2024 NFL Schedule: Key Rivalry Matchups That Will Define the Season | U.S.A. Today

2. Kansas City Chiefs at San Francisco 49ers

This matchup is certainly a grudge match, especially for Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan, who has struggled against Andy Reid‘s Chiefs with a record of 0-4. Remarkably, three of those defeats came by double-digit margins, and two took place in Super Bowls 54 and 58, including a heartbreaking overtime loss last season. The last encounter at Levi’s Stadium two years ago saw K.C. QB Patrick Mahomes throw for an impressive 423 yards and three touchdowns, leading to a 44-23 victory, which remained competitive until the fourth quarter.

2 – Xavier Worthy

Kansas City Chiefs

2023 record: 11-6

SELECTED: Round 1, No. 28 overall

After a surprising selection by the Falcons of Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8 overall, the Bills made another head-scratching pick at No. 28 during the draft’s opening night. This allowed the Kansas City Chiefs to trade up and secure an essential piece for their back-to-back Super Bowl-winning offense. Coach Andy Reid values adding a speedy deep threat (think: DeSean Jackson and Tyreek Hill), and Worthy fits this role perfectly as a lightning-fast playmaker who can excel downfield, thereby opening up opportunities for players like Travis Kelce and Marquise Brown.

Latest Developments and News Around the NFL

Former Bengals Wide Receiver Tyler Boyd Joins the Tennessee Titans on a One-Year Deal | NFL.com

The former Cincinnati Bengals receiver has entered into a one-year contract with the Tennessee Titans, valued up to $4.5 million, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. This news was first reported by ESPN.

Boyd’s time with the Bengals ended on a somewhat disappointing note following a challenging last season that included several uncharacteristic drops during crucial moments. It marked an unfortunate end to an eight-year tenure (2016-2023) where the University of Pittsburgh product had established himself as a reliable pass-catcher, tallying 513 receptions on 753 targets for over 6,000 receiving yards and 31 touchdowns.

Joe Burrow Returns to Throwing at Bengals Workouts | ESPN

On November 27, Dr. Thomas Graham performed surgery to repair the scapholunate ligament in Burrow’s right wrist, as confirmed by sources to ESPN following an initial report by the Cincinnati Enquirer. In March, Burrow expressed optimism about being fully cleared after his surgery and noted that his recovery timeline would be similar to previous offseasons.

“In a typical offseason, I wouldn’t be throwing until OTAs anyway,” Burrow stated. “I’m able to lift weights almost normally now, which is something I’m excited about.”

Burrow missed the final seven games of last season due to the wrist injury he sustained during a Week 11 defeat against the Baltimore Ravens. This injury capped a season plagued by injuries that began with a strained right calf during the first week of training camp in 2023, which he re-aggravated in Week 2.

Chiefs Roster: Rugby Star Louis Rees-Zammit Aims to ‘Put in the Work’

Transitioning to a completely new sport, one that many competitors have been playing since their youth, presents unique challenges for Rees-Zammit. The Welsh-born athlete highlighted the significant differences between rugby and American football, particularly in terms of play-calling.

“In rugby,” Rees-Zammit explained, “the game is quite fluid—unless a set piece arises. That’s when you call a play, which usually amounts to about 20 to 30 plays a game. In contrast, here, we’re dealing with hundreds of plays.”

“Learning the playbook has been an intriguing experience. Although we’ve only installed a few plays so far—I’ve only been here for a week—it’s been enjoyable, and I’m eager to see what’s next.”

While the 23-year-old expressed that the rookie minicamp was a positive experience, he understands that mastering the game will take time.

“The more repetitions I get, the better I will become,” he asserted. “I know that it’s going to be a process, but I’m committed to putting in the effort.”
