What I\u2019m hearing at the Super Bowl about Maxx Crosby, Bill Belichick, Travis Kelce and more | The Athletic<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 Kelce was seen bouncing around San Francisco parties and events, even as the soon-to-be-married man\u2019s next move remains uncertain. While retirement has been discussed, many close to him believe he could return for at least one more season. A final decision has yet to be made, but a 14th season is looking more real than ever.<\/p>\n Here are the top five reasons the Chiefs aren\u2019t playing in this year\u2019s Super Bowl | Kansas City Star<\/a><\/p>\n 1. Fourth quarter flops<\/p>\n As I said, the list could grow long. But let\u2019s start with the story of the Chiefs\u2019 season.<\/p>\n For seven years, their magic had been turning early deficits into late wins.<\/p>\n This year? Poof. The magic was gone.<\/p>\n In the 14 games Patrick Mahomes started, the Chiefs had at least a 50% win probability in the fourth quarter in 12 of them. Yet they were 6-8 and gone from the playoff picture by early December. They couldn\u2019t close out a win. They couldn\u2019t come back from a deficit.<\/p>\n \u201cIt just flipped on us,\u201d head coach Andy Reid said of one-score games.<\/p>\n Kansas City Chiefs fans have allegiances on both sides of Super Bowl LX between Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots | A to Z Sports<\/a><\/p>\n When Kansas City acquired QB Matt Cassel in a trade with the Patriots in 2009, then 33-year-old\u00a0Mike Vrabel<\/a>\u00a0was a throw-in on the deal. He played his final two NFL seasons with the Chiefs, starting 30 games for the team. During that span, he recorded 100 total tackles, four tackles for loss, two sacks, seven passes defended, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. He was also used in the red zone on offense at times, catching two passes for three yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t glamorous, as Vrabel only won 14 of those 30 games played with the Chiefs, but it was more than an asterisk at the end of a great NFL playing career.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember being a team that was [4-12] one year and 10-6 the next one \u2014 won the division \u2014 I was proud of that,\u201d\u00a0Vrabel said back in 2019<\/a>. \u201cThe fans \u2014 I remember the fans. The Hunt family \u2014 great people. It was a great place to finish up my career, a great town, the kids loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n Former Chiefs LB Darron Lee charged with 1st-degree murder in Tennessee | KSHB 41<\/a><\/p>\n Lee was charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. Additional charges could be pending following the outcome of the investigation, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n Upon arrival, first responders located a female victim and attempted life-saving measures.<\/p>\n \u201cDue to the condition of the victim and the residence, HCSO Criminal Investigative Services Detectives responded. Preliminary findings indicate the victim\u2019s death was the result of a homicide,\u201d the Hamilton County sheriff\u2019s office said in a statement.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Around the NFL<\/p>\n NFL coaches pick the Super Bowl: Seahawks clear favorite, but Patriots have paths to victory | The Athletic<\/a><\/p>\n Offensive coordinator: Either QB could blow it <\/p>\n Seattle is a more talented football team, but right now, the Patriots have a horseshoe up their ass and confidence that is affecting their ability to win games.<\/p>\n Both teams have the ability to win it on defense, which, to me, keeps it close.<\/p>\n If New England turns the ball over or if Seattle is hitting on all cylinders on offense, they have the firepower between the back (Kenneth Walker III) and the wideout (Smith-Njigba) and the system to put up a lot of points fast.<\/p>\n If it becomes a blowout, I don\u2019t see New England capable of blowing out Seattle. I see Seattle capable of blowing out New England.<\/p>\n I see it being a close game because of two good defenses that I think are going to both play decent. I don\u2019t see either quarterback stealing the game. I see a good, solid football game with good scheme and solid players. Mike Macdonald is the best there is as a defensive play caller, and Josh McDaniels is the best on offense.<\/p>\n How Patriots, Seahawks are bringing Zombieland to Super Bowl | ESPN<\/a><\/p>\n Nicknamed \u201cthe Zombieland,\u201d the celebration has accompanied some of the biggest moments of the Patriots\u2019 season en route to Super Bowl LX, but its origin is rooted 1,000 miles away and three years ago in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where a pair of\u00a0Western Kentucky\u00a0defensive backs came up with the move as they posed for pictures at a team media day in 2022. Since then, the celebration has crisscrossed the country from Western Kentucky to\u00a0Washington State\u00a0to the\u00a0Miami Hurricanes\u00a0to the NFL thanks to an upwardly mobile offensive coordinator, a future No. 1 draft pick and social media.<\/p>\n And now, nearly 3\u00bd years after its inception, the celebration could hit the worldwide stage at Levi\u2019s Stadium as the Patriots take on the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks\u00a0in Sunday\u2019s Super Bowl (6:30 p.m. ET, NBC).<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just crazy,\u201d former Western Kentucky wide receiver\u00a0Daewood Davis\u00a0told ESPN. \u201cJust to see something we created in a practice in Bowling Green, Kentucky, just having fun playing football and now it\u2019s one of the top celebrations in the world for high schoolers, for college, for NFL, for celebrities, man. It\u2019s such a surreal moment for us.\u201d<\/p>\n Jim Schwartz resigns as Browns DC after being passed up for team\u2019s head-coaching job | Yahoo!
