Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes fined a combined $150,000 for criticizing officials, AP source says
A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press that Chiefs coach Andy Reid was fined $100,000 and quarterback Patrick Mahomes was fined $50,000 for criticizing officials following a 20-17 loss to Buffalo last week.
Chiefs' Reid still incensed that flag was thrown with no warning for costly offside penalty
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday that he was still upset that officials threw a flag, rather than issues a customary warning, when Kadarius Toney was called offside on a play that would have given Kansas City the lead late in its loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Chiefs and QB Patrick Mahomes will be leaning on new bunch of untested wide receivers
The Kansas City Chiefs allowed wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman to walk away in free agency, and in their place they signed a couple of relative unknowns while taking a gamble on an injury-prone talent and unproven draft pick.
Chiefs receiver, former Gator Kadarius Toney makes most of his Super Bowl touches
Kadarius Toneyโs struggles with injuries and inconsistency prompted the New York Giants to give up on him midway through his second NFL season. The Kansas City Chiefs gave him a second chance and the talented receiver proved heโs no first-round bust.

Pitts puts on show at Floridaโs pro day for NFL evaluators
(AP Photo/John Raoux, File)GAINESVILLE, Fla. โ There was no shortage of Kyle Pitts highlights at Floridaโs pro day Wednesday, from his measurables to his moves to even his mindset. It was a refresher course for anyone who watched the versatile tight end play last season. Pitts and several teammates โ most notably quarterback Kyle Trask, cornerback Marco Wilson and receivers Kadarius Toney and Trevon Grimes โ worked out for talent evaluators from 31 of 32 NFL teams. AdItโs still entirely possible for Pitts to be the highest-drafted tight end in the modern era (since 1970). โHeโs a different bird than what a traditional tight end has been or certainly has been when I played,โ said Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell, a tight end who played 11 NFL seasons.

No. 11 Florida loses Toney, Henderson in win over UT Martin
11 Florida might have lost its top two players in a 45-0 victory over lower-division Tennessee-Martin on Saturday night. Florida barely missed either of them against the Skyhawks (1-1), who fell to 0-10 against SEC teams and failed to cover the 44 1/2-point spread. Without them, Florida still manhandled overmatched UT Martin. Feleipe Franks completed 25 of 27 passes, including 15 straight to start the game, for 270 yards and two touchdowns. Florida led 38-0 early in the fourth - and had emptied its bench - when quarterback John Bachus scampered for 48 yards and gave UT Martin its best scoring opportunity.
