The 6-5, 313-pound Pughsley entered the league in May as an undrafted free agent out of Akron with the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas waived Pughsley on …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Third-year pro Jamell Fleming surprisingly drew the start Sunday at left cornerback in place of Marcus Cooper against the San Diego Chargers. Whether there’s an open competition leading to Week 8’s game against the St. Louis Rams or Fleming is the permanent solution remains to be seen. “We’ll see,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said during Monday’s media session. …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – An enduring image from Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles’ record-breaking 16-yard touchdown run came on a violent midair collision as he crossed the goal line. Charles, who became the Chiefs’ all-time rushing leader on the play, was on the receiving end of a crushing hit by former teammate and current Chargers cornerback Brandon Flowers. Charles, however, …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs coach Andy Reid isn’t one to put the spotlight on himself surrounding his accomplishments throughout a 16-year career as a head coach. He’s been there, done that, of course. Still, what he’s achieved after a bye week as an NFL coach deserves attention because there’s no arguing its impressive nature. Reid is now 14-2 (.875 …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs came out of Sunday’s 23-20 win against the San Diego Chargers relatively intact on the injury front.

The Chiefs-Chargers rivalry has produced nail biters in the past, and Sunday’s 23-20 win by the Chiefs wasn’t different. Week 7’s victory pushed the Chiefs to 3-3 and could become the catalyst for the Chiefs to go on a run in the remaining 10 games, a scenario once thought impossible after the 0-2 start to the season. The win is …
Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries in Sunday’s 23-20 win against the San Diego Chargers. But a second-quarter rushing attempt on a 16-yard touchdown run carried significance for the seventh-year pro.

Rookie kicker Cairo Santos nailed a 48-yard field goal with less than 25 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to help the Chiefs secure a 23-20 win over the San Diego Chargers.

The Chiefs (3-3) dominated time of possession, holding the ball 39 minutes …
The list of Chiefs inactives for Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers carries no surprises. The notable inactives are strong safety Eric Berry (ankle), who misses a fourth straight game, cornerback Chris Owens (knee) and wide receiver Donnie Avery (groin). Berry suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 2 leading to the missed time. He practiced Monday and Wednesday, …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The hulking 6-3, 290-pound defender won’t command the spotlight like some of his high-profile defensive teammates. But Chiefs defensive end Allen Bailey has blossomed from a backup role the previous three seasons to become an every-down starter. The Chiefs’ appreciation of Bailey’s value is evidenced through five games where he has totaled 260 defensive snaps, 14 …
