Broncos sweep the Chiefs for the first time since 2014

Denver just did something it hasn’t done in over a decade: they swept the Chiefs in the season series, the first sweep since 2014. The sweep was capped by a 20–13 Broncos win over the Chiefs on Christmas, pushing Denver’s current streak to three straight wins in the rivalry. Considering how lopsided this matchup felt for years, this is a real “the tide has turned” moment. #NFL #Broncos #Chiefs #AFCWest #Rivalry #BroncosCountry #NFLHistory #ChristmasGame

Tearing down Arrowhead could cost up to $150M after Chiefs announce move to Kansas

The Chiefs have announced they’re leaving Arrowhead (Missouri) for a new $3B domed stadium in Kansas targeted for the 2031 season, with Kansas lawmakers approving bonds to cover a major share of the public financing. Now Missouri’s staring at a brutal twist: Arrowhead could become Missouri’s problem even after the team leaves. Missouri House Speaker Jon Patterson says demolition could run up to $150 million—meaning the state/county could end up paying a massive bill just to clean up the stadium left behind. This is the part that always gets overlooked in “team moves for a new stadium” stories: one side doesn’t just lose the team—sometimes they’re left holding the receipt too. Should teams be required to pay demolition/exit costs when they leave publicly funded stadiums? #NFL #Chiefs #Arrowhead #StadiumDeals #KansasCity #Missouri #Kansas #SportsBusiness #PublicFunding

Rams were the first team to score an OT TD on the opening drive and lost

This is the new overtime era in one sentence: the Rams scored a touchdown on the opening OT possession and still lost. In Seahawks–Rams (38–37), L.A. went first in OT and hit Stafford → Puka Nacua for a TD to take the lead. Seattle answered with its own TD, then won the game by converting the 2-point try (Darnold to TE Eric Saubert). It was basically inevitable once the NFL expanded the “both teams get the ball” OT format to the regular season—now you can’t assume “OT TD = game over,” and Seattle became the first team to actually flip the script like this. Is this a better product, or does it make OT feel too much like a mini shootout? #NFL #Seahawks #Rams #Overtime #TNF #NFLRules #MatthewStafford #SamDarnold #PukaNacua

Simone Biles Shines Beyond the Gridiron

Olympic GOAT Simone Biles just reminded us she’s more than just an NFL WAG! King Owens’ better half dropped a rare Insta photo dump showing her off-duty style—think camo hoodies, glam tank tops, and a sweet “Owens” necklace. Fans are loving this peek at her life outside the football spotlight. Anyone else think Simone’s low-key looks are as gold as her medals? #Sports #SimoneBiles #NFL

Penei Sewell criticizes Lions having to play both Thanksgiving and Christmas

Lions RT Penei Sewell didn’t sugarcoat it when asked about Detroit playing on Christmas on the road: “I’m not happy… we already have Thanksgiving… not fun, but it is what it is.” And honestly, it’s hard to blame him. Detroit already carries the league’s biggest holiday obligation every year, and now the NFL is stacking another marquee day on top—this time away from home. Do you like the NFL turning Christmas into a full slate, or is this where “more games” starts feeling like too much? #NFL #DetroitLions #PeneiSewell #Lions #ChristmasDay #NFLSchedule #LionsVikings

Josh Johnson will start for the Commanders on Christmas

Washington is rolling out 39-year-old Josh Johnson vs the Cowboys on Christmas after injuries shut down Jayden Daniels and sidelined Marcus Mariota. Johnson’s been around the league forever, and now he’s QB1 again in a holiday game. Both teams are out of the playoff picture, so this is basically a real-time audition + chaos watch: can the Commanders’ offense function at all, and how ugly does it get if it can’t? What’s your expectation here? #NFL #Commanders #Cowboys #JoshJohnson #ChristmasDay #Week17 #NFLDiscussion
