The Kansas City Chiefs looked completely discombobulated for the second straight week in primetime and the Green Bay Packers rolled their way to victory, 38-28. Granted, the second half compared to the first half was reminiscent of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but the transformation wasn’t enough in the end after the Chiefs (1-2) failed to complete a two-point conversion. …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs (8-6) ended a three-game losing streak by defeating the Oakland Raiders (2-12) 31-13. The Chiefs’ last win came against the Seattle Seahawks during Week 11, but Sunday’s win put the team back on the right track with hopes for a postseason berth.

It is bad enough the Chiefs wide receivers lack a touchdown reception through nine regular-season games. But the issue becomes worse when national media outlets don’t get it right surrounding that statistic. CBS Sports ran a segment during Sunday’s live Chiefs-Bills game broadcast indicating Dwayne Bowe scored the last regular-season touchdown by a Chiefs wide receiver against the Washington Redskins …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs will recognize a few players when they look across the field at the opposing sideline on Sunday. It’s an alumni party of sorts, as Tennessee Titans running back Dexter McCluster, kicker Ryan Succop, safety Bernard Pollard, running back Jackie Battle and defensive lineman Ropati Pitoitua once wore a Chiefs uniform. The attention Wednesday fell on …

Thomas arrives with impressive production from three seasons at the University of Oregon. He’ll have to …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – There’s a reunion in Atlanta, as guard Jon Asamoah and defensive end Tyson Jackson get to see a familiar face in Falcons assistant general manager Scott Pioli.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – It’s not a surprise, but the reality of the Chiefs parting ways with key contributors from last season’s 11-5 playoff team has officially arrived.

Albert, who …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs are less than 24 hours from the start of the new calendar year, and more importantly the start of the free agency period. While Monday brought a report of a re-signing, no other moves occurred with the Chiefs players scheduled to enter the market at 4 p.m. on Tuesday. Here’s the latest from Monday’s news cycle: …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The coming days will produce news at a rapid pace surrounding players not franchised or transitioned, and whose 2013 contracts expire at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 11.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs maintained the status quo as the league-wide deadline for designating a franchise or transition player passed Monday afternoon in advance of the NFL’s calendar year on March 11.
