Texans DT makes bizarre claim ahead of Week 16 matchup vs. Chiefs

One of the #Texans’ defensive linemen made a rather bizarre claim about his excitement to face #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in Week 16.

The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up to play the Houston Texans this weekend, but an ankle injury sustained by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes looms large over the defending Super Bowl champions’ Week 16 matchup.

Though Mahomes is expected to play through his ankle injury, Texans defensive tackle Tim Settle used his time with the media to clarify that Houston isn’t worried about facing the reigning Super Bowl MVP.

In an interview on Wednesday, Settle was asked about facing Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offensive line, and he had some interesting comments to make about Kansas CCity.

The fifth-round pick did not hold back when discussing Saturday’s game, saying:

“I don’t know if he [Mahomes] is playing or not, but I hope he’s mobile enough cause we coming at Arrowhead.”

Take a look at Settle’s interview, which was posted by user @sidelinesarah on Twitter: 

Though the Chiefs’ offensive line has struggled to keep Mahomes upright in recent weeks, Settle’s confidence may be misplaced, given the two-time MVP’s 2-1 record against Houston in his career.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce pulls hilarious stunt with Chris Jones at practice

#Chiefs TE Travis Kelce pulled a hilarious prank on Chris Jones during Kansas City’s practice session on Wednesday.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is a known prankster, and managed to make waves at practice on Wednesday by joking around with veteran defensive lineman Chris Jones.

While the team was preparing for their highly anticipated Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, Kelce ran up to Jones and did an NBA-style slam dunk move that knocked the long-tenured sack master to the ground.

Before he helped Jones back to his feet, Kelce did a signature victory dance for everyone who was watching the horseplay in Kansas City’s indoor practice facility.

FOX 4 KC sports anchor Harold R. Kuntz posted a video of Kelce’s stunt to Twitter.

Take a look:

 

Kelce’s rough show of brotherly love with Jones appeared to go over well with their teammates, who seemed to get a kick from the All-Pro tight end’s antics.

Expect to see Kelce and Jones channel their rambunctious energy to help the Chiefs defeat Buffalo on Sunday.

Chiefs DL Charles Omenihu blasts Mel Kiper for bizarre rule suggestion

#Chiefs DL Charles Omenihu didn’t hold back in criticizing Mel Kiper after the draftnik suggested a bizarre change to the NFL’s rulebook.

The Kansas City Chiefs are off to a 2-0 start in their 2024 campaign, and while things are going according to plan for the defending Super Bowl champions, most of the team’s players are preparing for a Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Veteran defensive lineman Charles Omenihu, however, is still rehabbing an injury he sustained last season and has yet to rejoin the Chiefs active roster.

A constant presence on Twitter, Omenihu is never shy about making his voice heard on all things related to the NFL and had a strong reaction to a take from renowned draftnik Mel Kiper Jr. this week.

When Kiper went on Get Up and suggested that two high safety defenses should be outlawed to make deep passes easier for quarterbacks, Omenihu made things personal.

Clearly, Kiper’s opinion didn’t sit well with the seasoned pass rusher, and the proposed rule change doesn’t seem likely to be taken seriously by the NFL.

Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase with bizarre take ahead of matchup vs. Chiefs

#Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase told fans that Cincinnati is “the team to beat” in the AFC ahead of their matchup against the #Chiefs this weekend.

The Cincinnati Bengals are a confident bunch, but ahead of a matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend, star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase gave his team a lot more credit than it deserves after a brutal loss in Week 1.

During comments to the media this week, Chase told a reporter in no uncertain terms that the Bengals are the “team to beat” in the AFC.

“Everybody knows that,” Chase said. “There’s not no ‘if’, we are the team to beat in the AFC, and we know it, and we’ve got to act like it. We’ve got to play like it too.”

While Chase’s confidence is admirable, poking the bear is rarely a winning strategy, and the Chiefs seem poised to steamroll Cincinnati if the Bengals come out as flat as they were against the New England Patriots in Week 1.

If the former LSU standout doesn’t put together a winning performance this weekend, expect this clip to recirculate.

 

Chiefs vs. Ravens: Creed Humphrey makes bold statement with pregame attire

#Chiefs center Creed Humphrey decided to wear a very specific shirt for Kansas City’s home-opener against the #Ravens on Thursday night.

The Kansas City Chiefs are used to being in the spotlight and will use the experience to their advantage against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.

Before their Week 1 matchup kicked off, Chiefs players set the stage for the highly-anticipated AFC Championship Game rematch by donning unique outfits as they walked to the locker room upon arriving at Arrowhead Stadium.

Center Creed Humphrey, known to be one of the bigger personalities on Kansas City’s roster, cashed in on his red carpet moment with a hilarious shirt made specifically for the Chiefs’ matchup against Baltimore that read: “This is my shirt for the Ravens game.”

Clearly, the former Sooner had this game circled on his calendar, and for good reason.

With a win in tonight’s game, Kansas City can get out to a 1-0 start in their 2024 campaign and gain momentum as they attempt to complete the NFL’s first-ever Super Bowl three-peat.

Patriots QB Drake Maye completes pass after losing his shoe

Check out this video of New England #Patriots QB Drake Maye completing a pass after losing his shoe against the Washington #Commanders.

The New England Patriots drafted Drake Maye because of his ability to make big plays, and he has already impressed fans after a successful preseason.

There is a lot of pressure on Maye to excel in a rebuilt Patriots lineup, and he has big shoes to fill as New England’s newest quarterback prospect.

Maye is competing with Jacoby Brissett for the starting role in the Patriots’ offense and showed why he should get the gig against the Washington Commanders over the weekend.

Check out this bizarre play that was featured by the NFL’s official Twitter account, where Maye loses his shoe and still completes a pass:

Though New England went on to lose in their matchup against Washington, the rookie’s effort in the game was superb.

For Maye’s sake, we’ll hope that he won’t have to deal with any more wardrobe malfunctions if he sees the field for New England this season.

Chiefs OL Kingsley Suamataia reacts to his bizarre avatar on ‘Madden 25’

#Chiefs OL Kingsley Suamataia was underwhelmed by his avatar in Madden 25, which doesn’t look like him in the slightest.

Most players in the NFL probably look forward to seeing their digital likeness appear in yearly releases of the video game Madden Football, but Kansas City Chiefs rookie Kingsley Suamataia was hit with a surprise upon seeing a screenshot of himself in the game’s newest release.

It appears that Suamataia is a player whose image hasn’t yet been rendered in the digital world, so the rookie tackle looks like a generic avatar that bears no resemblance to him in real life.

Kingsley Suamataia reacted to the image of himself in the video game on Twitter with just three emojis, perhaps the only reaction necessary.

His image on the virtual field may not match real life. Still, Kingsley Suamataia impressed on the actual field versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in his first preseason appearance in the NFL and is expected to make his second outing tomorrow when the Chiefs face the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium.

See how you can catch tomorrow’s game live.

Cowboys Huggins ejected at Rams joint practice after shoving opposing staff

Watch Cowboys Albert Huggins makes unprompted hit on Rams staffer at joint training camp

There was some unsportsmanlike conduct on display at the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams when a Rams staff member was shoved to the ground by Cowboys defensive tackle Albert Huggins during drills Wednesday.

Everyone participating in the drill became emotional and Rams members insisted the Cowboys “didn’t want to practice” after the bizarre unprompted hit on an unpadded assistant.

This choice by Huggins led to his being ejected from the practice by Cowboys coaches and the full transcript of the event states he flipped off the Rams as he walked away from the practice.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has since made a statement on the incident at the joint practice, emphasizing that the Cowboys do not condone unsportsmanlike conduct and Albert Huggins has made an apology.

NFL reporter Todd Archer shared Coach McCarthy’s statement on Twitter.

Huggins could be in trouble if the Cowboys head coach sees him break professionalism again, however, despite McCarthy’s resolution of the drama, he is unlikely to make the 53-man roster as he is a recent acquisition that has not performed for the team.

Chiefs Chris Jones volunteers $1.5m to cover stolen chicken wings

When a Cook County school employee was convicted of a $1.5m chicken wing theft, #Chiefs DT Chris Jones offered to pay for the missing poultry

Charity is commonly seen in NFL players looking to impact their community and the world overall using funds and notoriety earned from their pro-level gameplay.

This is perhaps a more interesting example of generosity, however, because Kansas City Chiefs tackle Chris Jones has volunteered to cover the $1.5 million in chicken wings that were stolen from Harvey School District 152 in Illinois by then-employee Vera Lidell.

Jones posted this tweet, revealing that he appears to be serious about ensuring that the elder school district worker who diverted food she ordered for the school to her home is forgiven for the scheme where she was able to make off with 11,000 cases of chicken wings between 2020 and 2022.

Lidell has already been convicted of the theft and was sentenced to a 9-year prison term, so it will be interesting to see how this arrangement could potentially lead to her release if Jones does put up the $1.5 million sum to cover the missing chicken wings.

Patrick Mahomes reveals Chiefs training camp pizza party tradition

Patrick Mahomes revealed that the Chiefs go out as a team to get pizza during training camp to build camaraderie after practice.

A nearly universal desire is to get a pizza after an exhausting day at work. The Kansas City Chiefs make it a yearly training camp tradition to head up the local St. Joseph Neapolitan-style pizzeria II Lazzarone.

The Chiefs go out as a team a few times during the camp after drills to build camaraderie ahead of the coming season and relax after their intense sessions at Missouri Western State University

“Don’t remember that for next year and try to storm up my party,” joked Patrick Mahomes as he talked about this year’s team outing after the penultimate day of practice, in this clip from the end-of-camp press conference posted by KCTV5’s Marleah Campbell on Twitter:

A team that trains this hard has to stay fueled up, it’s a safe bet the pizzeria was working that night the same way the Chiefs worked on the field at practice. See Kansas City’s defending champions back on the field at Arrowhead Stadium this Saturday against the Detroit Lions.
