdown on Tuesday. It was initially assumed that this was the first move in a maneuver that would put another player on the practice squad after the initial 53-man roster had been set — but speaking to reporters on Thursday, general manager Brett Veach put a different spin on it.
“I think with every position group, we’re trying to get better, and we’re...

3. Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs
Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson may have overshadowed Mahomes at times last season, but he still reached the Super Bowl for the fifth time in seven seasons. And a porous offensive line and injury-riddled receiving unit may have cost Mahomes and the Chiefs the first three-peat in the modern era of pro football. But don’t be fooled: Mahomes remains the best player in the league. A load of motivation, an upgraded...

On Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs will open their 2025 regular season in São Paulo, Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers. Meeting with reporters before starting the week’s practices on Sunday, head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and cornerback Trent McDuffie shared their thoughts on the looming division opponent.
Mahomes moved on to preparing for the Chargers immediately after Kansas City’s final preseason game against the Chicago Bears — but after looking at the Week 1 game plan, the quarterback believes the coaching staff got there first.
“I think it’s a good game plan,” remarked the league’s biggest star....
