The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off their second straight Super Bowl win. It was their fifth title in the last five seasons. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes finds a way to make it happen with the talent he’s surrounded with. This offseason, the Chiefs added two WRs. One through the draft and the other through free agency.

During the Chiefs preseason game on Saturday, Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation and had to be taken to the hospital. Head coach Andy Reid said that Brown could miss time and he’s unsure if he will be available for Week 1.
