Patrick Peterson won’t be playing for the Arizona Cardinals during the first six games of the 2019 season. Beyond the middle of October, though, the superstar cornerback is apparently poised to be on the field in a Cardinals uniform for the foreseeable future. Amid widespread speculation that the Kansas City Chiefs might try and poach […]

The Kansas City Chiefs will be almost unrecognizable on defense in 2019. That’s not a bad thing, either, after Andy Reid’s team finished last in a host of all-encompassing defensive statistics last season, and its defense was unable to get off the field in both the late fourth quarter and overtime of a heartbreaking loss […]

Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is no doubt one of the best tight ends ever, but Tony Gonzalez isn’t ready to dub him the GOAT just yet.

Patrick Mahomes has become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL rather quickly. To some, he is already the best after two seasons in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs—including an impressive 2018 campaign. In 2018, Mahomes threw for 5,097 yards, 50 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions en route to winning the Most Valuable […]

We know that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is one of the best tight ends in the NFL (if not the best), but he can possibly top his incredible 2018 campaign in which he hauled in 103 receptions for 1,336 yards and 10 touchdowns? ESPN thinks he will come close, predicting that Kelce […]

Dwayne Bowe’s playing peak was relatively brief, beset by his frustrating penchant for drops and a work ethic that many called into question. When the former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver was at his best, though, he engaged in some classic one-on-one battles with standout Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey, adding an extra layer of […]

There’s little doubt that Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has one of the best arms in the NFL.

What looked like a promising, potentially career-long tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs for running back Kareem Hunt came to an abrupt end back in November when video footage surfaced of Hunt assaulting a woman at a Cleveland hotel in February 2018.

The similarities between Mecole Hardman and Tyreek Hill are difficult to miss. This much was clear even before the Chiefs rookie took to the practice field for the first time this past weekend.

Tyreek Hill’s status amid an ongoing investigation into allegations of child abuse against he and his fiancée remain uncertain.
