The Season Is Over For Lucas Niang | ProfootbaLLTALK
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, offensive tackle Lucas Niang is believed to have suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon on Sunday.
Niang, who usually starts at right tackle, flipped over to left tackle when Orlando Brown Jr. suffered a calf injury during pregame warmups. Niang then suffered the knee injury on Kansas City’s second drive and was carted off the field.

Now 11-5, the Chiefs are looking up at the AFC’s No. 1 seed. The Tennessee Titans are in the driver’s seat for that first-round bye and homefield advantage with one game remaining in the regular season. The Chiefs and Titans could each finish 12-5, but Tennessee holds the tiebreaker, having beaten the Chiefs in November.
Dropped Passes Slow Kansas City Chiefs Offense During Loss To Bengals | Forbes
“We were executing at a high level in the first half,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “We had a couple bad plays here and there from really everybody that kinda stalled drives out.”
Week 17 loss to Bengals | chiefswire
Things went well for Kansas City in the first half, but they quickly started unraveling as the game went on. Once the drops and penalties started to come for the Chiefs it felt like a dam broke, and they were suddenly fighting themselves and a potent Bengals offense. Still, this one came down to the final minutes of the game, minutes where the defense might have been best served letting Cincinnati score and giving Patrick Mahomes a chance to march down the field and match.
Injury updates following Week 17 | chiefswire
The Kansas City Chiefs were left to lick their wounds after a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and they had a few big wounds.

– Patrick Mahomes had a message for young Bengals star Ja’Marr Chase when the two met on the field after Cincinnati’s dramatic 34-31 win over Kansas City to clinch the AFC North title.
“Keep going – we’ll see you in the playoffs,” the Chiefs quarterback told Chase.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling with a TD grab on a slant from Mahomes. He’s had a couple grabs/targets in this 7-on-7 period. #Chiefs
No new injuries to report from Chiefs' camp today. Just the guys on PUP (Niang, Fenton and Tega Wanogho).
I say this respectfully and, honestly, with admiration: Joe Thuney is a football-playing robot who also happened to be coded by Bill Belichick. It's kind of amazing. He's like an AI-generated NFL guard. Can't get one by him on the o-line or at the podium. No pressure, ever.
Mahomes to Juju for another good catch

Here are some quick notes from Thursday’s practice

New story. Patience is 1 tactic in roster-building that can be undervalued. In adding Carlos Dunlap to strengthen their pass rush, the Chiefs hope their patience the offseason is rewarded.

Dunlap, newly signed, is projected to compete for a starting role on the defensive line alongside veterans Chris Jones and Frank Clark.

Cardinals pull plug on Murray's film study clause
The Arizona Cardinals have removed the independent study clause from quarterback Kyler Murray's $230 million contract, the team announced on Thursday.
www.espn.com
Statement from the Arizona Cardinals’ on Kyler Murray’s updated contract:
We share in the sadness felt today throughout the NFL community following the news of William White’s passing. Drafted by the Lions in the 4th round of the 1988 Draft out of Ohio State, White played 6 seasons in Detroit (1988-1993) & appeared in 95 games (79 starts) for the club.
Really need KC to draft this guy.
I feel a bit more sympathy for AB after hearing this but still no reason to act like a clown. The Bucs coaches should definitely be held accountable for trying to force a player to play knowing he was injured.
Chiefs still hosting AFC CHAMPIONSHIP.
Refer to BLUTO speech. 😄
It want to post the weakest EXCUSE for Chiefs lost: THE REF 🙂 🙂
Guess what Cowboy fans are posting why they lost game — The REFS. Yep, bad calls were made.

Back to a FEW REASONS WHY CHIEFS LOST:
Tweet from MITCHELL SCHWARTZ during CHIEFS/CINN game:
I blame the refs still.
These guys are great coaches. I think they had a plan, it just didnt’t work out perfectly.
For example, the blitz on 3rd and 27… we were trying to cause a punt instead of allowing a field goal. It was a gamble that didn’t pay off.
Then they thought, either we’ll stop them at the goal line or they will score. Then we’ll get the ball back and have a chance. I don’t think we anticipated having 7 downs on the 1 or whatever it was.
I have to trust coach Reid’s decision making over just about anyone else.
That’s what fans do – they blame the ref! So maybe the Chiefs didn’t lose because of the ref’s, but I could comfortably say that Cincinnati won because of them. They had more effect on the last few minutes of that game than any referees should have, and they undoubtedly chose the winner in the last 2 minutes.
So Niang is down. What is Remmers’ status? Wylie is still good to go, how about Long? And what happened to OBjr? Didn’t see the game but it sounds like a bit of a shit show in the second half.
In all honesty, the OL wasn’t the problem yesterday. If they roll out what they played on Sunday, I think they’re fine. Need Brown back by playoffs, which he should be. Thuney was remarkably good at LT
Well, that game was a fine how do you do!
I’m kinda thinking resting our players might be the way to go. Being the 4 seed and facing the Patriots sounds better than being the 2 seed and facing the Bolts. Sure we’d be on the road but we’ve lost several games at home this year so I’m not sure homefield advantage is a thing with this team.
Naw – you have to try for the highest seed – home field advantage is HUGE in the playoffs.
I’d rather face Mac Jones than Herbert at the moment.
I’d rather face the Bolts. We’ve beaten them once already. And we plan for them much more in training.
I hear you but it works the other way too. They train for us and have beaten us once already as well.
We beat ourselves in that first game.
True. And we’ve beaten ourselves several times this year. Falling to the Chargers in the playoffs would be hell on Earth.
Seriously? You want to intentionally go into the playoffs with a two game losing streak because we might have to play a certain team? Absolutely flipping not. We go into the playoffs not giving a crud who we are playing. We go into it with one goal, beating the s… out of whoever we play. Yikes!
Sometimes you gotta play chess instead of checkers my friend.
Going in on a losing streak is no way to go in. If you can’t beat whoever you play in the playoffs, we’ll then you’re not the best team period.
When you play chess is during the game itself.
Love him or hate him, Bill Belichick would disagree. You do whatever it takes to increase the odds in your favor to win the championship.
Agreed. IF we think we are the best, we are going to have to go out and prove it!
Win and you have a chance of host the AFCCG. Lose, and you can kiss it goodbye
You don’t want to play all the road games. I’d rather win and get one home game.
Maybe two, right?
If we win next week and win the first round and the Titans lose their first round, wouldn’t we get the AFC Championship at home again?
For those who might think otherwise, I have not cheated for the Chiefs in any way as this tournament has progressed. These are actual statistical results.
FINAL MATCHUP
2018 Chiefs vs 1998 Vikings
Very cool. Of course, I like how the 2019 Chiefs ended better myself.
Tournament Update – Semi Finals
2018 Chiefs – 413 points
2001 Rams – 320 points
1998 Vikings 503 points
2013 Broncos 410 points
Sounds reasonable. BV, make it so
I will chip in for the BBQ
I think one of the local places already agreed to that demand. We’re hung up on the jet for his dogs
maybe that could be negotiated to a company Cessna.
“Yes, I’m in shape. Round is a shape.” HA! Mitch should do standup. (or roll-up, whatever the situation truly needs)
Makes me feel better than I’m in the same shape as a pro athlete. Who is Cupcake and Pumpkin?
His dogs?
Nah, gotta be cats or gerbils. Can’t see anyone calling their dog Cupcake unless it is a purse poodle.
Dogs is correct
That’s pretty cheap if we don’t give him millions of dollars.
