Mecole Hardman began the year as a Jets’ afterthought. Traded back to Kansas City for barely anything.
And he just made a play you’ll remember forever.
Travis Kelce said Patrick Mahomes has been studying all the possible teams and defensive looks the past week and a half. When the
#Browns
won, Mahomes already had a full whole notebook ready to go, per Kelce.
Patrick Mahomes revealed that the 25-yard gain to Travis Kelce late in the fourth quarter was ad-libbed. Kelce saw something in the defense on the play before. The on-field chemistry between these two guys is so key to both of their success.
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice in the locker room after the game: "We came in as outlaws and was able to come in and dominate as a team."
And what does he mean by "outlaws?"
"We're the outlaws. Everybody wants to beat the Chiefs. We the ones you want to take down, we got a target on our
Patrick Mahomes said he talked to Andy Reid before he signed the new deal to make sure he had no plans to retire anytime soon. Reid will be 74 when the deal in place ends.
Tom Brady is a Buccaneer. Philip Rivers is a Colt. Andy Dalton is a Cowboy. Nick Foles is a Bear. Jameis Winston is a Saint. Teddy Bridgewater is a Panther. Marcus Mariota is a Raider. Cam Newton has no team. Wild offseason.

All the

on the active roster were spotted at practice during the media look, including Rashad Fenton, Darrel Williams — and yes, Tyrann Mathieu.
#Chiefs
kicker Harrison Butker said two pretty wild things after the game
- he got angrier each of the three kicks at the end of the game
- he hit from 67 before the game and 70 at halftime, so 58 meant he could “swing easy”
The
#Chiefs
entered the offseason with the futures of key pieces Sammy Watkins, Bashaud Breeland, Demarcus Robinson, Mike Pennel and Chris Jones as question marks. Patrick Mahomes’ massive deal needed to be done.
Every single one was signed or extended. Remarkable job.
Head coach Andy Reid says that the team will have meetings Monday — and then the
#Chiefs
players will be off until Thursday. What will follow is three days of practice in which Kansas City will install the San Francisco 49ers game plan. Reid has done this in the past, using this
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce: "You guys think about retirement? Am I the only one in that boat? (laughing)
"I have no reason to stop playing football. I love it."
Kelce adds he has no intention of retiring after this playoff run.
The
#Chiefs
have no injury designations for Super Bowl LVII. QB Patrick Mahomes, CB L'Jarius Sneed, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster and WR Kadarius Toney are all good to go.
Patrick Mahomes says he plans to watch the
#SBLV
film today, realizing that there is a highly-effective defensive game plan out now for the world to see. He knows teams will try to replicate it and wants to begin immediately working on adjustments.
Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster said that Jaguars S Andre Cisco direct-messaged him to make amends after the questionable hit in Week 10 that knocked him out of both that game and Week 11. Sounds like no bad blood there.
Nobody has ever put on a
#Chiefs
uniform more times than Dustin Colquitt (238). Absolute class. Guide for the specialists. Never a bad question. Some of the worst releases to take in are when franchise guys never get their title. I'm happy he got his. A pleasure to cover him. 1/3
From what I’ve gathered, I think this is the first sign of more to come: the
#Chiefs
will make moves to do what no team has ever done, which is win three Super Bowl titles in a row.
Andy Reid said “two more” at the podium tonight. In five years covering Reid, I have never heard him talk like that. Always a game at a time. He believes.
#Broncos
WR Courtland Sutton on 5/14: "I know that y’all have seen the play with Tyrann Mathieu. That play is something that did haunt me for a while. I moved on from it.”
Travis Kelce just tested his back with a few routes. Seemed to be in good spirits, and he concluded with a fist bump to head trainer Rick Burkholder. Appears to be OK to play.
#Chiefs
defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo revealed that the team had a specfic Tyrann Mathieu-driven plan for Buffalo. KC lost Mathieu — one of the league’s most durable players — after just seven plays, and it did show. Spags credited Chiefs offense for keeping them playing.

QB Patrick Mahomes made a point of it to say the team was playing for CB L’Jarius Sneed, who lost his brother this weekend and missed the game. Andy Reid talked about Sneed in his opening statement.
Mecole Hardman, at times, was vocal this year in telling fans and media it’s tough to eat behind Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce.
Well, there are about to be 159 more targets (2021 to Hill) to go around.

GM Brett Veach says the contracts of S Tyrann Mathieu and LT Orlando Brown are “at the top of the list.”
Veach says he and Mathieu’s agent decided prior to 2021 they would look at the landscape in the offseason.
Now we’re here.
The Chiefs have revealed their plans for their reimagined Arrowhead Stadium.
They include:
- New turf-covered Activation Zone with tailgate areas and covered entertainment space built over where The K was
- New Upper Concourse Connection Bridge creating 360 access and more
Andy Reid said he and GM Brett Veach kept QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce in the loop as the Tyreek Hill Dolphins talks were ongoing. Reid said he realizes how close the
#Chiefs
trio was — wanted Mahomes, Kelce to hear the news internally.
Monday Night Football between the Chiefs and the Ravens will mark the first time in NFL history two former MVPs under the age of 26 (Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson) meet in a game.
