| 12/13/24 | Dave Toub Grades Nikko Remigio's Performance in Season Debut. Down the stretch of the season, the Kansas City Chiefs will need every contribution they can get from just about every area of the roster. Offense, defense and special teams will all have to pull their weight if the AFC's current No. 1 seed wants to lock up that elusive first-round postseason bye. In Week 14's narrow win over the Los Angeles Chargers, the latter group did the bulk of the heavy lifting. Kicker Matthew Wright drilled all four of his field goal attempts in a game versus a critical division rival, and the return game was respectable on Sunday night.

| 12/10/24 | The Chiefs have 15 straight wins in one-score games. How do they get away with it?. Kansas City are 12-1 this season and most of those victories have been by a fine margin. But to dismiss the Super Bowl champions as merely fortunate is unfair The Kansas City Chiefs have been living a charmed life all season. Coming into Sunday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the two-time defending Super Bowl champions had already set an NFL record with victories in 14 straight one-score games. And their point differential of +54 was the worst of any 11-1 team in pro football history. Sunday night was more of the same. The Chiefs got out to a 13-0 lead, and it seemed for a split second that, for once, they would win a game comfortably. Then, the Chargers came back, and there were three lead changes in the fourth quarter – all on field goals. The game-winner was entirely typical for the Chiefs this season: a 31-yard attempt by backup kicker Matthew Wright, who is in for the injured Harrison Butker. Wright’s attempt hooked left, and looked for all the world that it would keep hooking left, leaving Andy Reid’s team on the wrong end of a 17-16 score.
