The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a lopsided win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, October 19, which earned the Chiefs a shutout score of 31-, not letting Las Vegas get a single point. But, it’s not all about football and winning. Sure, it feels great to win, but the Kansas City Chiefs are also very much about giving back to the local community.
One example of this is Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes founding “15 and the Mahomies” in 2019, a non-profit with the goal to improve the lives of children in the community through supporting “initiatives that focus on health, wellness, communities in need of resources and other charitable causes,” according to the foundation’s official website.
Mahomes, of course, isn’t the only Chiefs player who gives back. On Saturday, October 25, the Kansas City Chiefs took to social media to announced that they did some good over the weekend. “Alongside Chiefs players and Ambassadors, we hosted the Lee’s Summit West High School girls flag football team and local veterans for a visit to the National WWI Museum & Memorial,” their post on X read.
Kansas City Chiefs Give Back
On top of the Chiefs sharing that they hosted Lee’s Summit West High School girls flag football team and local veterans over the weekend, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Cole Christiansen got in on a special part of the fun. According to news outlet KCTV, he visited Lee’s Summit West girls flag football players on Wednesday, October 22, as part of the Chiefs’ military appreciation efforts.
“The visit combined the NFL’s ‘Salute to Service’ initiative with the Chiefs’ ‘Military Mission’ program,” KCTV noted. “Christiansen, who attended Army West Point, spoke to the players about service and breaking barriers.”
“It’s really important to know it as a current soldier,” Christiansen said, according to KCTV. “But also, it’s paying homage and remembering who came before us and what we’re still fighting for. They were fighting for the same thing back then.”
Christiansen also sang the praises of the expansion of girls flag football in high school sports, telling TCTV, “Female flag football players, I think that’s really cool. That wasn’t really a thing when I was in high school. Just to see that’s exploding so much is really really cool. It’s not just guys anymore that get to play football.”
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Washington Commanders
The Chiefs take on the Commanders for a high-profile Monday Night Football game on October 28, and the Chiefs, who have a record of 4-3, are favored by 11.5 points against the Washington Commanders, who have a 3-4 record, according to Fox Sports research. The main reason the Chiefs are so favored to win is because Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is out with an injury.
Dimers’ predictive model ran 10,000 simulations of the upcoming game. The results really favor the Chiefs, giving them an 85% chance to win compared to only 15% for Washington. The model also predicted a score of Chiefs 29, Commanders 18, at the end of the game. The matchup, more than anything, will test the depth of this Washington team.
