Chiefs Miss Playoffs in Madden Simulation | NFL News

0:00It's September 6th. I'm Corey with the story, and this is NFL News Today, football news powered by AI. Alright, so we fired up the Madden simulation engine for the upcoming NFL season, and the results are in for the Kansas City Chiefs. They ended up with a record of eight wins and nine losses, which landed them second in the AFC West. Unfortunately, that means they missed out on the playoffs this year. A tough pill to swallow. Looking at the team's overall performance, they were pretty middle of the pack. Offensively, they put up 6,160 yards, ranking 17th in the league. Defensively, they gave up 6,154 yards, putting them at 20th. They scored 365 points, which was 24th, and allowed 423 points 21st. Individually, Patrick Mahomes had a solid year passing for 4,567 yards and 26 touchdowns, though he did throw. 11 interceptions and took 45 sacks. Kenneth Walker was a workhorse in the backfield with 1,165 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns.

1:06On the receiving end, Xavier were the shine with 1,260 yards and 10 touchdowns, while Rashee Ries also had a strong, showing with 1,222 yards. On the defensive side, Drew Trankwell led the team in tackles with 1.52. Our Mason Thomas was a standout rookie, racking of 12 sacks. Even with these individual efforts, the team struggled to put it all together consistently throughout the season. The simulation will continue game by game, with updated rosters and injuries, so we'll see if any adjustments can be made in this virtual world. It's a long season, and even in simulation, things can change.
