Given the brutal schedule the Chiefs are facing, it will be much more difficult for the team to lock down homefield advantage than someone like Buffalo or Tennessee that has a much easier path. TAKE THE CHIEFS TO WIN THE AFC WEST (+155). While the personnel has changed a lot in the offseason, Andy Reid and his coaching staff have not. The fact the Chiefs aren’t even money or worse speaks to the talent in this division. Jan. 1 Definitely. Am I willing to put up as much as would be required to get a return?

Down 30-26 in the dying seconds, and forced to finish with 14 men after Luke Jacobson was shown a yellow card, the Chiefs needed a try and nothing else if they were to claim a victory to send them back into Super Rugby Pacific's top four. This week in Super Rugby Pacific, the Fijian Drua will meet the Crusaders at 7.05pm Friday, the Reds will take on Moana Pasifika at 9.45pm Friday, the Chiefs will play the Force at 4.35pm Saturday, the Rebels will face the Hurricanes at 7.05pm Saturday, the Blues will meet the Brumbies at 9.45pm Saturday, and the Waratahs will take on the Highlanders at 3.35pm Sunday.

Just as the Chiefs looked to be stalling, Ioane came up with a piece of brilliance in slicing up the middle, and a few phases later Samisoni Taukei'aho monstered his way over, then soon after the hour, Narawa scored from a brilliant individual effort, leaving Rebels scattered everywhere as he danced his way to the line. The Chiefs couldn't cash in on their one-man advantage, guilty of a couple of spills early in the second stanza, and in fact, it was the short-handed Rebels who struck, taking the lead when Ioane's pass went to ground and Andrew Kellaway swooped, the Wallabies winger hacking ahead and chasing through, and all of a sudden the Rebels were up 17-12. The Chiefs looked poised to be on the wrong end of a massive upset result, the Rebels of course coming off that 71-28 shellacking at the hands of the Blues at Eden Park the weekend prior, and coach Clayton McMillan must have been wondering what to make of his mix and match selection strategy for the encounter.

Melbourne's quest for Super Rugby Pacific redemption has fallen just short, with the Rebels going down to the Chiefs 33-30 in a Sunday afternoon thriller.

Wallabies playmaker Matt Toomua is on track for their trip to Wellington to face the Hurricanes after missing the past three weeks following a head knock. Melbourne led at the 47 minute mark after scoring two tries while they were a man down, with prop Pone Fa'amausili given a yellow card for some off-the-ball antics following a massive hit on Chiefs lock Naitoa Ah Kuoi. "We had a theme for the week 'Man in the Mirror' -- look at yourself in the mirror -- and I think the boys did that brilliantly."

Chiefs Naitoa Ah Kuoi lock is the unlucky possessor of some sore ribs now after their Super Rugby Pacific encounter with the Rebels. Despite being 116kg himself, he was no match for the 135kg Fa’amausili due to the fact that he was at a standing start. “We had a theme for the week ‘Man in the Mirror’ – look at yourself in the mirror – and I think the boys did that brilliantly.” “We need to do that for longer because at the moment we’re in and out of games too often.”

Clayton McMillan says his side need to replicate the energy they showed in the dying stages of their get-out-of-jail win against the Rebels, or face a ...

Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news. It was sort of summed up in the performance of first five-eighth Josh Ioane, who made a return after five games out with a rib injury. “But we know what he’s capable of, and he showed that at times today. So we're asking you to support us with more than your attention. And that potentially should have happened to us today.” And if you’re just fractionally off then you can pay the ultimate price.

The Waratahs and Rebels both losing from clear winning positions are more signs of an Aussie inferiority complex, writes Patrick McKendry.

The Chiefs were way off their game but knew they were the better team and just needed an opportunity. There was a botched Chiefs lineout on attack after a penalty which gave possession back, but once they somehow got it back and began launching their series of attacks in search of the try which would win them the game, the Rebels broke quickly and easily. The Brumbies and Waratahs have had their successes this season against their Kiwi rivals, but have had to play extremely well to do so.

The Miami Dolphins have had a huge offseason, signing and trading for impact players on both sides of the ball. Mike McDaniel and Chris Grier aren't done ...

In three postseason games, he recorded five combined tackles and two sacks. With this move, Ingram was offered a $4.4 million deal from the Chiefs that he could sign at any time. Mike McDaniel and Chris Grier aren't done making additions, however, as the Dolphins have agreed to terms on a deal with former Kansas City Chiefs pass-rusher Melvin Ingram, per Jordan Schultz and Sports Illustrated.

It looks like Kansas City will not be able to get their free agent defensive end back for 2022.

The Chiefs were widely expected to re-sign Ingram for 2022 — and on the Monday following the NFL Draft, they placed a rarely-used unrestricted free agent contract tender on him. Through nine regular-season games in Kansas City, Ingram accumulated 15 tackles (7 solo), a sack, a forced fumble, five quarterbacks hits and 11 pressures. Unhappy because he was seeing less playing time than he wanted in Pittsburgh, Ingram requested a trade.

The Kansas City Chiefs have lost out on free agent pass rusher Melvin Ingram after the Miami Dolphins signed him on Sunday.

From there, the Pittsburgh Steelers ended up signing him in July before training camp. It also gave the Chiefs the sole right to negotiate with him only if Ingram couldn’t reach a deal before training camp with someone else. This year, the Miami Dolphins convinced Ingram to sign, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, over the Chiefs.

His contributions completely changed the complexion of a defense that wasn’t looking so great to start the 2021 NFL season. Unfortunately, Ingram appears to be choosing to move on after playing a combined 12 games with the Chiefs in 2021. The Kansas City Chiefs are losing one of their top remaining free agents to the Miami Dolphins.

“But regardless, I think now it at least allows us a chance to have dialogue with them before they decide to do anything, if they decide to do something somewhere else.” Team situations change over time, and there might opportunities available later that aren’t present now. Earlier this month, they offered Ingram an unrestricted free-agent (UFA) tender, which made it so that if Ingram signed with another team before July 22 or the start of training camp, the Chiefs would be in line for a compensatory draft pick; because of that, the Chiefs are expected to receive a selection based on Sunday’s news.
