Chiefs Celebrate TD With Potato Sack Race
This week’s excellent, creative touchdown celebration that wouldn’t have been possible without the NFL’s recent acceptance of fun came courtesy of Kansas City. The Chiefs took a 16-14 lead on the Dallas Cowboys with a Travis Kelce touchdown catch. Then, he and his teammates had a potato sack race....
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...
Marshawn Lynch Watched Game From The Stands After Ejection, Took The Train Home
After Marshawn Lynch was ejected from last night’s game against the Chiefs for making contact with an official, there were reports that he had immediately changed into street clothes in the locker room and left the stadium. That turned out to not be quite true; Lynch did indeed leave the locker room...
Raiders Win In Wild Finish That Everybody Screwed Up
Oakland topped Kansas City tonight in yet another improbably entertaining Thursday night game, though one that had a finish marred (to some) or spiced up (to others) by errors committed by, in order, the officials, the Raiders, the Chiefs, and the Chiefs again:...
Tipped Pass Leads To 63-Yard TD, Lots Of Cursing
Albert Wilson hauled in a tipped pass to go 63 yards and give Kansas City a 27-21 lead over the Raiders in what’s been a very interesting Thursday night game; subsequently, some very un-FCC-friendly language made its way onto the broadcast, which is what we’re all here for, right?...
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...
Antonio Brown Somehow Scored On This Play
Check out the still image above: Steelers receiver Antonio Brown is at about the Chiefs’ 35-yard line and is flanked by two defenders. Kansas City cornerback Phillip Gaines has just tipped the pass; safety Daniel Sorensen is there to make the tackle. And yet, Brown scored a 51-yard TD. ...
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...
Chiefs Win, Cover Spread And Hit Total With Game-Ending, Otherwise Meaningless Fumble Return TD<em></em>
After wide receiver Josh Doctson dropped a pass that would have given Washington a go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute remaining, the team settled for a game-tying field goal. But a quick drive by the Chiefs put Kansas City back on top with a field goal of their own, and with just a few secon...
The Shovel Pass To Travis Kelce Is A Cheat Code
Two weeks into the season, the Kansas City Chiefs have the most entertaining offense in the league. They shoved 42 points right into the Patriots’ faces by using a read-option scheme, letting Alex Smith sling it, and deploying rookie running back Kareem Hunt like prime-era LaDainian Tomlinson. Yeste...
Kareem Hunt Is Still Fast
Rookie sensation and Patriot-defeater Kareem Hunt didn’t have a blisteringly fast start to his second career game today, but luckily, he’s got some pretty good acceleration. In the third quarter against the Eagles, Hunt sliced through the Philly defense and made himself impossible to catch, giving K...
Cleveland Walks Off For 22nd Straight Win, Will Never Lose Again
Like they have in every game for more than three weeks now, Cleveland won tonight. With an extra-innings walk-off victory, they became the first team to win 22 consecutive games in more than a century. ...
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...
Hello, Kareem Hunt
The Patriots got shoved into a trash compactor last night, and watching it felt wonderful. Alex Smith’s passable and shocking Aaron Rodgers impression may have been the most impressive part of the Chiefs’ performance, but the part that was the most fun to watch was rookie running back Kareem Hunt ma...
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....
