KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs took care of one of their own before Saturday’s playoff game, signing tight end Demetrius Harris to a contract extension Friday afternoon.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs rookie center Mitch Morse (concussion) has been ruled out against the Houston Texans. With Morse not in the lineup, the Chiefs are likely to turn to second-year offensive lineman Zach Fulton, who started at center in Week 13 and filled in for Morse in the season finale.

HOUSTON– Chiefs safety Eric Berry’s return to football proved incredibly successful a year after being diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs made it look simple down the stretch of the regular season en route to clinching a postseason berth. But the ease of second half, which featured a franchise-record 10 straight wins, paled in comparison to the first six games. Arguably the lowest point of the Chiefs’ campaign arrived after Week 6’s loss to the …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The spotlight always falls on the quarterback in the NFL. The strength of its unblinking glare has melted the careers of many men that played the position. Others have crashed from the attention, then learned how to survive and deal with the unique pressures presented to the team’s offensive leader. It’s never more visible than in …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The football clock has ticked off quite a few days, months and years since the last time the Chiefs won a game in the NFL playoffs. When kickoff opens the Chiefs’ AFC wildcard game on Saturday against the Texans in Houston, it will have been 21 years, 11 months and 24 days since the Hunt Family …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A team gets off to a slow start, goes into a midseason bye week with momentum, and then finishes strong in the second half to make the playoffs.
