Ware is out. Only other RB other than West is Sankey. Reeves has a groin pull and won't be activated. Could be an interesting week.
Interesting stat. According to this he has actually had the same numbers this year. Probably just garbage time though. Say what? Stat of the week: Blake Bortles through 8 Weeks: 2015: 2-5 record, 55.7 completion percentage, 258.9 pass YPG, 15-8 TD-INT, 82.5 passer rating. 2016: 2-5 record, 60.0 completion percentage, 272.0 pass YPG, 12-9 TD-INT, 80.3 passer rating.
Adam TeicherESPN Staff Writer "I expect what I normally do. Dominate." -- Chiefs LB Justin Houston when I asked him what he expected from himself in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Houston will play this season for the first time on Sunday after having off-season knee surgery.
Alex Smith needs to pull his head out of his ass. At some point the offense is going to have to start helping out the defense a little bit. That said, great comeback against a tough team. Those first 3 quarters were frustrating as hell. Houston hopefully makes his comeback next week only makes us that much better. Good to see Dee Ford turning into a player.
Former Southwest Airline employee named as shooter in OKC airport murder Rick Jervis , USA TODAY1:45 p.m. EST November 16, 2016 TWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMORE The man who shot and killed the father of an NFL player at Oklahoma City's Will Rogers World Airport is a former employee of Southwest Airlines, police said Wednesday. Perched on the fourth floor of a five-story parking garage, Lloyd Dean Buie, 45, used a rifle to shoot Southwest Airlines employee Michael Winchester, 52, from around 50 yards away, Oklahoma City Police Capt. Paco Balderrama said at a news conference. The attack occurred just before 2 p.m. ET Tuesday as Winchester, a former punter for the University of Oklahoma Sooners, walked to his car after work. He was later pronounced dead at an area hospital. Buie then shot himself. Police found him in a red pickup truck with a gunshot wound to the head. It was not clear whether the suspect used the same rifle to kill himself. Buie had resigned from Southwest Airlines in April 2015. He knew the path airline employees took between the main terminal and the employees parking lot, leading investigators to believe Buie planned the attack, Balderrama said. Winchester was shot as he walked to his car after leaving work, he said. He was not Buie's immediately supervisor. Balderrama said Buie drove to the airport Tuesday with the intent to kill someone. He likely used some sort of scope on the rifle and was probably familiar with the weapon. "You don’t have to be an expert marksman to hit a 50-yard shot, but it's not an easy shot either," he said. "We do not know if Mr. Winchester was the intended victim," Balderrama said, "but it is possible the suspect acted in retaliation against the circumstances leading up to his resignation." Authorities temporarily closed the airport Tuesday as they combed the grounds for additional suspects or victims. Police are reviewing surveillance video at the airport and searching Buie's home for further clues as to his motive. Buie had filed for bankruptcy in September after being out of work for more than a year, according to The Oklahoman website. He reported $150,800 in assets and $254,761 in liabilities, including a mortgage, an auto loan and thousands of dollars in unpaid credit card bills, the news site said. “Debtor has not worked since May 2015,” the petition stated. Winchester was a former punter for the University of Oklahoma Sooners football team from 1984 to 1986 and played for the university's national championship team. Southwest Airlines confirmed that he was an airline employee. He is also the father of an NFL football player, James Winchester, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. “It is with great sorrow that Southwest Airlines confirms that a Southwest employee who was injured during a shooting incident today at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City has died from injuries. We continue to work with the local authorities investigating this incident. As a result of the police investigation, local flight operations have been halted," Southwest said in a statement. "The Southwest Airlines Family is deeply saddened by the passing of our Southwest Family Member, and we extend our heartfelt sympathies and support to his family and Southwest co-workers at this time.” The airport handles between 7,000 and 8,000 passengers daily for Alaska, Allegiant, American, Delta, Southwest and United airlines. The airport is also a major transfer center for federal inmates, but its terminal is in a separate building. A jet carrying inmates to the transfer site was allowed to land Tuesday while the rest of the airport was shuttered. Joe Castiglione, director of athletics for the University of Oklahoma, tweeted, "Our hearts are truly heavy for the entire Winchester Family.

Adam TeicherESPN Staff Writer CB Marcus Peters did not practice because of a hip pointer but the Chiefs don't appear concerned he will miss Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. The Chiefs also practiced without NT Dontari Poe (knee), WR Jeremy Maclin (groin), DL Jaye Howard (hip) and linebackers Derrick Johnson (hamstring) and Tamb Hali (knee). Adam TeicherESPN Staff Writer A sign that Justin Houston will play for the Chiefs on Sunday: He was a full practice participant for the first time.
Just a rule I hadn't heard of before but makes sense. http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/...vents-teams-from-using-penalties-to-win-games
Sure would be nice to get healthy. Team has been banged up at key positions all year. Get Maclin and Ford back and I'll be happy. I don't expect anything from Jamaal if he returns. Love the hell out of him, maybe my favorite Chief ever alongside DT, but anyone who expects him to be anywhere near the old JC coming off another ACL is fooling themselves.
Adam TeicherESPN Staff Writer WR Jeremy Maclin and LB Dee Ford are back to practice today for the Chiefs. Both may be limited in their participation.
I didn't think the Chiefs had that type of game in them. From the offense to Reid riverboat gambling, amazing.
Eric Berry still has it. 2 strong games in a row. Oh, and Andy Reid is a magician. Line up on 4th and 1 and force them to burn the time out and then use that time out to put in the fake punt that went for a TD.
Yeah. I was like sweet 13:00 in the 3rd and already took a time out. This could be big. Then he gave us all a big red mustache ride.
Everyone was at practice yesterday. Adam TeicherESPN Staff Writer The Chiefs could have all of their 53 players available to them on Thursday night against the Raiders. Four of their five players on their injury report, including WR Jeremy Maclin, were full practice participants. The fifth, LB Tamba Hali, was limited because of sore knees but that's a common occurrence for him. Hali will be available to play on Thursday.
Heading out there tomorrow afternoon to tailgate, going to be wearing a ridiculous number of layers. Praying my tailgate's heater doesn't break down.
Pro tip: get a cardboard box from concessions to stand on. Atleast the stadium will be sold out unlike that Dolphins game a few years back where it was 10 degrees and the stadium was not even half full.
even though I thought we could beat Denver 2 weeks ago I was expecting a loss, it's just the way it has gone with tem recently....QB be dammed. Then get the win and have to play at red hot ATL the next week, let down game vs playoff team, most likely a loss, then we won and I am excited. Now after years of owning the Raiders I still expect a win no matter what the pundits say so naturally we will lose. I do like to see it will be very cold as I watch from my back patio by the pool in shorts.
think i'm gonna get a ticket for tomorrow. never been to arrowhead at night how big a cluster would it be around 4:30? I'm thinking of ubering out there to get dropped off and then hitch a ride back home with a buddy after the game
