Top 10 Games of the 2025 Season: Chiefs-Bills, Vikings-Seahawks Ranked Among the Best | NFL.com
1 - Kansas City Chiefs AT Buffalo Bills
Where: Highmark Stadium | Orchard Park, N.Y.
The matchup between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes is a thrilling event on its own. When these two talented quarterbacks meet on the same field, it becomes a must-watch event. Buffalo and Kansas City have clashed nine times since 2020, with the Bills winning four consecutive regular-season encounters. However, they've yet to conquer Mahomes and his team in the playoffs. The significance of this matchup also extends to playoff seeding, adding an extra layer of excitement to this electric showdown.
2025 NFL Draft: Ranking the Top 100 Picks, Steals, Fits | ESPN
29. Josh Simmons, OT, Kansas City Chiefs (Pick 1-32)
My final overall ranking: No. 29
Finding a Pro Bowl-caliber left tackle late in Round 1 is quite uncommon. Had Simmons not torn his left patellar tendon in October, he likely would have been the first tackle selected. Prior to his injury, Simmons showcased performance worthy of any all-star discussion, and he could be the missing piece that improves protection for Patrick Mahomes’ blind side.

5. Kansas City Chiefs (-1)
It's almost unusual to see the Chiefs ranked so low. Observing how they navigate the transition in their roster building will be interesting. I think Josh Simmons is an outstanding acquisition. However, considering his knee injury, how soon can he return to the starting lineup? Also, while I appreciate late-round selections like Jalen Royals and Brashard Smith, what kind of impact will they realistically have as rookies?
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: DI OMARR NORMAN-LOTT (ROUND 2, PICK 63)
Norman-Lott posted some of the best pass-rushing stats in the draft class, recording an 18.9% pass-rush win rate and an 88.3 PFF pass-rush grade in true pass sets. Even if he doesn’t develop into an every-down player, the Chiefs excel at utilizing one-gap attacking defensive linemen effectively.
10. Kansas City Chiefs: A
Favorite pick: Jalen Royals was a surefire second-round choice in my opinion. He missed the latter part of last season due to an injury, but he possesses significant playmaking potential. Just think of him catching passes not from a college quarterback, but from Patrick Mahomes.

Kansas City Chiefs: Kristian Fulton, CB
After trading L’Jarius Sneed, cornerback depth was a concern, but Fulton bolsters that position. He also helps mitigate the impact of losing starting safety Justin Reid.
Around the NFL
The NFL imposed a $250,000 fine on Atlanta and a $100,000 fine on defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich for not preventing the leak of confidential information that was provided to the team ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo reported this news.
The Falcons promptly acknowledged the penalties in a statement released on Wednesday.
“We appreciate the NFL’s thorough investigation regarding last week’s data exposure and the subsequent events,” the team stated. “We acted swiftly to address the situation internally and cooperated fully with the league throughout the process, accepting the fines imposed on Coach Ulbrich and the organization. We retain confidence in our security protocols and will continue to prioritize adherence to them within our team. Furthermore, the Ulbrich family is collaborating with the organization on community service initiatives relating to this issue.”
Bills Signing Free Agent WR Elijah Moore, Source Reports | ESPN
The Buffalo Bills are bringing onboard veteran wide receiver Elijah Moore under a one-year contract valued at up to $5 million, according to a source from ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Moore, aged 25, made a career-high 61 catches for 538 yards and one touchdown last season while with the Cleveland Browns.
Able to play various receiver roles, he joins a talented roster that features Joshua Palmer and Laviska Shenault Jr, both acquired in free agency; along with 2024 second-round pick Keon Coleman; Khalil Shakir, who signed a four-year contract extension during the offseason; and last year’s free-agent addition, Curtis Samuel.

Chiefs Draft: Assessing Rookie Defensive End Ashton Gillotte’s Fit for 2025
On the Edge
Gillotte shows an impressive first step and displays the agility to bend the arc effectively.
Beginning this play aligned wide on the edge, Gillotte explodes upfield. As the right tackle attempts to engage, he swipes the opponent's hands aside and starts to turn the corner. Although he doesn’t quite sack quarterback Cam Ward, his pressure disrupts the timing of the play, resulting in minimal gain for Miami.
Gillotte’s hand-fighting prowess and agility around the corner will significantly enhance the defensive rotation.
