Chiefs Expected To Return To 'Free-Wheeling' Offense In 2025
Chiefs Expected To Return To 'Free-Wheeling' Offense In 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs' offense in 2025, for most, has a couple of question marks around it, one being the offensive line, but also, can Patrick Mahomes' weapons stay healthy? The drop-off in production last season could be attributed to a host of things, but the main reason was that Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown both missed significant chunks of time due to injury and never were on the field together. That should change. The run game with Isiah Pacheco has also been in the spotlight with the running back fighting back from injury last season, but when he returned, he failed to produce as we know he can. When looking at the Chiefs' "triplets" as CBS Sports' Jared Dubin calls them, of Mahomes, Rice, and Pacheco, when ranking all 32 teams' top three weapons, Dubin has Kansas City at No. 5. "This is the lowest the Chiefs have ranked since Mahomes' first season as the starter," Dubin writes. "They've were ninth prior to his debut, and have since checked in second, first, first, second, fourth, second and first before falling to fifth this season. If you ask me, it's too low. "People are ascribing a drop-off to the team that, in my opinion, was caused by offensive line play and injuries (to both Pacheco and the entire wide receiver corps). I think we see Kansas City get back to a more free-wheeling, wide-open offense this season and jump back near the top of the rankings a year from now." There's every reason to suggest that we will see a significant bounce-back from Andy Reid's offense this upcoming season. Yes, they still won 15 games last year, but we don't expect that to happen again. But what we do expect is for the offense to score more than 22.6 points per game (ranked 15th), and for Mahomes to average more than 245 passing yards per game. If his weapons are healthy, both should see a serious uptick in improvement. Many are doubting the Chiefs in 2025, with some thinking they are about to fall off the proverbial cliff, but with a top-five offensive trio in their ranks, we bet they might just surprise a few people this season.

Matthew Stafford's return named most impactful move in 2025 offseason
The Los Angeles Rams could have had a completely different 2025 outlook if Matthew Stafford decided not to return to the team. While there were rumors that the quarterback would want to leave without a pay raise, Stafford ultimately signed a new deal with the team to remain in L.A. The decision had a ripple effect on the Rams and the rest of the league, as teams who were interested in Stafford had to look elsewhere while the Rams could focus the rest of the offseason on finding talent to add around him. Therefore, it shouldn't be a surprise that CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan named Stafford's return as the most impactful move of the 2025 NFL offseason. With Stafford, L.A. is in the Super Bowl conversation thanks to the continued presence of Sean McVay, along with an emerging defense. Without him, the Rams likely would've been forced to look at other options like Jimmy Garoppolo, Aaron Rodgers, or some draft prospect. Regardless of who would've been under center, Los Angeles would've been categorically worse and nowhere close to the Super Bowl ceiling it currently possesses. Stafford is the tide that raises all boats in L.A. Why do you think the Rams immediately turned around and won a Super Bowl the year he joined the team? In any event, the Rams have their short-term plan at quarterback locked in for at least 2025, and they'll continue to push all the chips into the middle of the table to try and bring home another Lombardi Trophy before Stafford's time in the NFL is up.

NFL Fans React To Washington Commanders' New Uniforms
NFL Fans React To Washington Commanders' New Uniforms originally appeared on The Spun. When the Washington Commanders first rebranded several years ago they also made a number of sweeping changes to their uniforms that largely shied away from their past. But some new uniforms that the team introduced today will be embracing their storied history. On Wednesday, the Commanders unveiled their new uniforms for the coming season. It's an almost thread-for-thread replica of their old uniforms, featuring a strong blend of burgundy, gold and white. "Weaving past and present We're adding back the Super Bowl Era threads to our uniform rotation," the team announced. The uniforms will be worn for three games to celebrate their Super Bowl wins. They will be worn on Sunday Night Football in Weeks 9 and 13 against the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos respectively, and in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas. "Throwing it back. Running it forward," the team announced. But as is so often the case, diehard fans of the Washington Commanders weren't satisfied with the change. Many have taken to the comments to once again demand that the team be restored to its previous nickname or logo: "I love the unis, we just need the logo back some folks can argue the name is what it is but to me it is racist that we can't honor natives by using the old logo. What is racist about the logo? Indians logo was racist lol. Not a image of a actual native tho," one user argued. "Only 3 games out of 17??? Come on guys nobody wants to see that other white uniform ever again. This should be our full time helmet and make the burgundy uniform match," wrote another. "I suggest Josh Harris and his group request reps from native American tribes across the country to help the team come up with an acceptable way to honor them with a new name, logo and imagery. As smart as Harris is, can't help but think they'd be able to work something out." "You guys nailed it, although it shouldn't have ever left. Feels like home again!" It seems like the ship may have sailed on restoring Washington's nickname. But with the way they played last year, returning to the glory days isn't out of the Fans React To Washington Commanders' New Uniforms first appeared on The Spun on Jul 9, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 9, 2025, where it first appeared.
