The Kansas City Chiefs may have won 12 games and advanced all the way to the AFC Championship Game this past season, but it certainly was not because of their defense.

Obviously, the natural reaction is to think that if Mahomes did that in his first […]

If Hunt wasn’t […]

After a disappointing home AFC Championship loss, general manager Brett Veach and the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t rest on their laurels.
