KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In a record-setting year the Kansas City Chiefs offense quickly built around the premise that defenses might be able to take away Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill or Kareem Hunt, but rarely all three. During Sunday’s 29-13 win over Miami that made the Chiefs AFC West champions, the Dolphins couldn’t stop any of them. “We got beat …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Linebacker Justin Houston recovered enough from his illness this week to suit up for the Chiefs against the Miami Dolphins, giving Kansas City an active group with no surprises as they strive to clinch the AFC West divisional title.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Receiver Tyreek Hill does most things in style, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone he sped past the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the season while hauling in a 64-yard touchdown catch and flashing the peace sign on the way to the end zone. “It means a lot,” Hill said after the game about posting his first 1,000-yard …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — By the time Los Angeles Chargers quarter Philip Rivers dropped back for a desperation have on third-and-20 with team down 30-13 with 2 minutes to play, it seemed inevitable the ball would wind its way to Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters. “He’s deadly, an assassin,” wide receiver Tyreek Hill said of his teammate. “He came in this …

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If the Chiefs managed to rally from losing six of seven games in the middle of the season to make a productive playoff run, safety Eric Berry might find a few votes for team most valuable player without even stepping foot on the field.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — No one would blame Chiefs linebacker Reggie Ragland delivered a little extra effort against the Buffalo Bills, the team that drafted him in 2016 and dealt him to Kansas City before he even played an NFL game, but that’s not the linebacker’s style. “Anytime you play against another grown man who wants to hit you in …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs head coach wasted no time following his team’s disappointing 16-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills of falling on his sword and taking responsibility for another poor performance from his offense. “That’s my responsibility for when the offense starts that slow and I’ll go back and look at that,” Reid said. “We didn’t really didn’t get …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Wide receiver Albert Wilson returns to Kansas City’s lineup versus the Buffalo Bills Sunday afternoon, and the Chiefs hope he can inject a spark into the team’s struggling offense.
