The Kansas City Chiefs’ season is, for all intents and purposes, over, but it somehow keeps getting worse in Missouri.
Kansas City got eliminated last week when the only possible four game cominations that could axe them from the postseason all occurred.
Patrick Mahomes, the team’s superstar quarterback who has led them to three-straight Super Bowls, went down with a torn ACL and might miss time in 2026.
Travis Kelce is mulling over retirement.
The team is expected to announce a relocation from Missouri to Kansas on Monday.
And now, a week after one terrible injury to a quarterback, came another, as backup Gardner Minshew went down to what is feared to be another torn ACL, per multiple reports.

The Chiefs got blown out by the woeful two-win (now three) Tennessee Titans, which has put a nasty stamp on what might be the worst two weeks in franchise history after a decade of unbridled success.
Minshew went down in the first few minutes of the Titans game and was taken off the field for the third-stringer Chris Oladokun to take over and play the rest of the game. Oladokun, a seventh-round draft pick of the Steelers out of South Dakota State, has bounced around practice teams throughout the years before finally getting his chance to throw in a game on Sunday.
After getting one snap in 2024 where he got sacked, he threw for 111 yards against the Titans in an emergency situation, holding his own, the best on a tired and broken-down Chiefs roster.
As if it couldn’t get worse for Kansas City, they will now have to travel home and play on short notice against the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day.
