The ‘polarizing’ Chiefs overtook the Cowboys and are officially America’s Team | First Things First
The NFL schedule will fully be released later tonight and the Kansas City Chiefs are notably playing on both Thanksgiving and Christmas this season. They are the first team since the Pittsburgh Steelers since 2016 to play on both holidays. This raises the topic of whether they are the new America’s Team instead of the Dallas Cowboys. Nick Wright explains how his “polarizing” Chiefs overtook the Cowboys as America’s Team. Chris Broussard, Kevin Wildes and Greg Jennings chime in.
New England Patriots 2025 Record Prediction
Henry McKenna: It won’t be the progress that Patriots fans want to see, given the massive spending in free agency and the analysts’ rave reviews for New England’s draft. But Patriots fans had it so dang good for so long that they don’t understand how long it can take to get out of the basement. Ask the Jaguars. Ask the Browns. They can’t get out. Ask the Lions. Ask the Texans. It seemed they’d never get out. Point is, Mike Vrabel is a good coach. Quarterback Drake Maye is a good prospect. The Patriots now have more talent than last year. That’s good for a few more wins than last year. But it does not a playoff contender make. Not in one year. Record Prediction: 7-10
