Sixty Years in Kansas City: New Leadership Turns the Tide| Chiefs dot com

Winning cured a lack of interest in 1966 and it quickly sparked what interest still percolated among a dwindling few diehards inside the Chiefs’ cavernous stadium by the birth of the 1990s.
It came in the form of a new management team and a new coaching staff. There had been other head coaches to be sure, and they had not worked, but the front office had been pretty much the same with just a few additions and subtractions through the years.
Both Carl Peterson, as president and general manager, and Marty Schottenheimer, as head coach, did something their predecessors could not do. They brought the staffs that fared them well at their previous stops. Moreover, Lamar Hunt could point to their successful resumes in turning around losing franchises, something his prior hires did not have.
2023 NFL Playoff Picture: Chiefs, Eagles Have Clear Path to Top Seeds | Sports Illustrated

Although nobody has clinched anything this early, there are a couple of safe conclusions to draw looking at the standings.
In the AFC, it would take a monumental collapse for the Chiefs (7–2), Ravens (7–3) or Jaguars (6–3) to miss the playoffs, considering their records, talent and divisional situation. The Bengals (5–4) and Dolphins (6–3) also appear to be safe bets.
In the NFC, the Eagles (8–1) have the clear path to the top seed for the second consecutive year. It also looks like the Cowboys (6–3) will be a dangerous wild–card team, while the 49ers (6–3) and Seahawks (6–3) are both likely playoff teams who will battle for the NFC West crown. Then there’s the Lions (7–2), who should have a hammerlock on the NFC North, meaning they’ll host a playoff game for the first time since 1993.

PFF grades for every player on Chiefs defense at Kansas City’s bye week
The Kansas City Chiefs defense has been an impressive group in 2023 and has its sights set on becoming one of the best groups to ever take the field in franchise history.
Led by All-Pro defensive lineman Chris Jones and second-year cornerback Trent McDuffie, the unit has been extremely effective at limiting opponents to minimal points and yardage through nine games this season.
The resurgence of Kansas City’s defense has given Chiefs fans hope for the future as the team’s offense continues to work its way back to championship form at the season’s midway point.
The KC Chiefs’ 2023 Offensive Line Is a Complicated Group | Sports Illustrated
https://www.si.com/nfl/chiefs/gm-report/kc-chiefs-2023-offensive-line-is-a-complicated-group
Dating back multiple offseasons, the Kansas City Chiefs have always prioritized protecting the face of their franchise. Keeping Patrick Mahomes safe is at the forefront of the franchise’s focus, and this past offseason saw some changes that emphasized that need even more.
Instead of working out long-term contract extensions with Orlando Brown Jr. and Andrew Wylie, Kansas City allowed its starting offensive tackles to sign elsewhere. In their places, the Chiefs brought in the duo of Donovan Smith and Jawaan Taylor while also selecting Wanya Morris in the third round of the NFL Draft. The end result entering the season was a group with plenty of hype, although some players haven’t quite justified that. What’s the state of the offensive line as the final stretch of the 2023-24 campaign looms?

Chiefs News: Andy Reid Issues Apology to Players After Dolphins Game
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Miami Dolphins 21-14 in Frankfurt, Germany, but it wasn’t exactly pretty.
While the Chiefs’ defense shut down one of the most explosive offenses in the league, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his offense are in a rut. During the locker room celebration at Deutsche Bank Park, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid kept it real with his postgame speech.
After congratulating the defense for doing “a heck of a job” on November 5, “offense, you did enough,” Reid said, before issuing an apology to the offensive line.

#Chiefs Dave Toub says punter Tommy Townsend is doing well despite still being listed with a wrist injury.
“We have to put everything on the injury report.” 😅
Another difference in #Chiefs - Eagles from SBLVIII: No Juju Smith-Schuster for KC, who moved the chains 4 times in the 2nd half (plus the defensive holding)
Rashee Rice is now playing that role. If he can be as reliable catching the ball, he has a higher play-making ceiling
One thing different about #Chiefs - Eagles from SB LVIII is Philly missing Dallas Goedert this time around. He fractured his forearm v. Dallas
He made some incredible catches w/ KC in tight coverage. Both of these at important moments in 2nd half
Taco Bell, Olive Garden, Chipotle, and State Farm coming together today over Travis Kelce’s old tweets is hilarious. 😂

Chipotle founder Steve Ells is gearing up to launch a new venture: a largely automated, meat-free restaurant chain called Kernel, The Wall Street Journal writes.

The first location is set to open in Manhattan in early 2024 and require only three human workers, relying on a robotic arm, a programmed toaster and conveyor belts once orders are “beamed to the kitchen.” The goal is to charge prices similar to competitors’ but offer better pay and benefits to the leaner staff, said Ells, who left Chipotle in 2020 after outbreaks of food-borne illness.
