Patrick Mahomes weighs in on whether Tyreek Hill is the best receiver in the NFL
One of the biggest questions emerging in the aftermath of Sunday night’s 43-40 shootout between the Patriots and Chiefs is whether Tyreek Hill already is the best receiver in the game.

Vontaze Burfict’s digital footprint shows a desire to inflict injury on Steelers players
On Wednesday, the case was made (both in print and in the #PFTPM podcast) for a permanent banishment of Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict, in the aftermath of his latest on-field misconduct during a game against the Steelers.

Chiefs likely won’t be bringing back Derrick Johnson
Linebacker Derrick Johnson spent 13 seasons as a key member of the Chiefs’ defense. The team decided not to offer him a contract before he became a free agent.

Troy Vincent doesn’t seem to buy Breeland Speaks’ excuse for not sacking Tom Brady
A key play from Sunday night’s Chiefs-Patriots game had Kansas City applying double coverage to three options in the New England goal-line passing game, which created an opportunity for quarterback Tom Brady to run for the end zone. And run he did. Along the way, he avoided an attempted tackle by linebacker Breeland Speaks, who [more]
