Coach Andy Reid said last week that he felt good about his 2015 Chiefs going into Sunday’s game in Houston. Reid also admitted he wasn’t quite sure what to expect from his club in the season opener against the Texans. That’s what having five new starters on the offensive line will do to a head coach’s level of confidence. If …
Offensive, defensive and special teams keys for the Chiefs during Sunday’s season opener at Houston: OFFENSE The Chiefs pass protection against the Texans pass rush will play a major impact on the outcome of the opener. Coach Andy Reid says he’s “comfortable” with his offensive line unit set to start against Houston. The bigger question is whether Alex Smith will …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – It’s been portrayed as a demotion, Eric Fisher’s move from left to right tackle in the Chiefs offensive line.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs started with 90 players at the end of July and they now have 53 in the locker room, in a roster that has changed three times in three days.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Alex Smith and the Chiefs first-team offense went into Friday night’s preseason against Tennessee still trying to develop some sort of productive rhythm after two previous lackluster performances.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Training camp is over and the preseason winds down with the Chiefs three days away from their third game of August. The start of the regular season is just 20 days on the horizon.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Speed is one of those attributes that the National Football League spends millions of dollars each year to find, develop and cultivate.
