Chiefs' Exciting Post Fuels Disappointment Instead
The Kansas City Chiefs had an incredible run in 2024, even though it ended in disappointment with a Super Bowl loss.

Kansas City finished the campaign with a 15-2 win-loss tally, the best record in the AFC and tied with the Detroit Lions for the best in the NFL. Their only losses came against the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos.
In the playoffs, they beat the Houston Texans and Bills en route to Super Bowl LIX. Unfortunately, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Cheifs in the final game 40-22, denying them of a three-peat victory.
Center Creed Humphrey was certainly pivotal for the Chiefs in their dominant campaign, though. In fact, he was rated by Pro Football Focus as the best center in the league ahead of the 2025 season.
That said, the Chiefs couldn't be any happier as well when Humphrey was voted among the Top 100 NFL players of 2025. The ranking, which was voted on by the players themselves, saw Humphrey land at No. 93.

"Creed Humphrey is the first Chief to crack this year's NFL Top 100," the Chiefs excitedly posted on social media.
However, instead of excitement, the Kansas City faithful expressed disappointment over Creed Humphrey's ranking. Several fans claimed that he deserved to be higher on the list, especially since he's considered by many as the best in his position.
"93 is wild for the best center in football," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "Are there 92 players better than him? The guy is one of a kind!"
A fan posted, "Best center in the league at 93 is INSANE."
"To[o] low on the list," a supporter remarked. A fifth follower echoed a similar sentiment, sharing, "He's sat too low."

A follower demanded, "He should be higher."
"93 ??????" a confused social media user added.
"Why do they hate us," a Chiefs fan asked, clearly disappointed.

It remains to be seen if another center will land on the Top 100 list and which other player from the Chiefs will make it. Regardless, it's clear that fans are not too happy with the rankings so far.

Boxer Chavez's appeal against arrest if deported from US rejected: Mexico prosecutor
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., whose sports career is on the decline at the age of 39, is alleged to have ties to the Sinaloa cartel (Harry How) Mexico's attorney general office said a court has so far rejected requests from boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to not be arrested in the event of his deportation from the United States, where he was detained for alleged drug trafficking ties. Chavez, a former world champion and the son of legendary Mexican fighter Julio Cesar Chavez, was arrested Wednesday in Los Angeles after authorities determined that he was in the country illegally. Advertisement His defense attorneys "have presented us" with "five or six injunctions" from the boxer "to have him released as soon as he arrives in Mexico," Attorney General Alejandro Gertz said at a press conference on Sunday. These injunctions were rejected because Chavez has not yet been handed over to Mexican authorities, he said. His deportation could be decided at an immigration hearing, which according to the defense team, will be held on Monday. Chavez, whose sports career is on the decline at the age of 39, is alleged to have ties to the Sinaloa cartel, one of six Mexican drug trafficking groups designated as terrorist organizations by the United States. Advertisement Following his arrest, US authorities announced Thursday that they were processing his "expedited removal" and referred to the charges against him in Mexico. The attorney general's office confirmed in a statement after his arrest last week that Mexico had issued an arrest warrant for Chavez in 2023 "for organized crime and arms trafficking." Chavez's defense team has rejected the accusations and maintained that his arrest seeks to "terrorize the community" amid raids against undocumented migrants. Chavez's arrest came days after his lopsided loss to YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in a cruiserweight bout before a sell-out crowd at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Advertisement Once a top-rated boxer, Chavez won the WBC middleweight world title in 2011 and successfully defended it three times. He owns a record of 54-7 with one draw, but his career has also included multiple suspensions and fines for failed drug tests. sem/das/abh/dhc
