The Raiders have a fresh reason to worry about Travis Kelce, and it has little to do with his reputation. Through three games, he leads Kansas City with 14 catches and 231 receiving yards. Las Vegas, meanwhile, just allowed four touchdowns to Saints tight ends. The question for Sunday is narrower than whether the Raiders can stop the Chiefs’ offense: […]

Setting the stage for Week 4 The Chiefs released their first practice participation report for Raiders week on Wednesday, September 30, and two items jumped off the page for Kansas City: cornerback L’Jarius Sneed was limited with a knee issue, and starting left tackle Josh Simmons did not practice due to a back injury. For a team heading on the […]

For years, Raiders Week has felt like a rivalry Kansas City knew how to handle, even when the games got uncomfortable. Sunday’s trip to Las Vegas feels different. The Chiefs and Raiders are both 3–0, and the winner will take an early edge in the AFC West. That doesn’t settle a division race in October, but it does mean the […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are currently dealing with the impact of wide receiver Xavier Worthy’s shoulder injury, which seems to be affecting his performance on the field. Head coach Andy Reid has noted that Worthy, the team’s first-round draft pick in 2024, hasn’t been at full strength since he re-injured his shoulder during training camp. This follows a dislocated and […]

Andy Reid’s updates on Chamarri Conner and Josh Simmons sounded different for a reason. Reid said Conner has a “good chance” to play against the Raiders after practicing last week, but offered no comparable timetable for Simmons. Both have missed Kansas City’s first three games. For a Chiefs team trying to settle its lineup, that leaves the defense preparing for […]

Power rankings can tell Chiefs fans where Kansas City stands after three wins. Kenneth Walker III is offering a more interesting answer to a different question: How many ways can this offense win? Walker leads the NFL with 360 rushing yards through three games, and the Chiefs have reached No. 2 in several Week 4 rankings. The ranking is nice. […]

Miami’s first possession was the kind of drive that can make a defense look unsettled: 17 plays, 91 yards, and a touchdown. The Dolphins kept finding ways to extend it, including on third down. Steve Spagnuolo gathered the Chiefs’ defense on the sideline afterward, and George Karlaftis’ account of that conversation reveals more than just the final score. The message […]

Travis Kelce’s stellar performances have not only cemented his status as one of the league’s elite tight ends but have also opened doors for his teammate Noah Gray. Currently, Kelce leads the NFL with an impressive 155 yards after the catch and ranks second among tight ends with 231 receiving yards, plus two touchdown receptions. In the Chiefs’ recent 24-10 […]

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Josh Simmons remains sidelined, having missed all three games this season due to a mysterious back injury. Head coach Andy Reid provided a vague update on Simmons’ status, stating, “I’ll let you guys know when Josh is coming back. I’ll be the first to tell you.” This lack of clarity raises concerns about the severity […]

A 24-10 road win is usually an easy result to enjoy. Kansas City left Miami at 3-0, but Sunday’s game offered two narratives: the Chiefs made enough plays to win comfortably on the scoreboard, yet they allowed a winnable game to linger closer than it should have. Here are five takeaways worth carrying into the next week. 1. Mahomes was […]
