Patrick Mahomes Makes Strong Statement After Big Chiefs News
Even with the loss, the Mahomes-led Chiefs have created one of the best dynasties the NFL has ever seen. Since the former Texas Tech quarterback took over the starting role in 2018, Kansas City has played in five Super Bowls, winning three.

In celebration of the recent dynasty, ESPN revealed a new original series on Tuesday called "The Kingdom." The six-episode docuseries will likely premiere later in 2025 on ESPN and Disney+.
Per the Chiefs' official website, the docuseries will "explore the franchise's indelible and distinctive place in the NFL's landscape for more than six decades of history while offering an exclusive, revealing chronicle of the team's extraordinary 2024 season."

"Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs gave ESPN unfiltered access to our lives, on and off the field," Mahomes said. "The result is an incredible six-episode series called The Kingdom that showcases the true heart of our great city, the team, and what it takes to be a member of the Kansas City Chiefs."
The two-time NFL MVP went on to share more details about what the new series will cover.
"We dive into the history and legacy of the franchise, from the early days in Texas all the way to our third-straight Super Bowl appearance," Mahomes added. "And nobody captured all of that better than ESPN.
"It was an honor to be a part of this incredible project, and I can't wait for all of you to see it."
Despite the recent Super Bowl loss, Mahomes and the Chiefs expect to be right back in championship contention for the 2025 NFL season. The return of tight end Travis Kelce, along with retaining coach Andy Reid, will certainly help.

Arizona Cardinals OL Isaiah Adams names most outstanding player from preseason game
Adams continues to stack solid performances, and has taken them from the practice field to under the lights. The Arizona Cardinals had a number of players turn in good performances in the team's preseason opener last Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs. We named a few players who helped themselves in the 20-17 win. But who was the most outstanding player of the night for the Cardinals? According to Pro Football Network, it was right guard Isaiah Adams. The presumed starting right guard for the Arizona Cardinals, coming off just five starts as a rookie, much is expected from Isaiah Adams in year two. And in the preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, Adams proved the coaching staff correct with the sentiment that he can hold it down at that spot full-time. At 6'4″ and 315 pounds, Adams is known as a mover in the run game. While he showed that, he demonstrated an improved pass-blocking ability, making his presence more invaluable for the Cardinals. Adams continues to really establish him as the guy deserving to start. Even with Will Hernandez returning, Adams has been great all offseason and has received praise from head coach Jonathan Gannon multiple times publicly. It was just one preseason game, but he is stacking those performances from camp to under the lights. It is exactly what you want to see from a second-year player.

Patriots-Vikings joint practice prompts plenty of reunions and valuable tests, with no tussling
Soon after Mike Vrabel was hired as head coach of the New England Patriots earlier this year, his counterpart with the Minnesota Vikings, Kevin O'Connell, called with an invitation. Joint practice, our place. Just like we did it before. Two years after Vrabel brought the Tennessee Titans to Minnesota for some valuable training camp work against another team, he took the Patriots this week for two days of drills against the Vikings in advance of their preseason game. "There's a reason why the Patriots are here: It starts with their head football coach and their organization itself," said O'Connell, who's starting his fourth year in Minnesota. "I've got so much respect for Vrabes and our relationship over the years." O'Connell was a rookie backup quarterback with the Patriots in 2008, the last of eight seasons Vrabel played outside linebacker for them. Vrabel, a 14-year NFL veteran, coached the Titans for six seasons and spent 2024 as a consultant for the Cleveland Browns. Asked about his impression of O'Connell as a player, Vrabel was ready with a quip before the teams took the field on Wednesday afternoon. "He wasn't as good as Tom Brady," he said, with a deadpan expression. Vrabel and O'Connell were far from the only connections between the two teams. Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores spent 15 years with the Patriots organization in various roles. Stefon Diggs is the highest-profile Patriots player who previously was with the Vikings, but that list also includes backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs and center Garrett Bradbury. Bradbury, like his former head coach O'Connell, mentioned the word "relationships" when assessing his return to a facility where he trained for six seasons after being drafted in the first round in 2019 out of North Carolina State. "On one hand, it feels like I never left. On the other hand, I've got another jersey on and some new teammates," Bradbury said. "A lot of people here mean a lot to me and helped me the last six years, so it's good to see everyone again." Bradbury was released with one season left on his contract, part of Minnesota's push to revamp the interior of the offensive line after it was overwhelmed in the wild card round loss to the Los Angeles Rams that left O'Connell's playoff record at 0-2. He didn't want to leave, but he's found invigoration in his new surroundings. "I think it should be mandatory that everyone play for at least two organizations because you get to re-prove yourself, reinvent yourself," Bradbury said, recounting advice he received from a former player after he was let go. "You get to meet a lot of people, make awesome friends and see different ways of doing things." NFL coaches have grown to much prefer the controlled setting of joint practices over exhibition games during which to test their players against different opponents. When the Patriots hosted the Washington Commanders last week, a couple of fights occurred — and Vrabel even jumped into one scrum to try to break it up before emerging with a bloodied nose. The Patriots and Vikings had no such trouble, perhaps a sign of the respect between the two organizations. Because he felt the energy level was lacking, Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins said later, the eighth-year journeyman decided to punt the ball into the bleachers after a long touchdown pass from Drake Maye. Maye had plenty of pressure in full-team drills that likely would've resulted in sacks during games, but with no tackling allowed he was able to let several deep passes rip down the field that hit their intended targets. Former Vikings wide receiver Diggs caught one of them at the sideline with Pro Bowl cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. in coverage. Another one of the highlights went to rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson on a well-designed wheel route that offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels might well like to dial up again this season. "It's hard to catch him when he's in the open field," Maye said.
