KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Running back Knile Davis possessed experience in the Chiefs’ offense entering the 2015 regular season as Jamaal Charles’ primary backup.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Don’t touch that dial Sunday afternoon because things could get very interesting in the AFC West.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Captain Ahab led his sailors on the whaling ship Pequod in a revenge voyage to kill the great white whale in the Herman Melville classic, Moby Dick.
