Buccaneers, NFL discuss contingency plans for Hurricane Ian

Posted on by

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the NFL on Monday were discussing contingency plans for practice, as well as the possible relocation of next weekend’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs in the event Hurricane Ian makes landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

“Right now we’re still monitoring things, but we’re working things out with the league and we should have a decision hopefully later (Monday) about what we’re going to do,” coach Todd Bowles said.

Tuesday is a regular day off for players. The team reconvenes Wednesday for the start of preparation for Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs.

Bowles said one of the things under discussion was the prospect of practicing in another city if the storm makes landfall near the Tampa Bay area.

Asked if there was talk of Sunday night’s game being moved, too, Bowles responded: “Possibly, if it gets to that.”

Meanwhile, the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning postponed preseason games scheduled to be played at home Wednesday against Carolina and Thursday vs. Nashville.

Former Chiefs player Tyreek Hill in Joplin for football camp

Posted on by

JOPLIN, Mo. — Although Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins this spring he returned to Missouri to football camps this week encouraging kids.

Friday evening at Joplin High School he stated, “My heart is Kansas City.”

In late March 2022 it was announced that Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins for a handful of draft picks.

Hill has played his entire NFL career in KC. He was drafted by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He attended Garden City Community College, Oklahoma State University, and the University of West Alabama.

“Who knows you might see me back here in three years,” Hill said to the Joplin crowd of about 500 who loudly cheered.

This was a private one day camp. It was not open to the public.

This fall will be his first with the Miami Dolphins as wide receiver.

Chiefs send Tyreek Hill to Dolphins for draft picks

Posted on by

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs traded wide receiver Tyreek Hill to Miami for a package of draft picks on Wednesday, and the Dolphins are giving the three-time All-Pro a $120 million, four-year contract extension, a person familiar with the moves told The Associated Press.

The Chiefs will get the Dolphins’ first- and second-round picks along with their fourth-rounder in this year’s draft, and fourth- and sixth-round picks next year, the person told the AP on condition of anonymity because terms were not announced.

Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said the next extension from Miami includes $72.2 million guaranteed.

The Chiefs had been in discussion with Tyreek Hill on a contract extension in part because they were seeking relief from a tight salary cap situation. But the talks had stalled over the past few days, and Hill’s representatives requested permission to seek a trade, which came together quickly with multiple teams expressing interest in him.

Chiefs win OT thriller over Bills, advance to AFC championship

Posted on by

By Dave Skretta, AP Sports Writer:

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes found Travis Kelce in the corner of the end zone early in overtime, and the Kansas City Chiefs rallied to beat the Buffalo Bills 42-36 on Sunday night in a sizzling finish to a wild divisional-round weekend.

The lead changed hands three times in the final two minutes of regulation before Harrison Butker, who earlier missed a field goal and extra point, drilled a 49-yarder for Kansas City as time expired to force overtime.

The Chiefs won the coin toss, marched swiftly downfield against the NFL’s top-ranked but exhausted defense, and right into their fourth straight AFC title game. They’ll play the Bengals next Sunday night for a spot in the Super Bowl.

Mahomes finished with 378 yards passing and three touchdowns, including a 64-yarder to Tyreek Hill during the thrilling final minutes of regulation. The Chiefs ended the Bills’ season inside Arrowhead Stadium for the second straight year.

Josh Allen did everything in his power to prevent it. He threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Gabriel Davis with 1:54 left in the regulation, then another to Davis — his playoff-record fourth TD catch — with 13 seconds remaining.

Yet that was enough time for the Chiefs to set up Butker’s tying kick.

Allen finished with 329 yards passing, and Davis with eight catches for 201 yards, in a loss even more devastating than their defeat to Kansas City in last year’s AFC title game.

================================================================================================================================

The Kansas City Chiefs are headed back to the AFC championship, winning an overtime thriller over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in the AFC divisional round.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 370 yards and 3 touchdowns Sunday, including the game-winning touchdown in overtime to tight end Travis Kelce. Tyreek Hill led Kansas City in receiving with 150 yards and a touchdown.

Kansas City advances to host the Cincinnati Bengals next Sunday in the AFC championship.

On the other side, Buffalo QB Josh Allen threw for 328 yards and 4 touchdowns. All four touchdowns went to wide receiver Gabriel Davis. Davis finished with 8 catches for 201 yards and 4 touchdowns, becoming the first player in NFL history to have 4 receiving touchdowns in a postseason game.
