8 studs from Chiefs’ loss to Packers in Week 13

These eight players stood out as top performers for the #Chiefs during Kansas City’s Week 13 loss to the #Packers.

The Kansas City Chiefs saw victory slip through their hands during their Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, plenty of players put together admirable performances that set a good tone for the team, despite the loss.

Injuries played a key factor in the matchup’s outcome, and several Chiefs stepped up in a tight spot to give Kansas City a chance to make a late-game comeback. If not for a few questionable calls on the final drive of the Sunday Night Football showdown, the Chiefs may have been able to overcome the severe adversity they faced in the game to complete a come-from-behind win at Lambeau Field.

Though some pundits will choose to focus on what Kansas City didn’t do in this tilt, the intrigue in watching the Chiefs’ backups compete was worth tuning in for, even if they were behind the eight-ball in all four quarters.

Check out which players were Kansas City’s studs in Week 13:

10 studs from Chiefs Week 9 win over Dolphins in Germany

These 10 players helped lift the #Chiefs to victory against the #Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany was an instant classic that is sure to be revisited by fans as the defending Super Bowl champions look to bring home another title later in the season.

Though Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense struggled in the second half, their performance through the game’s first two quarters was admirable, and Kansas City’s defense played one of its best games of the season.

Several Chiefs stood out as top performers in the game, and as Kansas City enters its bye week ahead of its Super Bowl LVII rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, the team seems primed for something special in the back half of its 2023 campaign.

There remains room for improvement on both sides of the ball, but after securing a gritty win against Miami, arguably the AFC’s best team, the sky is the limit for the Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs earned their second win of the 2023 season against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, leaving no doubt about which team on the field was a true contender.

While Chicago was completely overwhelmed in the game, Kansas City managed to outshine the presence of country music superstar Taylor Swift, who attended the game in box seats courtesy of All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce.

Wins like the one the Chiefs secured against the Bears don’t come easy, even if they come against the team that held the first overall pick in April’s draft. A multitude of Kansas City’s players turned out spectacular performances to make the 41-10 result possible, and their efforts shouldn’t go unnoticed, even if Swift’s attendance stole the show in the media.

Studs and duds in Patriots’ season-opening loss to Eagles

Here are the studs and duds from the Patriots’ season-opening loss to the Eagles.

The New England Patriots came within a drive of shocking the sports world on Sunday by knocking off the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles, but far too many mistakes and a failure to execute down the stretch cost them.

This game will feel like the one that got away for the team, especially after they watch the film and see all of the plays they left on the field. However, it could also be viewed as a building block for an improved effort in 2023.

The offense looks like it’s finally in a good place under Bill O’Brien, and Mac Jones is playing with the utmost confidence. Meanwhile, the defense held an elite quarterback in Jalen Hurts to only 170 passing yards and one touchdown in the 20-25 loss.

Here are the studs and duds from the game.

11 studs from Chiefs’ preseason Week 3 win vs. Browns

These 11 #Chiefs put together great performances in Kansas City’s win against the Cleveland #Browns on Saturday.

The Kansas City Chiefs are going to have a tough time deciding which players they should cut ahead of the 2023 regular season, and Saturday’s win against the Cleveland Browns didn’t make things any easier. The team saw several exciting prospects make their case for a spot on Kansas City’s 53-man roster but with so few spots and so many standouts, general manager Brett Veach is in a tricky situation.

A plethora of players made their case for a chance to compete for the Chiefs in the regular season, and several had particularly strong showings against Cleveland on Saturday in Kansas City’s final exhibition matchup of the preseason.

8 studs from Chiefs win vs. Cardinals in preseason Week 2

The Kansas City Chiefs secured their first win of the 2023 preseason against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, managing to redeem themselves after suffering a heartbreaking loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 1.

While the preseason victory won’t count toward their effort to get back to the Super Bowl, the progress that Kansas City made against Arizona is sure to help the Chiefs as the regular season inches closer.

Several of the team’s lesser-known players stood out in the fantastic effort against Arizona and may have helped their case to earn a roster spot ahead of the NFL’s cut day later in August.

A strange ending left the Kansas City Chiefs with a 26-24 loss against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1 of the preseason, but not all was lost in the game.

These exhibition matchups are mostly about individual evaluation rather than team performance, so it’s a good thing that several of Kansas City’s promising prospects showed out and impressed during the hard-fought tilt.

Below are the Chiefs players who were studs, not duds, in the first week of the preseason:

Stars, studs and duds from Packers’ 2022 season

The stars, the studs and the duds from the Green Bay Packers’ 2022 season.

The Green Bay Packers fell well short of expectations in 2022, finishing 8-9 with no playoff appearance after winning 13 games each of the first three seasons under Matt LaFleur.

A big reason for the decline: a few of the team’s most important or valuable players didn’t perform up to expectations.
