Arrowheadlines: The Chiefs defense had a tough night
The latestLoser: Chiefs Run Defense Unreliable offensive line play, especially along the interior, was one of Seattle's biggest problems in 2024. On Friday, the Seahawks' first- and second-team units looked like one of the best in the NFL. The Seahawks racked up 174 rushing yards before intermission and 268 in total. That reflects well on Seahawks running backs like Zach Charbonnet, George Holani and Damien Martinez—along with rookie guard Grey Zabel—but it also highlights how poorly Kansas City's run defense performed. Kansas City was regularly blown off the line of scrimmage, while linebackers struggled to close on ball-carriers. It's safe to say that the Chiefs have plenty to clean up defensively between now and Week 1. | Tonyan makes most of opportunity. Tight end Robert Tonyan had a nice showing as the veteran addition is looking to solidify a spot in the Chiefs' TE room. He surely made his case. On a third-and-goal from the 1-yard line, Gardner Minshew was forced to scramble to his right and managed to sneak the ball to Tonyan, who quickly faked a Seahawks defender for a score. He finished the night with five receptions for 41 yards. Listed as the fourth-string TE on Kansas City's depth chart, Tonyan is certainly fighting for a spot behind Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and rookie Jake Briningstool. After playing for three different squads in the NFC North over the course of the last three seasons, Tonyan made his case that he could contribute when called upon. 2025 NFL preseason Week 2: Takeaways, analysis | ESPN Chiefs: All four of the Chiefs' prominent rookies on defense — tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, end Ashton Gillotte, cornerback Nohl Williams and linebacker Jeffrey Bassa — struggled with extending playing time Friday. The Chiefs' defense gave up huge chunks of rushing yards in the first half as Norman-Lott and Gillotte weren't able to make much of an impact. Bassa, who was a star in the preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals, was exploited by the Seahawks' misdirection plays. Williams showed his physicality again, but he left the game in the third quarter with a concussion. — Nate Taylor NFL initially proposed double-digit game suspension for Chiefs' Rashee Rice, per report | CBS Sports However, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reported on Friday that the league initially proposed a double-digit game suspension for Rice that would've sidelined him for at least half of the season. The NFL Players Association, along with Rice's attorney and agent, lobbied for a much shorter suspension, arguing that there is no precedent for suspending a player half the season in a similar case, according to Pelissero. It's also possible a settlement could be reached before the start of the season, according to the report, that would suspend Rice for the start of the 2025 campaign as opposed to after the hearing at the end of next month. Around the NFL 4 NFL trades that should happen before the regular season | SB Nation Adam Thielen to the Minnesota Vikings It's wild to look at the Vikings as a team that needs receiver help, but here we are. The paramount concern for Minnesota this year is to get J.J. McCarthy started off on the right foot, and that will be extremely difficult with Jordan Addison serving a three game suspension, and now Rondale Moore suffering a season-ending knee injury. As it stands the opening day receivers for Minnesota will be Justin Jefferson, Tai Felton, and Jalen Nailor in the slot. That's a bad, bad unit. Enter an old friend in Adam Thielen. The Carolina Panthers love Thielen, but they have a problem of their own at receiver: They have too many to know what to do with. All signs point to Tetairoa McMillan being their No. 1, with Xavier Legette across from him, and Thielen in the slot. That leaves 2024 breakout UDFA Jalen Coker, Hunter Renfrow, and promising rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. all riding the pine. The Panthers have often said Thielen is their veteran leadership, glue guy — but depending on how the front office feels about the maturity of the unit, Thielen could be expendable. He would be an ideal fit for Minnesota as a bridge WR, who can offer punch on the outside immediately, and transition to the slot when Addison returns. Titans' Ward happy for 'more reps' in shaky preseason start | ESPN The second preseason game wasn't kind to rookie quarterback Cameron Ward and the Tennessee Titans' first-team offense Friday night. Ward completed only two of his seven pass attempts for 42 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Tennessee's 23-20 win. Titans coach Brian Callahan planned to have Ward play two series. But that changed after the offense struggled on the first two series. 'I wanted to send them back out there,' Callahan said after the game. 'I think just the play number was still low. Those penalties kind of knocked us out of some of those favorable down distances and we didn't convert third downs, and so we wanted to get them one more series because the play count was still relatively low. So, I felt like it was good for him to go back out there.' In case you missed it on Arrowhead Pride4. Jalen Royals is a viable option at kick returner One of Friday's few bright spots was Kansas City's kick returners. Skyy Moore not only managed to catch a punt, but also — somehow — returned it for a touchdown. While it was the special teams' highlight of the night, we need to be honest: it was too little, too late. But Jalen Royals taking his lone kickoff return back for 49 yards — and nearly taking it to the house — is another thing entirely. A week ago, Royals showed himself to be a capable receiver on offense. If he can also win the kick returner job, the battle that's now taking place in the Chiefs' wide receiver room will become very interesting for players like Nikko Remigio.

Transfer news, rumors: Eze, Savinho to Tottenham Hotspur heating up
The latest transfer news surrounding Eberechi Eze is very promising for Tottenham Hotspur fans, while a possible move for Savinho to Spurs is heating up too. According to multiple reports from Fabrizio Romano, David Ornstein and Sacha Tavolieri, Eze has told Palace he wants to move to Spurs and he has already agreed personal terms, while he is not expected to play for Palace against Chelsea on Sunday. Per the report from Ornstein, Palace have already reached out to Leicester City about signing Moroccan winger Bilal El Khannous as Eze's replacement. While Romano also revealed that Spurs remain in talks with Manchester City over signing Brazilian winger Savinho too, as Pep Guardiola has said Savinho is injured for the next few weeks but the City winger posted a photo of himself in the gym to further stir the speculation pot. It has been reported that Eze could sign for Spurs for close to $90 million, while City want over $81 million for Savinho but Spurs have offered far less. So far. Eze and Savinho a huge upgrade for Spurs After already signing Mohammed Kudus this summer, Spurs have a clear recruitment strategy: buy players who are tricky, direct and full of creativity. Thomas Frank's side were organized for the majority of their Super Cup final defeat on penalties to PSG in midweek, and the only real issue was creating chances from open play and looking dangerous on the break. If Eze and Savinho arrive, that problem would be solved. Both suit Frank's style extremely well and if Spurs have the money to make this happen it makes them serious contenders to challenge for a top four finish in the Premier League.
