Are Man Utd spiralling just two weeks into new season?
Are Man Utd spiralling just two weeks into new season?. With just one week of the 2026 NFL season in the books, it's hard to definitively say if one team is this or if one team is that, but the Kansas City Chiefs certainly sent out a few reminders as to why they have played in five of the last seven Super Bowls.
What happened
Sky Sports NFL's Neil Reynolds hails "maniac quarterback" Patrick Mahomes as he starred on a winning return from last year's knee injury; the Chiefs began their season with a 31-10 win over the Denver Broncos after missing out on the playoffs for the first time since 2014 last season Neil Reynolds American Football Expert & Columnist Tuesday 15 September 2026 11:57, UK Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Highlights of Denver Broncos at the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL.
I'm thinking about the story that the next day he was on the phone to the Buccaneers trying to arrange his offseason workouts. Take Liverpool two seasons ago when they won the Premier League. Then head coach Andy Reid told me in the summer, there was no offseason of holidays and time away from the facility. Mahomes was in the Chiefs facility for seven hours a day all through the offseason. Steve Spagnuolo lost some players on that side of football this season, but they always seem to scheme up advantages for their defenders.
I just mentioned the offensive failures, but the defense was atrocious.

They depend on meeting concrete goals, not just adjusting a timelineIt has been a week of high drama in AI, precipitated by the resignation of the AI safety researcher Jacob Coxon from Anthropic. This followed several weeks of increasingly lurid and disturbing revelations about the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident. Let me pause here to respond to Amodei’s critics who say it’s just a bid to cement Anthropic’s lead with the help of government intervention.
But the sunk cost fallacy is just that: if we double down on a mistake, it’s still a mistake. Sky Sports columnist Laura Hunter analyses the big talking points from the second round of Women's Super League matches, bringing you closer to the key stories at the heart of the women's game.
What has been reported
Skip to content Analysis Patrick Mahomes could have done an Arne Slot and Liverpool but showed he is true champion, says Neil Reynolds. Their 31-10 victory over the Denver Broncos was not only emphatic, it was encouraging on many levels. First of all, let's start with Patrick Mahomes. This team is led by an absolute maniac at the quarterback position, and I mean that in a good way. Mahomes has a lot of Tom Brady in him, in that he's always on to the next thing.
If I think back to Tom Brady winning his seventh and final Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I'm not really thinking about him standing under the confetti for the final time in his career. That's what it takes to be a champion in the NFL, and not all sportsmen and sports leaders are like that. Arne Slot was in Ibiza partying and DJing, and the players were on yachts.

Mahomes is so driven and immediately opted for surgery after tearing his knee ligaments in mid-December.
That's what it takes to get to the highest level of this game. The Chiefs were careful with Mahomes, getting the ball out quickly so he didn't take too many hits. He didn't have a single drop back over four seconds, but he's also going to be putting his body on the line. On his touchdown run in the first half, he signalled to the NFL as he flexed his bicep in the end zone that he is back and ready to be as good as he's ever been.
In fact, I won't use the word good with Patrick Mahomes, as great as he's ever been.
