Should Chiefs’ Marcus Peters Exclusively Match Up Against Opponents’ Top Receivers

... has never let one corner line up exclusively against one receiver, instead preferring his corners to stay on their respective sides. “It’s a philosophical decision,” Sutton said. “It has nothing to do with (Marcus).”. Sutton, who was on the New York Jets’ defensive staff when Revis was in his heyday, emphasized the latter part of that statement. When one corner commits to defending one particular receiver, it affects the assignments of the other 10 men on the field, too. “I think he was just such a unique player, just as far as eliminating a particular player — he could wipe them out,” Sutton said of Revis. “If you’re traveling with a player, everybody is involved. It’s not just one guy traveling — everybody has to go opposite. It’s got it’s own set of problems.”. Former Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer, family fight his Alzheimer’s with resolve, humor. Plus, letting each corner stay on their respective side — even if it allows a team like Pittsburgh to potentially avoid Peters — is a ...

As Tyreek Hill’s Profile Increases, Focus On His Abusive Past Shouldn’t Wane, Advocates Say

... recovery is to talk publicly about what this has meant to him personally and what it means to the victim. If we just hear he’s recovered without him demonstrating it publicly, and we just say, ‘OK, that’s enough, we’ll see you on the football field,’ then we’ve told those victims they don’t matter and that he’s the one who matters more.”. In September, Hill’s victim filed a paternity suit in Payne County, Okla. According to the record, though, “both parties openly acknowledge paternity.”. She also requested to maintain custody of the child, a boy who turned one in July. “Respondent (Hill) has not ever seen the minor child,” according to the documents filed four months ago. “Any visitation with the minor child by Respondent should be supervised until such time as he can establish a relationship with the child and his domestic violence probation is complete.”. Hill’s probation continues until August 2018. While the Chiefs declined to make Hill available to reporters Friday, he said in November that : “I’m real dedicated, I’m going to stick to it so I can be a better man … a better father for my son.”. In December, the state of Oklahoma filed a petition seeking him to pay ...

Pittsburgh Steelers-kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers-dallas Cowboys

... wild-card game at Arrowhead Stadium. Pittsburgh is 10-7 at Kansas City, but the Chiefs won the last meeting, in 2015. Injury report: Steelers - Out - LB Anthony Chickillo (ankle). Doubtful - TE Ladarius Green (concussion). Questionable - DE Ricardo Mathews (ankle) and RB Fitzgerald Toussaint (concussion). Chiefs - None. Green Bay Packers (10-6) at Dallas Cowboys (13-3). When: 4:40 p.m., FOX. Why watch: QB Aaron Rodgers  has the Packers on a roll and they have become the scariest team in the playoffs. The Cowboys had a great regular season but how will that translate into the postseason for such a young team? The Cowboys will play without suspended DE Randy Gregory. Cornerback Morris Claiborne comes back Sunday but how will his rust affect the team. Series history: This is the 42 nd meeting in this ...

Chiefs-steelers Nfl Divisional Playoff Game Pushed Back By Winter Storm Jupiter

... consecutive Chiefs home game where the weather has at least been interesting, if not impactful. The Chiefs hosted the Oakland Raiders for a big Week 14 Thursday night divisional battle Dec. 8, with a kickoff temperature of only 21 degrees. That was the coldest game at Arrowhead since Dec. 26, 2010, and only the fifth time the Raiders played in temperatures colder than 25 degrees since 2000 , according to CBS Sports. (MORE: 5 Best and Worst Weather NFL Cities ). Just 10 days later, the cold outdid itself on Dec. 18. With a kickoff temperature of 1 degree, and a wind chill of minus 9, the Chiefs and Tennessee Titans played in the  record-tying coldest game in Arrowhead Stadium history , tying Dec. 18, 1983. Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota, born and raised in Honolulu and a University of Oregon alumnus, said before the game that it would " probably be the coldest game I've ever played. " Yet his Titans upset the Chiefs 19-17. After two straight teeth-rattling games, oddly enough, the concern for this Week 16 Christmas night game against the arch-rival Denver Broncos was for thunderstorms and strong winds. Fortunately, the severe thunderstorms, even a ...

The Simpatico Behind The Chiefs’ Four-year Rise From The Rubble To Success

... the value of his second contract. Now, Tamba Hali takes a smaller role and fewer snaps without complaint, Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West signed identical contract extensions, Houston and others visited Eric Berry during his cancer recovery, and Dee Ford does not even hint at disappointment from moving positions after he was so productive when Houston was injured. Winning masks a lot, of course. For instance, Jeremy Maclin might be frustrated about his lack of production , but he would never verbalize that in a 12-4 season. The Chiefs have not been perfect. They waited too long to sign Houston to an extension, costing millions in cap space. The drafts have been good, but far from perfect. The goal is win a Super Bowl, and the Chiefs are still two wins away from being there. But they’ve been pretty good. Four drafts have brought 12 players currently listed first on the offensive and ...

Is Dj Bobby Keys The Secret Good Luck Charm For The Chiefs And Royals

... Keys plays power songs as players walk up to the plate. “I can’t do that on offense in football because then our quarterback can’t hear,” he says. When the home team is on defense, he plays loud, fast rock music to get the crowd and the Chiefs amped up. “We want everybody screaming and drowning out (the other team’s) quarterback,” Keys says. Music drives the whole mood of the game, says Brad Young, the Chiefs’ senior producer of game and event entertainment. “It’s one of the most important things when it comes to watching a TV show, a movie — anything,” Young says. “Just imagine watching ‘Game of Thrones,’ but instead of ‘Game of Thrones’ music you put on Bruno Mars. Bruno is great, but that completely changes it.”. Young says football game presentations are scripted down to the second. The control room where he and Keys work is responsible for timing out every flyover, break, sponsor announcement and pyro explosion. The script for Sunday’s game is 41 pages long, and Keys has to know it backwards to nail every cue. That’s why DJing an NFL game is nothing like DJing a wedding, Young ...

Playoff Loss Ends Chiefs' Season On A Sour Note

... way to keep Berry? The veteran safety had one of his best NFL seasons. He ignited a fourth-quarter comeback in November against the Panthers with an interception and a spectacular return for a touchdown that included two spin moves on his way to the end zone. He was again a key figure in a win against the Falcons in December with his two interception returns. He is also their leader in the locker room. Everyone listens when Berry, a cancer survivor, speaks. He was the player who got in cornerback Marcus Peters' face on the sideline with some clear advice after Peters inexplicably punted the ball into the stands and picked up a penalty after a fourth-quarter fumble recovery against the Panthers. The Chiefs could make Berry the franchise player again, as he was in 2016. It’s going to cost them more than the $10.8 million it did last year, but Berry would be worth the franchise-player cost to the Chiefs in 2017 if he plays and leads like he did this season. Should the Chiefs retain Charles? ...

In Overcoming Cancer, Kansas City Chiefs Safety Eric Berry A Guide For Pitt's James Conner

... the chemotherapy would leave a bad taste in his mouth; to apply numbing cream before the medical port was implanted in his chest; to be aware that his urine would turn red; and to avoid eating his favorite foods during treatment, because he would get sick and never crave them again. (Conner initially disregarded that advice and hasn’t eaten Boston Market food since.) They also advised him on staying in shape during his treatments and positioning himself to return to the football field. Schmidt first connected with Conner over Twitter, and they finally met in person before Pitt’s win against Clemson, Schmidt’s alma mater, in November. While Schmidt and Berry don’t know each other, together they have created something of an athletic fraternity for Conner, showing him it is possible to return to competition on a high level after a cancer diagnosis, Schmidt said. “He’s starting on an NFL team, and at the same time he’s having an incredible year,” Schmidt, who is in the Detroit Tigers ...

Add Chiefs’ Loss To Steelers To List Of Playoff Heartbreakers In Kansas City

... from their own 36 to the Denver 28. But Grbac’s final pass intended for Lake Dawson in the end zone was incomplete. Lin Elliot game. Jan. 7, 1996: Colts 10, Chiefs 7. On a bitterly cold day at Arrowhead Stadium, fans saw a 13-3 season and No. 1 seed come to a bitter end. It started promisingly as Steve Bono and Dawson connected on a 20-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. But that was all the scoring for the Chiefs as kicker Lin Elliott missed three field goals, including a 42-yard attempt late in the game, and his name is mud among Chiefs fans. But the thing is … Bono threw three interceptions and the Chiefs lost a fumble. Colts quarterback Jim Harbaugh threw for just 112 yards with a touchdown in the second quarter and an interception.

An Open Letter To Chiefs Fans

... miss any of the action. -This one should be obvious but I still see too much of it: Don’t make noise when the Chiefs are on offense. Don’t cheer their decision to go for it on fourth down. Don’t do the Arrowhead Chop. Don’t extend your cheers over from the previous play. Quiet time. Six inch voices. Arrowhead Stadium is a venue that wins games for its team. You could say it has …a bit of a reputation. They tell me it’s gotten so loud before that some guy drank 142.2 Guinness’s or something. ("Some guy" is actually me on Sunday morning). But there were a few rumblings locally that Arrowhead wasn’t all that loud a few weeks ago during Thursday night’s game against the Raiders. Sure, it was loud, but it wasn’t "Arrowhead Loud." I was there. And frankly, I don’t disagree. We can be louder. It should be " John Elway refuses to snap the ball because the crowd is too loud " loud. (PS: This penalty was removed from the rulebook in 1994. Be as fucking loud as you want!). It should be make the ground shake, make your ears bleed, make your head hurt loud. I'm gonna do my part on Sunday. I’ll be the loud guy in red if you're looking. What I’m asking is that 76,415 of my ...
