THE SEQUEL WAS EVEN BETTER The Kansas City Chiefs once again defeated the San Francisco 49ers to claim Super Bowl LVIII. A defensive masterclass was complemented by a methodical offense which allowed the Chiefs to claim their 2nd consecutive Super Bowl, and 3rd under Patrick Mahomes.

THE SCRIPT SO GOOD IT NEEDED A SEQUEL The Kansas City Chiefs gear up for a rematch of Super Bowl LIV as they prepare to take on the San Francisco 49ers. Plenty of new faces make up the two sidelines, but only one team plays with a new identity. Does the new-look Chiefs' defense have the ability to keep up with the 49ers' arsenal of weapons? What should we expect from Brock Purdy? Who comes out on...

DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS The Kansas City Chiefs return to the Super Bowl following a dominant 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

BEEF ON WRECKED The Kansas City Chiefs extend their playoff dominance against the Buffalo Bills in a 27-24 victory at Highmark Stadium.

WHEN A STOPPABLE FORCE MEETS A MOVEABLE OBJECT The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers in a game. The Chiefs' reserves showed flashes while several key starters took the opportunity to recoup before the upcoming playoffs. Despite the low-scoring affair, at least there were fewer critical drops, right? We recap the game and preview the upcoming playoffs all on this week's episode!...

SECONDARY EDUCATION The Kansas City Chiefs rode 18 unanswered points en route to a 25-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Nothing stands out about Ja'Marr Chase's performance as he's completely locked down by the Chiefs secondary. Meanwhile, the Chiefs' offense limited turnovers and mistakes in an unspectacular but efficient outing. Now locked into the 3-seed, can the team find their rhythm he...

EVERYONE GETS COAL FOR CHRISTMAS It was more of the same as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 20-14 on a Christmas Day flop.

Can the Chiefs hang on and win the division? Tune in an...

BUFFALO, ZEBRA, AND A COMPLETE ZOO Another week, another game featuring sloppy offensive play and controversial officiating. What else is new? The Kansas City Chiefs fall to 8-5 on the heels of yet another game influenced by inconsistent officiating late in the 4th quarter. The question now is, who will take accountability and make improvements first: the wide receivers, the coaches, or the offici...

PACKING IT IN? The Kansas City Chiefs once again fail to play a complete game of football as they fall to the Green Bay Packers 27-19. Now on the home stretch, the Chiefs margin for error is incredibly slim with the offense continuing to be in shambles, key injuries on defense, and an upcoming game against the desperate Buffalo Bills on the horizon. The caution flag is out; can this team make it t...

IS THE CHIEFS OFFENSE BACCARA? It started ugly, but the Kansas City Chiefs rode a 31-3 run en route to their 8th victory of the season. For the first time all season, the Chiefs simultaneously clicked on offense and defense, thanks in part to rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice's breakout performance. Have the Chiefs figured out a winning formula in time to make an end of season run for the top seed...

THE GANG CAN'T CATCH A game the Chiefs controlled in all facets slipped through their hands in a 21-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Time and again the Chiefs dropped several passes, a touchdown, and ultimately the game.

CHIEFS, DOLPHINS FLOUNDER Chiefs Kingdom turned out in Frankfurt to cheer the team on to a 21-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins.

The Chiefs offense still leaves plenty to be desired, and at the halfway point of the season is there anything that ca...

DEAD BOLT Andy Reid continued his vice grip on the Los Angeles Chargers with a 31-17 victory at Arrowhead Stadium.

Has the return of Mecole Hardman brought a return to form for the Chiefs' offense? Will the arrival of Charles Omenihu continue to elevate...

STILL CAN'T BUCK THE TREND Old habits are hard to kick as the Chiefs make it SIXTEEN STRAIGHT over the Denver Broncos in a 19-8 contest. Kansas City grabs the win despite an...interesting performance by the offense. One third of the way through the season is a solid sample size to make general observations, so put on your oven mitts: these takes are HOT. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS •Rhys' hiccup debacle (1...

MEETING BUSINESS SKOLS AND METRICS The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Minnesota Vikings 27-20 to improve to 4-1 on the season.

TURBULANCE The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the New York Jets 23-20 to improve to 3-1.
