Patrick Mahomes

We'll be treated to some NFL football later this month when the Hall of Fame game kicks off between the Lions and Chargers to officially begin the Preseason.

Travis Kelce plans to play in the 2025 season, Pat McAfee confirmed Thursday with the Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end.

General manager Brett Veach said Tuesday the Kansas City Chiefs are planning for Travis Kelce to play in 2025, adding the veteran tight end "has that fire and desire to play.''

The quarterback was criticized for his underwhelming performance.

The Philadelphia Eagles won their second Super Bowl in franchise history with a thunderous 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, a win so momentous that it might have shifted odds for next year's Super Bowl at sportsbooks across the nation.

Defense, the old coaches used to tell us, wins championships. And though the scoring-happy modern NFL sometimes makes that old saying sound silly, the Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles would like a word.

It's a pretty polarizing matchup in the big game this season coming up on Sunday in New Orleans.

It was Mahomes' arm with 245 yards passing and a touchdown and his legs two more scores rushing. Kansas City defense added some key stops that preserved a 32-29 victory over the Bills in the AFC championship game.

And then there were four. We're down to just two teams left in each conference in the NFL, and we're ready for the AFC and NFC Championship contests coming up on Sunday.

Patrick Mahomes has had a stellar start to his career, which now includes topping the Chiefs all-time passing list in multiple categories.
