These aren’t the Kansas City Chiefs you’re used to. Kansas City is winning almost every game by the skin of its teeth. At the same time, Kansas City seems more vulnerable than ever. The team’s point differential of plus-56 is also the worst of all 37 teams to start a season 12-1 since 1929. As beatable as it seems on paper, it remains to be seen whether anyone can knock off Kansas City in practice.

CNN —I am a Buffalo Bills fan and watching the Kansas City Chiefs this year has been downright painful. After looking into it, the Chiefs, it turns out, are the luckiest 11+ win team through 13 games in the Super Bowl era. Well, it is more likely to be the case that the Chiefs don’t win a Super Bowl, but that’s not a guarantee. Among the 11+ win teams with the 25 worst point differentials, 12% of them won the Super Bowl. The 11+ win team with the best point differential to this point?

And now, his task is eerily the same: Beat the Kansas City Chiefs and return the Chargers to national relevance. While Los Angeles versus Kansas City isn’t quite Ohio State versus Michigan, the Chiefs are the team standing in everybody’s way in the NFL, but particularly their divisional opponents. But Sunday will be an interesting test to see how close Los Angeles is to its current chief rival. And in the teams’ first matchup earlier this season, Kansas City beat Los Angeles 17-10.

A white former Kansas City, Kansas, police detective was found dead Monday on the day his federal civil rights trial was set to begin for allegedly sexually abusing Black women over decades, authorities said. An arrest warrant had been issued when Roger Golubski, 71, failed to appear at a federal courthouse in Topeka on the first day of jury selection. Golubski was charged in 2022 with federal civil rights crimes after he was accused of exploiting Black women for sex and framing people for crimes they say they did not commit. Golubski, who retired in 2010 after 35 years with the Kansas City Police Department, pleaded not guilty to six counts of deprivation of civil rights. The Kansas City Police Department has come under scrutiny over allegations of corruption and civil rights violations in recent years.

The retired detective was accused of using his position as a police officer in Kansas City, Kansas, to sexually assault vulnerable Black women over the course of decades. Prosecutors said in court filings that Golubski hand-picked his victims because he was confident they would never be believed. The second case accused him of being in cahoots with a drug kingpin in the sex trafficking of underage girls. Developments were chronicled on the front pages of the local newspaper, The Kansas City Star, and resulted in a crusading newspaper columnist winning one of journalism’s highest honors — a Pulitzer Prize. “This trial will turn entirely on victim credibility,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing last year.

The NBA warned players to safeguard valuables against "well-organized, sophisticated" transnational crime rings, according to a memo obtained by NBC News on Friday, matching a similar caution issued earlier this week by the NFL. The FBI reported that, in most of the incidents, the homes were equipped with alarm systems that were not activated. The FBI also reported that the homes were all unoccupied and, in most cases, no dogs were present." Earlier this week, the NFL told players to be mindful about publicly sharing any information about their whereabouts, homes and luxury items they might own. "The homes of professional athletes across multiple sports leagues have become increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups," the NFL memo said.
