PATRICK MAHOMES IS THE BEST EVER AND SO IS TRAVIS KELCE AND SO IS TYREEK HILL AND SO IS ANDY REID AND THIS GAME WAS SO AMAZING AND I LOVE ALL OF YOU FOREVER. AMEN.
I don’t get the ill will toward Dee Ford at all. PFF graded him as the single best edge rusher in the entire NFL last year. He’s a great player, teammate and all-around defender. Loves the city. Lined up wrong on a historic play. No one feels worse than he does. Give it up.
By the way, if you were listening to the CBS broadcast of the game, you heard one of the best all-time calls by anyone in any sport as Kevin Harlan called the Pats game down the stretch alongside the Chiefs-Chargers.
Scene: 49ers v. Chiefs Super Bowl
When: 7 wks from now
SF up 21-20 with seconds left. KC has ball on 4th and goal.
SF stuffs KC to win EXCEPT Dee Ford was offsides. KC get first down and eventual win on TD. After the game, Ford winks at Andy Reid and mouths, “Hope we’re even."

was protecting Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LIV.
Now, the Chiefs lineman, who has a doctorate in medicine, is moving to the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic
It's amazing to see how much Trent McDuffie and George Karlaftis have grown in their second seasons. Both are key defensive pieces and potential pillars. Just incredible 1st round picks by Veach last year.
The problem with “The Chiefs get all the calls!!!” narrative is not only that it’s ludicrous, but also that actually the data & film shows the *opposite* is true.
This Khalen Saunders sack, one of only two in the game, isn’t being talked about enough. Is it a “wow” highlight? No. But his hustle prevented a chunk play and led to Philly settling for a field goal.
No

fan should feel bad for doubting earlier (and no one should be shaming anyone else). The first quarter was humiliating and we all felt it. We should all be thrilled together for the present results. We all want the same thing!

In my 35 year history of watching Chiefs football, there’s just nothing that comes close to the beauty of watching Patrick Mahomes to Tyreek Hill on a deep route. Unbelievable!
"I dated Travis Kelce as recently as when Eric Berry was named an All-Pro and the Chiefs acquired Donald Washington and now I have something I'd like to get off my chest."
1. If Travis Kelce gets 128 receiving yards today, he sets the record for single-season yds by a TE
2. If Tyreek Hill catches 2 TD today, he breaks Dwayne Bowe’s franchise record for most single-season rec. TDs.
Stone Cold's penalty.
Mecole fielding that punt.
Short-yardage silliness.
This team can dominate elite units and then completely melt down because they can't get out of their own way.
If you have a negative take about Laurent Duvernay-Tardif’s decision to do what he wants to stay safe at a very high personal cost, the best move is to keep it to yourself.
Man, people are angry about the Chiefs. What did Pat, Trav and Andy do to deserve this? It’s not like they’re spying on other teams and stealing signals like the last dynasty. They’re simply nice guys who win.
Happy 36th birthday to

shared a video of the hard work he's been putting in to return from injury.
Truly an inspiration.
