Kansas City Chiefs rode a roller coaster up and down the last several weeks, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. After allowing the Pittsburgh Steelers to come to Arrowhead Stadium and run all over the Kansas City defense, the Chiefs found the script flipped in Oakland the following week. The defense battened down the hatches against the run …
Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt stood out during the first three weeks of the 2017 regular season and on Thursday received the AFC Offensive Player of the Month and NFL offensive rookie of the month for September. Hunt continued his incredible rookie season with his third consecutive game with a rushing TD. Hunt averaged 6.4 yards per carry before his …
The Chiefs’ Kareem Hunt has made the most of his opportunities in the season’s first two weeks. The rookie leads not only the Chiefs but the NFL in rushing yards. Hunt, the Chiefs’ third-round selection in this year’s draft, has been better than advertised in relief of Spencer Ware. His performances in his first two games helped propel the Chiefs …
National recognition continues flowing toward Alex Smith following his week one outing against New England.

Veach traded for both inside linebacker Reggie Ragland as well as offensive lineman Cameron Erving since …
The Kansas City Chiefs have made some decisions about their inside linebacker group. In trading a 4th round pick to acquire Reggie Ragland from the Buffalo Bills, the Chiefs have taken a step in the right direction. General manager Brett Veach added an important tool to the defense that it didn’t have prior to Monday. Ragland is a classic 3-4 …
The Kansas City Chiefs took an extended look at young players in their first preseason game. The progression of many young players stood out early in camp as well as against the San Francisco 49ers. Now rookie players look to build on that experience as they prepare for getting to against the Cincinnati Bengals. Tanoh Kpassagnon led the group by …
The Kansas City Chiefs have reached their first major question of training camp. Do they have enough cornerback depth? Many questioned the Chiefs’ leadership in waiting until the 6th round of the NFL Draft to select a defensive back in 2017. The team’s lack of experience at the position and a proclivity for injuries at the position made depth at …
The Chiefs quarterback “controversy” continues shaping up as an atypical one. The selection of Patrick Mahomes in the 2017 NFL draft generated the likelihood of some type of quarterback competition. Tyler Bray remains running at the No. 2 quarterback position but Mahomes performance with third team reps raises the question if Mahomes might be ready to wrestle the backup job …
