KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs offensive line is under siege during the team’s current three-game losing streak, a span where the unit has allowed 13 sacks on quarterback Alex Smith.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs guard/tackle Jeff Allen is out for the season after undergoing elbow surgery. But that hasn’t stopped Allen’s competitive nature, especially when it comes to AFC West rivalries.

Statistics often tell a back story, such as the Chiefs currently converting 45 percent whenever facing a third-and-long with more than 6 yards to go. The first question that should come to immediate mind is why are the Chiefs facing third-and-long to begin with? Of course, the only true statistic that matters is found in the win-loss column where the …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs will soon add to the offensive line with the anticipated activation of right tackle Donald Stephenson from the reserve/suspension list.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Miami Dolphins left tackle Branden Albert will see numerous familiar faces when he looks across the line of scrimmage Sunday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos won’t ever be mistaken for having a lack of confidence.

Now just two games into his professional career, Santos has a chance to test his leg when the …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs have a double dose of bad news on Friday’s injury report for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. The Chiefs earlier placed guard/tackle Jeff Allen (elbow) on injured reserve after he underwent surgery Friday, and rookie running back/wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas (hamstring) will miss a second straight game. Allen’s surgery comes after he injured …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs’ early bad luck with injuries continued Friday, as another player suffered a season-ending injury. “Jeff Allen is having surgery today on his elbow,” coach Andy Reid announced after Friday’s practice, “his bicep tendon, so he’ll be most likely out for the season.” Less than two hours later, the Chiefs officially placed Allen on injured …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton has a simple message for his players as they prepare to face Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. “Don’t be the ‘tell,’” Sutton said Thursday. “Don’t be the guy that’s telling him what the coverage is.” Solid advice, but easier said than done given what happened to the Chiefs pass defense against Manning …
