ESPN predicts the Chiefs returning to the Super Bowl in a rematch vs. the Eagles
ESPN predicts the Chiefs returning to the Super Bowl in a rematch vs. the Eagles
ESPN's Seth Walder recently revealed the latest 'Football Power Index' rankings. He lists the Kansas City Chiefs second, behind the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
'Two of the past three Super Bowls have been between Kansas City and Philadelphia,' wrote Walder. 'Will it be three of four? The 4.2% chance of a Super Bowl LIX repeat is the greatest of any combination of teams in our Super Bowl matchup projections, slightly besting the 3.6% chances of Ravens- Eagles and Bills- Eagles matchups. Top combinations are listed below and rounded to the nearest whole number.'
ESPN's 'Football Power Index' is an early rating and projection model for the upcoming season, with all indications suggesting that last year's Super Bowl will be repeated in 2025. Last season, the Chiefs became the first team in NFL history to reach five Super Bowls in a six-season span.
Both teams made significant roster changes during the offseason, so the early prediction will likely change by midseason.

Former Broncos CB Ronald Darby Announces Retirement from NFL
Former Broncos CB Ronald Darby Announces Retirement from NFL originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Veteran cornerback and Super Bowl LII champion Ronald Darby has informed the Houston Texans that he intends to retire from the NFL, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Darby had signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Texans earlier in the offseason. Advertisement Darby's professional career spanned 10 years and stints with six different teams – the Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders (then, the Washington Football Team), Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars. Darby spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons with the Broncos, making 16 total appearances during that time span. Although he did not force any turnovers during his time in the Mile High City, he recorded 63 tackles and defended nine passes while playing in the team's secondary. New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (19) catches the ball over Denver Broncos cornerback Ronald Darby (21) during the second half at MetLife Carchietta-Imagn Images Over the course of his entire NFL career, Darby played in 118 games, where he made 419 tackles (including 354 solo stops) and defended 106 passes. He also picked off eight passes, returning them for 135 yards. Advertisement Darby received one major honor in the professional ranks – he was named to the Pro Football Writers of America's All-Rookie Team in 2015 – but his crowning achievement was earning a Super Bowl ring with the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2017 season. He played an important role the championship game, defending two passes (tied for the most of any player on the team) and making four tackles in the Eagles' eventual 41-33 win over the New England Patriots. The Bills selected Darby with the No. 50 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft after three strong seasons at Florida State. Darby won a BCS national championship with the Seminoles in 2013, while also being named the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year and a FWAA Freshman All-American the year before.

The 49ers complete trade to acquire edge rusher Bryce Huff from the Eagles for a mid-round pick
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers have completed the trade with the Philadelphia Eagles for edge rusher Bryce Huff. Huff restructured his contract with the Eagles last week to help facilitate the trade that will send a 2026 mid-round pick to Philadelphia and the teams announced it on Monday, pending a physical. Huff was set to make $17 million in fully guaranteed money this year. The Eagles will pay $9.05 million of that with the 49ers on the hook for the remaining $7.95 million, ESPN reported last week. The move to acquire Huff gives San Francisco another needed option at edge rusher across from star Nick Bosa and reunites Huff with Robert Saleh, who was his head coach at the New York Jets during his most productive season in 2023. Huff had 10 sacks that season and recorded 67 pressures on just 334 pass rush snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. Huff translated that breakthrough season into a three-year, $51.1 million deal with the Eagles. He had only 2 1/2 sacks and 23 pressures in his one season in Philadelphia, missing five games with a wrist injury. He was then a healthy scratch in the Super Bowl. Huff was originally an undrafted free agent by the Jets in 2020 out of Memphis. He had 7 1/2 sacks in his first three seasons before the breakthrough campaign under Saleh in 2023. The Niners were in need of another pass rusher after cutting Leonard Floyd early in the offseason. They drafted Mykel Williams 11th overall in April but had no other defensive end who had a season with at least five sacks in the NFL. Yetur Gross-Matos is the only other edge rusher on the roster with extensive experience. Gross-Matos had four sacks last season in his first year with San Francisco. The Eagles have undergone significant changes at edge rusher this offseason with Brandon Graham retiring and Josh Sweat leaving to sign with Arizona in free agency. Philadelphia is counting on increased contributions from returning players Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt and has also signed Azeez Ojulari and Joshua Uche in free agency. ___ AP NFL:

Broncos' Free Agent Signing Draws Comparison to Steve Atwater
Broncos' Free Agent Signing Draws Comparison to Steve Atwater originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Strong secondary play has been key to the Denver Broncos' success in recent seasons. With players like Patrick Surtain II and Brandon Jones currently on its roster, as well as Justin Simmons and Aqib Talib previously donning orange and blue jerseys, the Broncos have possessed a number of marquee names in its secondary. Advertisement This past offseason, the Broncos added another player in the upper echelon of NFL defensive backs in Talanoa Hufanga, who signed a three-year, $39 million contract with team in March. Even though he has yet to appear in a regular season game with the Broncos, Hufanga – and his explosive playing style – has received praise from one of the team's all-time greats: Steve Atwater, who has two Super Bowl rings, two First-Team All-Pro honors and a Pro Football Hall of fame bust to his name. 'I see it and I love it,' Atwater told The Denver Post's Troy Renck. 'You can't worry about what might happen when you are trying to make the tackle. You just have to do it. (Hufanga) absolutely brings it.' Hufanga is looking for a fresh start in Denver after injury-riddled seasons in his final two years with the San Francisco 49ers. He suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Week 11 of the 2023 campaign and was placed on injured reserve after suffering an injury to his wrist in 2024. San Francisco 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga (29) before the game against the Arizona Cardinals at Levi's Yamashita-Imagn Images Despite appearing in just 17 games over the past two years, Hufanga remained a productive presence in the 49ers' secondary when healthy. He made 90 tackles (including 59 solo stops), caught three interceptions and defended three passes during that time frame. Advertisement Hufanga, a fifth-round NFL Draft pick by the 49ers in 2021, has appeared in 49 career games and picked up three major honors during the 2022 season. In addition to being a First-Team All-Pro and a Pro Bowl selection, he was named the Polynesian Professional Football Player of the Year by the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame.
