Kansas City Chiefs News

The best seasons in NFL history by 36-year old tight ends: Tony Gonzalez: 93 rec, 930 yards, 8 TD Antonio Gates: 53 rec, 548 yards, 7 TD Everyone else: out of football or under 250 yards Travis Kelce: On pace for 79 rec, 910 yards, 6 TD.

Uh Oh: 23% of all extra point attempt misses in the NFL this year have come from Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. Is it time for Kansas City to find someone else? 😳😳😳

Here is the pool report from reporter Matt Derrick, who spoke with referee Craig Wrolstad on Jared Goff's TD/penalty: Question: Can you walk me through the play itself and what Jared Goff did to draw the penalty (first quarter illegal motion foul that negated a touchdown)? Craig Wrolstad: “There were a lot of moving parts on that play. We had a quarterback go up to the line of scrimmage. He paused momentarily in the quarterback position, didn’t get under center, but he walked up and stopped like he was the quarterback. Then, he went in motion, and they threw the ball to him for a touchdown.  If the quarterback assumes the quarterback position and then goes in motion, he has to then stop for a second before they snap the ball.  Because he gets out of the view of some of the officials, we had to piece it together as a crew as to whether he stopped initially and then whether he stopped when he went in motion. It was determined after a lengthy discussion that he stopped at the quarterback position and then went in motion. But when he does that, he has to stop when he goes in motion. Question: So, if he had come to a complete stop after going in motion, it would have been a legal play? Wrolstad: “That’s correct.” Question: My understanding is that there was a minute and 14 seconds from the time the play ended until when you dropped the flag for the penalty. Can you walk me through what the discussion process was between you and the crew in making that decision? Wrolstad: “It’s my job to see if the quarterback stopped initially.  The down judge watches the player in motion, and we had to communicate between him, my umpire, and my line judge whether or not he initially stopped at the quarterback position and then whether he stopped after he went in motion out of my view toward the left-hand side of the field.  There was a little bit of confusion in our discussion whether he had stopped initially or whether he had stopped at the end and what we were talking about. That’s why the flag came in so late. Question: What kind of help or assistance, if any, did you have from the replay assistant in Kansas City or from New York? Wrolstad: We did not have any assistance from Kansas City or New York. Question: So that was just a discussion amongst the crew itself? Wrolstad: “That’s right.” Question: Would the ruling on the play have been different if Jared Goff had been in a shotgun formation? Wrolstad: “Yes. If he doesn’t assume a t-quarterback position, then he would not have had to stop.  He would have had to stop originally in the shotgun formation for a second. Everybody would have had to be set for a second. But then if he goes in motion, he would not have to stop. This only applies to a quarterback who has assumed a position as a t-quarterback.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice’s six-game suspension is now over and he is eligible to play Sunday vs. the Raiders.

Vibes are as you’d expect 😎

The skirmish between Lions safety Brian Branch and Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster after last night’s game will be reviewed and, in the words of an NFL official, “determinations on discipline made from there.” 📸: Ed Zurga, AP

Lions lose to the Chiefs who lost to the Jaguars who lost to the Bengals who lost to the Packers who lost to the Browns…therefore the Browns are the best team in football. I don’t make the rules.

100 people on the field yelling at the same time and you can hear Mahomes’ goofy voice clear as day 💀

JuJu Smith-Schuster: "Ay good gam— Brian Branch:

What a night. See you back here next week, Chiefs Kingdom ❤️

Not in our den!
