Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs are favorites to win the Super Bowl for a third straight year. Right now, their roster looks better than the version which made a championship run beating the San Francisco 49ers at Las Vegas.

Last season, many fans and experts believed the offense was the weak spot for the team. Now, that has totally changed with the arrival of players such as Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy.

Of course, intangibles are always a big problem and the Chiefs just got really bad news. Before the long awaited opener in the NFL against the Baltimore Ravens, Patrick Mahomes just lost a key player due to injury.

The injury occurred in the first play of preseason facing the Jacksonville Jaguars, when Brown caught a pass from Patrick Mahomes and fell awkwardly with all the weight on his right shoulder.
