Rivalry games are always weird. The first installment of the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Oakland Raiders this season was no exception and the Chiefs pulled out their sixth straight win, 24-20. Fans and onlookers were left scratching their heads as special teams turned into special disasters for both squads. There were some bright spots and some not-so-bright spots in …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Alex Smith does not play the quarterback position in the manner of Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees. Smith has never been that type of quarterback and never will be.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The environment at Arrowhead Stadium rivaled a stereotypical Seattle day: bleak and clammy.

Jamaal Charles unavailable? No problem. Charcandrick West hobbled and in the locker room? Big deal. The Kansas City Chiefs just grabbed the No. 3 running back on their depth chart and said produce. Spencer Ware got his chance in the spotlight on Sunday and with the help of a couple scores from a dominating defense, the Chiefs pushed their winning …
DENVER – Chiefs running back/returner Knile Davis was a surprise healthy inactive Sunday against the Denver Broncos. But coach Andy Reid emphasized after the game he hasn’t lost faith in the third-year pro. “That’s not what it is at all,” Reid said. “We’re trying to boost our special teams a little bit.” With Davis not dressing, defensive back Saalim Hakim, …
The Denver Broncos were completely unrecognizable, and the Kansas City Chiefs exploited it, dominating the Broncos at home, 29-13. In Week 2, everything that could go wrong did go wrong for Kansas City. In Week 10, everything that could go right did. The game was full of highs and dotted with an occasional low.
