Tyrann Mathieu makes another important pet video
Four years ago, Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu demonstrated the dangers of leaving a pet in a hot car, in a video for PETA.

Have Broncos finally found their franchise quarterback?

The second-round choice has completed 72.7 percent of his passes for 443 yards with five touchdowns, two interceptions and a 111.4 passer rating. The Broncos are 2-0 in his starts, [more]
Andy Reid: Patrick Mahomes’s hand bruised, not broken
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes hurt his right hand early in Sunday’s win over the Patriots and it affected his throws, but Mahomes said after the game that coming out of the game was never an option.

Officials wrongly marched off only 5 yards on a Chiefs 10-yard penalty
Patriots fans were upset with multiple missed calls in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs, but the most egregious officiating error of all may have been on a penalty that was correctly called but then wrongly enforced.

Minor tweak to automatically reviewable plays is needed
When officials saw receiver N'Keal Harry step out of bounds in the second half of Sunday’s game at New England, even though he didn’t, Patriots coach Bill Belichick had no way to challenge what should have been a touchdown, because he had exhausted his budget of red flags. But when it comes to plays that [more]
Chris Jones doesn’t think Chiefs need offense to win games for them
The Chiefs defense gave up more than 1,000 yards to the Patriots in a pair of losses last season, but the unit fared much better in New England this Sunday. The Patriots only gained 278 yards and their attempt to tie the game at the end of the fourth quarter failed when Bashaud Breeland knocked [more]
Tom Brady: I don’t make excuses or blame the referees
There were several calls by officials that went against the Patriots in Sunday’s 23-16 loss to the Chiefs, including incorrectly ruling that wide receiver N'Keal Harry stepped out of bounds before scoring on a pass from Tom Brady.

AFC playoff picture: Week 15 to spotlight AFC South, Wild Card races
When the NFL scheduled the Texans and Titans to play twice in the final three weeks of the season, it couldn’t have known that the divisional race would come down to those matchups. That’s how things have worked out, though. The Texans have gone 4-3 over their last seven games while the Titans have gone [more]
Phillip Dorsett: We had chance to score at the end despite bad calls and didn’t
Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett was Tom Brady‘s target on a downfield shot with just over three minutes left to play in Sunday’s game against the Chiefs, but he didn’t catch the pass while being covered by Chiefs cornerback Kendall Fuller.

Patrick Mahomes: Hand doesn’t feel great, but it’s something you play with
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes got up shaking his right hand after taking a hit in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Patriots and his next pass was wobbly enough to create concern that he might have to come out of the game. Mahomes never did come out of what turned out to be [more]
Jerome Boger: “Not really” a thought to rule N’Keal Harry scored and then review
The Patriots had some calls go against them in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs, including a ruling that wide receiver N'Keal Harry stepped out of bounds before scoring a touchdown in the fourth quarter of the game.

Chiefs hold on for 23-16 win in New England
Bashaud Breeland knocked away a pass to Julian Edelman on fourth down with just over a minute to play in New England to secure a 23-16 Chiefs win over the Patriots.

Patriots close the gap to 23-16, but it should be even closer
The Patriots were down 23-7 in third quarter and their offense was scuffling, so the defense and special teams have made plays to close the gap with the Chiefs. A Nick Folk field goal with 11:42 left to play cut the Kansas City lead to 23-16, but the Patriots surely feel they should have taken [more]
