Any NFL season is crucial for every single franchise in the league, but 2025 is shaping up as an epic one with epic consequences for the Kansas City Chiefs. Off the back of a crushing Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chiefs find themselves at a precarious point in their franchise’s history: they could continue their dynasty or fall apart at the seams. At the forefront of all of that are Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
The latter, in particular, has a ton riding on this upcoming season. At 35 years old, Kelce made the decision to return to the team for at least one more year, foregoing a possible retirement. If the Chiefs had won the Super Bowl, Kelce may have rode off into the sunset, but he couldn’t let that sour taste remain in his mouth as he closed the book on his playing career. While it’s fantastic for Kansas City that one of their team captains and leaders is back, Kelce’s play on the field last season signaled a big decline.

Patrick Mahomes says Travis Kelce’ body feels better in 2025 than he did in 2024
Fans don’t know what to expect from Kelce this season, especially since he’s turning 36 mid-season and showed his age in 2024. While a firsthand report from OTAs in May won’t tell next season’s story, Mahomes has given Chiefs fans plenty of hope with his comments on Kelce’s current status.
Former Kansas City QB Alex Smith weighs in on the future of Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs
If it’s the last ride, you would never know. The way he’s talking about football, the way he’s talking about working and trying to be even better this year than he was last year. He doesn’t seem like a guy that it’s his last ride, like he’s tired of the job… I know his body feels good. I think it feels better than even last year, before going into last season.
The biggest thing to take away from Mahomes’ quote is that he believes Kelce is in a better place physically than he was at this point last year. That is crucial due to Kelce getting older. Bodies in the NFL tend to wear much faster the older you get, so Kelce feeling great means we could be getting a bounceback season on the gridiron.

Oklahoma escapes LSU, nears likely Playoff bid as Tigers await Lane Kiffin decision
No. 8 Oklahoma likely locked up a Playoff bid by avoiding an upset against LSU on Saturday. Stacy Revere / Getty ImagesA fourth-quarter comeback by Oklahoma all but locked up a College Football Playoff spot, as the No. 8 Sooners escaped disaster in a 17-13 home win over LSU on Saturday.While awaiting a decision from Lane Kiffin on where he will coach next season, the Tigers (7-5, 3-5 SEC) nearly disrupted the Playoff race. Oklahoma (10-2, 6-2) needed a 58-yard touchdown pass from quarterback John Mateer to wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III with just over four minutes remaining to avoid an upset that would have likely knocked the Sooners out of contention for an at-large CFP bid.

Foden is Man City’s star as Livramento becomes Newcastle’s playmaker
'Special' Foden star of Man City show Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Highlights from the Premier League clash between Manchester City and Leeds United With Erling Haaland on a three-game barren run - a drought by his standards - it is important Man City's other forwards stand up and be counted. The striker's wait for his 100th Premier League goals goes on, but Phil Foden added another two to his personal tally in the 3-2 win over Leeds in a season steadily growing in grandeur. Pep Guardiola called Foden "special" post-match, and said City are not a team to win "these types of games a lot". When City concede control, as they did in a chaotic second half against Leeds, they often end up losing. It has happened twice in the last week alone. But […]
Ryan Day, Ohio State Staff Stop Buckeyes From Planting Flag After Michigan Win
Ohio State finally got its revenge against rival Michigan, and Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day made sure it didn’t come with chaos.Last year’s postgame melee in Columbus set the tone for Saturday’s tension. After Michigan planted its flag at midfield, pepper spray was deployed and Buckeye fans hurled obscenities at Day following a fourth straight loss, the rivalry hit one of its ugliest points in recent memory. But this time, with a 27-9 win in hand, Ohio State coaches weren’t about to let anything overshadow a statement victory.Moments after the final whistle, senior cornerback Davison Igbinosun and freshman cornerback Devin Sanchez were spotted carrying a flag toward the Block "M," seemingly ready to return Michigan’s gesture from a year earlier. Before they could take another step, Day and team staff intervened, shouting "No, no, no!" and shutting down the attempt […]

TKV claims British heavyweight title with brutal points win over Clarke
Jeamie TKV defeated Frazer Clarke by split decision to claim the vacant British heavyweight title after a bruising 12-round battle in Derby.TKV weathered Clarke's early bombardment, grew into the contest, and delivered sustained punishment of his own, with a thunderous left hook nearly ending the fight in a remarkable 11th round. The Olympic bronze medallist somehow staggered back to his stool and dug deep into his fighting instincts to prevent his corner from throwing in the towel, valiantly battling through the final round. But TKV, who had a point deducted earlier for repeated low blows, had already inflicted enough damage. Two judges scored the bout 115-113 and 115-112 in his favour, while the third judge had it 115-112 for Clarke.After a draw and a defeat against WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley, Clarke's third attempt at the British title ended in […]
Pittsburgh Steelers Week 13 Preview: A Herd of Buffalo
The Pittsburgh Steelers 2025 season has six games remaining and three of those will be played in Pittsburgh while the other half of the games has Pittsburgh taking to the road. It begins in week 13 of the season with the Buffalo Bills coming to Acrisure Stadium. This game should take the form of a playoff matchup for both teams, as Pittsburgh and Buffalo are not just fighting for a shot at the postseason but possibly winning their respective divisions. Which team is a victory more important for? Certainly, that question should be geared more towards the Steelers. Currently tied with the Baltimore Ravens for first place, Pittsburgh has an extremely crucial game in Baltimore following the Bills game. Buffalo finds themselves two full games behind the red hot first place New England Patriots and how New England has been […]
