The Kansas City Chiefs are heading into their first preseason matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a full head of steam after wrapping up for the week in St. Joseph earlier today.

The defending champions have made some impressive plays during recent workouts, and their highlight reel plays seem to have caught the attention of a Mizzou legend and former Chiefs backup quarterback Chase Daniel.

Daniel shared his thoughts on the exceptional footage coming out of Kansas City’s training camp on Twitter, where he posted a six-minute breakdown of Patrick Mahomes’ top plays.

Check out what Daniel had to say about Mahomes and the Chiefs’ new-look offense:

Though Daniel and Kansas City’s fans will have to wait until Saturday to see Mahomes and his new cast of offensive talent in action, the Mizzou star’s breakdown serves as yet another reminder of how high expectations are for the defending champions heading into the 2024 season.

The calendar has flipped to November, and it’s time for NFL teams to start getting serious.

With the season now halfway over, time is of the essence as squads look to position themselves for the playoffs. That jockeying continued in Week 9, with several playoff hopefuls suffering painful losses.

Here are all the winners and losers from Sunday’s games:

WINNER: Buffalo still owns Miami

It took a 61-yard field goal by Tyler Bass with five seconds left, but the Buffalo Bills continue to own the Miami Dolphins.

The Bills have now won six straight overall against the Dolphins, plus nine straight in Orchard Park. The Dolphins needed this one to cling to life in the AFC, as they now drop to 2-6 with a lot of work to do to make the postseason. Miami’s offense continued to look solid with Tua Tagovailoa back in action for his second game back from a concussion, but it wasn’t able to hold up defensively.

Meanwhile, Josh Allen just keeps building his case for MVP. The Bills quarterback had 235 yards and three touchdowns as his team improved to 7-2.

LOSER: Dak Prescott

The Dallas Cowboys lost another game — and their quarterback.

Dak Prescott exited with a hamstring injury and did not return in the 27-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, with Cooper Rush finishing the game for Dallas. Even before the injury though, Prescott wasn’t helping the Cowboys much. He went 18 of 24 for 133 yards.

Atlanta, on the other hand, is now 6-3 and firmly in control of the NFC South. Kirk Cousins was solid yet again with 222 yards and three touchdowns.

WINNER: Jayden Daniels keeps rolling

The Washington Commanders can’t stop winning.

Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels helped the team to another victory, their seventh of the season, in a road game against the New York Giants. It was a narrow 27-22 victory in the end, but Daniels had another standout effort. The LSU product went 15 of 22 for 209 yards and two touchdowns.

The Giants now boast the opposite record of the Commanders at 2-7. After falling behind 21-7 at halftime, Daniel Jones turned things around in the second half but it still wasn’t enough. He ended up with 174 passing yards and two touchdowns after totaling 0 passing yards in the first two quarters.

LOSER: Jameis Winston’s magic

Last week, it looked like Jameis Winston had transformed the Cleveland Browns. This week, it was back to reality.

The former No. 1 overall pick had three interceptions in Sunday’s 27-10 blowout home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Browns, now 2-7, don’t appear likely to make another Cinderella postseason run like they did last year with Joe Flacco.

On the other side, the Chargers are 5-3 and continuing to improve offensively. Justin Herbert had 282 yards and two touchdowns as the team scored four total touchdowns for the first time all season.

WINNER: Bengals at home

It took nearly two months, but the Cincinnati Bengals finally have a home victory in 2024.

Joe Burrow’s squad rolled to an easy 41-24 win over the Las Vegas Raiders behind five touchdown passes from their QB. After falling behind 7-0 in the opening minutes, the Bengals finished the game on a 41-17 run to seal the victory and improve to 4-5. It’s been a season full of disappointment for Cincinnati, but it’s still alive in the wide-open AFC wild card chase.

For the Raiders, they are now 2-7 as the season is slowly slipping away. Antonio Pierce’s team has lost five straight games following their 2-2 start — and the quarterback situation remains a problem. They have flip-flopped from Gardner Minshew to Aidan O’Connell multiple times — and Desmond Ridder even got some action on Sunday. Until that gets sorted out, results like this will continue to happen.

LOSER: Broncos defense can’t hang

The Denver Broncos’ defense entered Week 9 as a top-five unit in terms of scoring (third), total yards allowed (third) and passing yards allowed (fourth). That all fell apart in Baltimore when the Ravens put together a dominant performance.

The Ravens walked away with an easy 41-10 win in a game that got out of hand quickly. It was 17-10 with Baltimore leading late in the first half before a broken play gave Zay Flowers a 53-yard score in the final minute. The rout was on from that point, with the Ravens carrying momentum into the second half to cruise to victory.

Lamar Jackson had 280 yards and three touchdowns, while Derrick Henry added 106 yards and two scores on the ground. Bo Nix came back down to earth for the Broncos, going 19 of 33 for 223 yards and an interception — although he did have an impressive touchdown catch.

WINNER: Cardinals move above .500, on top of NFC West

The Cardinals kept their lead atop the NFC West with a robust 29-9 win over the Chicago Bears, making it three in a row.

Kyler Murray was mostly a bystander, completing just 13 of 24 passes for 154 yards. The touchdowns came on the ground, with Emeri Demercado, Trey Benson and tight end Trey McBride all rushing home. James Conner had 107 rushing yards but no scores.

Caleb Williams didn’t get much going, completing 22 of 41 passes for 216 yards, no touchdowns and no picks with D’Andre Swift rushing for just 51 yards on 3.2 per carry (16 attempts).

LOSER: Jordan Love struggles with inconsistency

The Lions moved to 7-1 behind a calm game from Jared Goff and another dual effort from David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.

But the Packers fell to 6-3 in another game mired by inconsistency from star quarterback Jordan Love, who completed 23 of 38 passes for 273 yards, no touchdowns and one pick, which was returned for a touchdown.

If the Packers want to take the next step, they’ll need improved all-around performances from their key players, and that starts with Love. Disciplinary issues have also hurt the team, but they have time to reflect with a bye coming up.

WINNER: Saquon Barkley propels Eagles

To no surprise, Barkley continued to dominate in Philly colors as the Eagles beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-23.

Barkley logged 159 rushing yards and a score on 27 carries along with 40 receiving yards and a score on three catches. In terms of highlights, Barkley made rounds on social media with an 180-degree reverse hurdle.

The Eagles moved to 6-2 despite a shaky second half in which Jacksonville outscored them 22-12. But the Jaguars just couldn’t generate any rushing momentum while Trevor Lawrence continued to struggle, completing just 16 of 31 passes for 169 yards, no touchdowns and two picks as the team sunk to 2-7.

WINNER: Rams’ Demarcus Robinson hauls in one-hander in OT

This was initially supposed to be a loser section for Seattle blowing a 13-3 first-half lead squandered by Geno Smith’s three picks, but Demarcus Robinson deserves the nod.

Robinson made the game-winning touchdown catch for the Los Angeles Rams, who won 26-20 in Seattle to move to second in the NFC West above the San Francisco 49ers, who are on their bye.

Like the Cardinals, the Rams are also on a three-game winning streak as the division remains tight. Seattle used to be in first but lost two in a row and are now last.
