KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Kansas City Chiefs used timely turnovers to slow down the high-scoring New Orleans Saints while relying on their own methodical ground-and-pound offense to hammer out a 27-21 victory at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs yielded Saints quarterback Drew Brees 367 passing yards, ending their 17-game regular season streak of not allowing a 300-yard passing game. But …

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Running back Jamaal Charles plans to play for the Chiefs against the New Orleans Saints Sunday. The running back participated in drills on the field with quarterback Alex Smith before receiving the all-go to lineup today.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs took the field Sunday prepared to battle both the Oakland Raiders and the elements, but neither opponent posed much of a challenge for the Chiefs in a 26-10 victory. Coach Andy Reid’s offense pounded the ball on the ground 40 times with just 24 pass plays, on the way to tallying 406 …

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid kept saying through the first four game of the season that if his team’s offense stopped digging itself into a hole with turnovers, penalties and other mistakes, all would be well. The Chiefs’ 26-10 victory at Oakland proved him right. “We’d been kind of shooting ourselves in the foot,” Reid told reporters in his …
Marcus Peters went home to play in Oakland a year ago as a rookie, and the excitement flowed through his gut so strong he threw up on the sideline during the game. This year’s trip proved much more relaxing – the second-year veteran only need a quick IV treatment to handle this year’s matchup. “Man, that’s all emotions though,” Peters …
Chiefs coach Andy Reid holds a 15-2 career record after the bye week, and the first half of the Chiefs at the Oakland Raiders posts another classic example of why. The Chiefs certainly didn’t look like the .500 team blown out 42-14 in their last outing against Pittsburgh. The offense has shown more patience, the defense more discipline and play …
Short and to the point captured Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s post-game press conference after his team suffered a 43-14 shellacking at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers. “Listen, this is my responsibility,” Reid said. “We clearly didn’t play well enough as a football team. We didn’t coach well enough. I take full responsibility for it. We’ll go back to the …
The sight of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos slipping to the ground in the mud of Heinz Field as he banged a 48-yard field goal try off the left upright epitomized his team’s Sunday night loss at Pittsburgh. Nothing seemed to go right for the Chiefs (2-2) in the 43-14 debacle at the hands of the Steelers (3-1). A …
