The Chiefs are going to ride the proverbial hot hand at left tackle. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Kansas City will start Joe Thuney at the position over D.J. Humphries. Thuney took over as starting left tackle in Week 15 after Humphries suffered a hamstring injury the week before.

In advance of their divisional round game, the Chiefs have reportedly decided on whether Joe Thuney or D.J. Humphries will start at LT.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, All-Pro guard Joe Thuney will get the call at left tackle over D.J. Humphries to start against the Houston Texans, marking his fourth game at the position.

The Kansas City Chiefs don't have many unanswered questions as they prepare for their first taste of playoff action in 2025. For the most part, the well-rested back-to-back champions are set to turn their December developments into January victories.

Three Chiefs — defensive lineman Chris Jones, center Creed Humphrey and guard/tackle Joe Thuney — were selected to the Players All-Pro team this week. The NFL players themselves determine this annual all-star team via the NFL Players Association — players vote for others at their position as well as positions against which they line up.

With a 15-2 regular season in the books, the Kansas City Chiefs achieved tremendous success in the last several months. That's largely due to their star talent on both sides of the ball, which helped fuel the team en route to capturing the No.

Former long-time Cardinals starter at left tackle D.J. Humphries has been benched ahead of Kansas City's matchup against the Houston Texans according to ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler:

Three Kansas City Chiefs continue to pile up honors for their play during the 2024 NFL season. Defensive tackle Chris Jones, left guard Joe Thuney and center Creed Humphrey were named first-team All-Pro by The Associated Press. Cornerback Trent McDuffie was selected to the second team.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats was $94 before fees on Vivid Seats. While these prices may seem expensive at first glance, compared to the games in Buffalo, Philadelphia and Detroit, they are by far the cheapest and might be the most affordable way to witness NFL playoff football in person this year.
