NFL concluded today that Chiefs WR Rashee Rice “has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy” and the investigation into accusations from his former girlfriend is now closed; there will be no discipline at this time. Statement from his attorney Sean Lindsey: “Mr. Rice wants to thank the NFL for their thorough investigation, and looks forward to the start of the 2026-27 NFL season.”

Since Steve DeBerg, Gary Kubiak (Klint's dad) and John Elway snuck Denver into '83 playoffs, only one team has reached the postseason with a rookie QB drafted No. 1 overall: The 2012 Colts (Andrew Luck). Since the Colts drafted Elway at No. 1 in '83 and dealt him to Denver, teams have selected 25 QBs No. 1 overall.

In 2018, the Chiefs’ offense led the league with 248 plays of 15-plus yards. In 2025, they had 115 such plays. In 2024, they only managed 105. An explosive running game matters in Kansas City.
