Chiefs news for Jan 27, 2023
Jump to Tweets | Jump to comments
Good morning, AG!
Today in Chiefs history, in 1993, the LA TIMES, looking for something to write about Super Bowl XXVII, ran this article about Jerrel Wilson and SB IV – https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-01-27-ss-2008-story.html Yeah, I got nothing right now.
Elsewhere, in 1973, the Vietnam War ended.
1967: During a simulation of a launch, U.S. astronauts Virgil I. Grissom, Edward H. White, and Roger B. Chaffee perished in a fire aboard Apollo 1.
1945: The Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz, Poland, was liberated by Soviet troops.
1880: American inventor Thomas Edison patented the incandescent lamp.
And in 1832: Mathematician and novelist Lewis Carroll, best remembered for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass (1871), was born in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. And so was one particular cat. (SWIDT?)
Anyway, on to the Arrowhead Invitational weekend news…
Here’s what could give Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes the most trouble with his ankle injury | KCStar via Yahoo
https://www.yahoo.com/news/could-chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes-170153214.html
The quarterback who will soon win his second NFL MVP award operates outside the position’s intended residence more frequently than any other quarterback in the league. By a wide margin. He’s better at it than the rest of them too. By a wide margin. That’s all to say that the out-of-the-pocket, off-script, spur-of-the-moment brilliance is a significant part of what makes Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes unlike the other guys. And it’s the part we can’t be certain we’ll see Sunday.

Mahomes trivia for #ChiefsKingdom :
-Who are the only 2 NFL teams with a winning record against Mahomes (Regular+Post)?
-Who are the 4 teams with a .500 record against Mahomes?
-Who are the two teams Mahomes has not beaten?
As for where this goes next, I'd say the price will dictate that. Under current circumstances, unlikely KC or Buffalo go get him. If his price drops (both teams offered incentive-heavy deals), then ... maybe.
(Both KC and Buffalo talked directly to Hopkins, and liked him.)
🏈 More on @DeAndreHopkins 🏈
• The Chiefs and Bills were the only teams to have substantive trade talks with Arizona.
• As was the case with Kansas City, contract was the issue for Buffalo.
• KC made progress, but @OBJ's deal ($15M base) more or less blew that progress up.

“Before the Chiefs played the Bengals in Cincinnati, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was a guest on “New Heights,” the podcast hosted by Kelce and his brother, Jason, named after their hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Jason asked Mahomes if he planned to have some chili while he was in town.
“I’m not a chili guy,” he said.
Then Kelce, who played college football at the University of Cincinnati, weighed in.
“If I look at it, and it looks like that, I’m not eating it,” he said. “If it’s coming out the same way it looks going in. … I’ll just get the noodles that it comes with.””

T-38’s??? I was hoping for something with teeth.
You rang?
I’m getting more and more confident as game day approaches. Look for the chiefs to score at least 27 this game. It’s what our offense does. I do think that the bungholes stick around and make it fairly close but in the end the good guys prevail rather comfortably. Chiefs are 8-1 at home this year. Home field advantage is alive and well this year in the conference championship games. Prediction, chiefs score late 4th quarter TD on a longish McKinnon screen pass to make tge final score 34-24.
Look for a Kelce Brothers storyline in the SB. 49ers are 5-3 on the road this year. Losing to really shitty ass teams in Denver, Atlanta and Chicago. Flying west coast to east coast, look for Hurts to put the hurt on the 49ers “#1” defense whose ranking is built on playing crappy teams all year (with the exception of your kansas city chiefs who put the beat down on them). Final prediction 30-13 Eagles.

Keeping an eye on the Bengals’ offensive line injury status. Jonah Williams and Alex Cappa DNP again today. Not a great sign for Sunday.
Ian Rapoport
@RapSheet
An injury to watch: #Bengals TE Hayden Hurst was listed as limited in today’s practice because of a calf injury.

How PFF has graded the Bengals & Chiefs this season (including playoffs)
Overall
KC: 3rd
CIN: 6th
Offense
KC: 1st
CIN: 6th
Passing
KC: 2nd
CIN: 1st
Receiving
KC: 2nd
CIN: 7th
Pass Blocking
KC: 7th
CIN: 31st
Run Blocking
KC: 5th
CIN: 21st
Running
KC: 21st
CIN: 12th
They failed to “grade” Arrowhead
Bengals at 31st in pass blocking is definitely good news.
They stunk both times last year, too. Why we can’t take advantage of it is a mystery.
