Alex Smith Leaves Game On Stretcher With Gruesome Leg Injury [Update]
On a third-and-nine play in the third quarter, Kareem Jackson and J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans sacked Washington quarterback Alex Smith in the backfield for a big loss. The sack forced Smith to land awkwardly on his leg and cause an injury painful enough that the quarterback had to be taken off o...
It Is Hazardous To Look Directly At Alex Smith's Lowlight Reel
It was not quantifiably the worst passing performance of the season or even the week. But Alex Smith’s Monday night stinkbomb, especially contrasted with a superlative (and record-breaking) game from Drew Brees, was for my money the ugliest QB performance of the season....
Alex Smith Sure Likes This Word, Right?
Kirk Cousins is now on the Vikings, right? Which means that Washington will go as far as Alex Smith will take them, right? That’ll be tricky since Dan Snyder’s hell franchise is such a snakepit, right? Good thing he’s up for the challenge, right?...
Report: Chiefs Will Trade Alex Smith To Washington
According to the Kansas City Star, the Kansas City Chiefs have reached an agreement to trade longtime starting quarterback Alex Smith to Washington, freeing the Chiefs from a $17 million cap hit....
The Chiefs Are Flailing
The Chiefs have posted a winning record in all four seasons with quarterback Alex Smith and head coach Andy Reid, but they’ve only won one playoff game. Last summer, there was some talk of giving first-round draft pick QB Patrick Mahomes II a shot instead of Smith. Mahomes, a Big 12 gunslinger, was ...
Chiefs End The First Half With A 57-Yard Mini Hail Mary Touchdown
Alex Smith isn’t the type to throw deep bombs, even in Hail Mary situations, but at the end of the first half today against the Cowboys, the Chiefs QB found a way around that limitation. On the final play before the clock hit zero, Smith was in his own territory and threw a relatively short pass acr...
Alex Smith Calls Out Mike Mitchell For "Extremely Late" And "Flagrant" Hit
Late in the third quarter of this weekend’s loss to the Steelers, Alex Smith escaped third-down pressure and hit Kareem Hunt for a big gain before being brought down after the play by Steelers safety Mike Mitchell. Mitchell was flagged for roughing the passer, and Smith got in his face immediately a...
How Smart Coaches Are Overcoming The NFL's Offensive Issues
When the NFL season got off to an ugly-ass start, the diagnoses came quickly and confidently: a lack of good quarterbacks, fewer quality offensive linemen emerging from the college ranks, reductions in offseason practice time and padded practices, defenses that are catching up. None of these root ca...
Josh Norman, LeSean McCoy, And Others Explain Why They Chose To Demonstrate During The National Anthem
President Donald Trump said Friday that any “son of a bitch” NFL player who kneeled during the national anthem should be fired. He was immediately and rightfully torn apart by professional athletes, both for that remark and for claiming he was uninviting the never-invited Golden State Warriors to th...
Alex Smith Smoked The Patriots By Going Back To College
Alex Smith torched the Patriots Thursday night, and his final stat line was very un-Alex Smith-like: 28-for-35, 368 passing yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, a 148.6 passer rating. Head coach Andy Reid’s and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy’s creative play design and blend of West Coast and s...
Patriots Eat Shit In Front Of God And Everyone
At the end of the third quarter tonight, the Patriots led the Chiefs by a score of 27-21. They proceeded to roll over and die. They gave up 21 points in the fourth, letting Kansas City run away with a 42-27 victory for the worst beating New England’s endured in recent memory....
The Chiefs Have Real Problems
Late last week I pitched an article about the Chiefs. Heading into Week 11, they had won five straight and were in line for the AFC’s No. 2 seed. But, I proposed to question, are the Chiefs actually any good? The response I got from an editor was to wait to see how the Chiefs did during Sunday’s hom...
What's Going On With Alex Smith?
The Kansas City Chiefs are making a change at quarterback: the team will start Nick Foles over Alex Smith for Sunday against the Jaguars. Tyler Bray will be the backup; Smith won’t even dress. Is Smith still suffering the effects of brain trauma from Sunday’s game against the Colts? The Chiefs aren’...

Chiefs QB Alex Smith Leaves Game After His Head Bounces Off The Turf [Update]
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit to the head in today’s game against the Indianapolis Colts....
The Chiefs Finally Put An End To Football's Silliest Streak
I can appreciate a good sports streak as much as anyone, but the dumb ones are always more fun than the actually impressive ones. Which is why last night’s Chiefs-Packers game was, despite Aaron Rodgers’s continued brilliance, kind of a bummer. The Chiefs, for the first time in 18 regular-season gam...
It Took Four Days For Alex Smith To Find Out He Had A Lacerated Spleen
Alex Smith isn't going to start for the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday because he has a lacerated spleen. Smith suffered the injury during last Sunday's game against against the Steelers, but he didn't find out what had happened to him until yesterday....
Somehow, Chiefs WRs Still Haven't Caught Any Touchdowns
It is one of the most bizarre streaks I can recall, and 60 minutes away from a piece of pointless, fascinating history, and if your team is already out of it, you could do worse this Sunday than tuning into Chargers-Chiefs to see if Kansas City can complete its entire season without having one of ...
The Chiefs Reportedly Gave Alex Smith A Buttload Of Money Up Front
Quarterback Alex Smith was set to be a free agent after this season, but the Chiefs locked him up today with a four-year extension that reportedly came with an enormous amount this year....
How The Chiefs Stopped Sucking In One Offseason
Before Week 1, if you'd said that the Kansas City Chiefs would be undefeated halfway through the season, you'd have been chased up and down Blue Parkway by men with butterfly nets. Yet here we are, on the cusp of November, and the last undefeated team in the NFL plays at Arrowhead Stadium. How'd th...
Eagles Fans Stick Around After Game To Taunt Player That Beat Them
So Alex Smith is on a pretty good roll, right? Certainly he's been playing well enough to capture a bit of national recognition for what he's doing. Alas, these are Eagles fans we're talking about....
