KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Discount irrelevant power rankings because the NFL isn’t college football where a flawed BCS system awards “style points.” Also ignore pundits questioning the Chiefs’ unblemished record, as the bottom line is the team sits on 9-0 regardless the amount of dissection. Does the team have flaws, especially on offense? Indeed, but the shortcomings are fixable when …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs players and coaches at One Arrowhead Drive won’t dwell on the current 9-0 record. Toss general manager John Dorsey’s name in the hat as being one with the team. “There’s no way I’d ever do that,” Dorsey said. “I go 1-0 every week. I will never do that other stuff.” Speaking to four reporters during …

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The list of injured starting quarterbacks around the league continues to grow, now headlined by Green Bay Packers signal caller Aaron Rodgers, who went down Monday night with a fractured collarbone.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Some within the media, especially at the national level, find it fit to criticize the Chiefs. The offense stinks, they say.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs officially enter the bye week and a lot of players couldn’t be happier to have the break before the start of the second half of the season. The first nine games saw the Chiefs enjoy a historical turnaround. They’re the first team in NFL history to start 9-0 after posting the league’s worst record …
It’s difficult to pen a game cap when not in the press box. There’s a unique feel from being on the ground, taking in the atmosphere and also the ability to interview coaches and players for postgame reactions. Since I wasn’t in Buffalo for the game, we’ll call this “From the couch” instead. And sometimes media reaction on Twitter is …
The Chiefs list quarterback Tyler Bray, safety Bradley McDougald, center Eric Kush, offensive lineman Rokevious Watkins, offensive lineman Rishaw Johnson, defensive lineman Mike Catapano and defensive lineman Jaye Howard as inactive. Catapano is dealing with a high ankle sprain and was previously listed on Friday’s official NFL Injury Report as “out” for Sunday’s game. Meanwhile, Buffalo quarterback Thad Lewis (ribs) …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Don’t be fooled by the Buffalo Bills’ 3-5 record; this Bills team is tough. Entering Week Nine, the Bills have just two double-digit losses to go along with two heartbreaking losses. The first tough defeat kicked off the season in Week One against the New England Patriots when kicker Stephen Gostkowski booted a 35-yard field goal …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Buffalo hasn’t been kind to the Chiefs, who have lost six straight road games, including two playoff games, at Orchard Park, N.Y., against the Bills since 1991. Meanwhile, Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson also has a streak against the Chiefs. Since 2010, Johnson has a touchdown in three straight games against Kansas City. Johnson’s annual trip …
