Chiefs Dismiss Communications Director After Controversial Post Mocking Eagles.

Kansas City, MO – September 16, 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially fired their communications director following a social media post that drew widespread backlash after Sunday’s 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The post, which has since been deleted, mocked Philadelphia’s “Fly Eagles Fly” chant by writing “Cry Eagles Cry” and went further to claim, “You didn’t beat us — the refs did.”

While it quickly went viral, the reaction was overwhelmingly negative, with many calling the message unprofessional and damaging to the franchise’s reputation.

 

Sources close to the team confirmed that ownership and senior leadership met late Sunday night and decided that disciplinary action was necessary. By Monday morning, the communications director had been relieved of duties.

In an official statement, the Chiefs said: “The post shared on our official account does not represent the standards of our organization. We expect professionalism and integrity in everything tied to the Chiefs brand. We’ve taken immediate action and remain focused on moving forward.”

 

Head coach Andy Reid avoided commenting on the internal firing but reinforced the team’s focus: “We lost a tough football game. Our job now is to get better on the field, not worry about social media.”

 

The firing underscores the growing impact of digital messaging in the NFL, where a single post can overshadow an entire game. For the Chiefs, the episode has quickly shifted from frustration about officiating to accountability within their own organization.

Now, as Kansas City turns its attention to Week 3, the team will also begin the search for a new communications leader who can help repair its image after an embarrassing slip.

Bears Could Get Huge Boost to Pass Rush for ‘MNF’ vs. Commanders
Bears defensive end Austin Booker could return in Week 6. The Chicago Bears could receive a significant boost to their pass rush when they take on the Washington Commanders for Monday Night Football in Week 6. The Bears are now eligible to designate second-year defensive end Austin Booker for return from the injured reserve list after he missed the first four games of the season. Booker had shone in the preseason and seemed the likely choice to serve as the Bears‘ top rotational pass rusher behind veterans Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo coming into the 2025 season, but he suffered a knee injury in August that forced the team to place him on the short-term injured reserve list after the 53-man roster cutdown.

You Do It?   Brain Journal While the Bears have not laid out an expected return timeline for Booker, they will have the option of designating him for return to practice in Week 6 if they feel he has made enough progress in his injury recovery. Once the Bears designate him for return, they will have 21 days to activate him to the roster or else must leave him on IR for the year. The Bears could provide clues to Booker’s status when they hold their first practice of the week on Wednesday and issue their first injury report for Sunday’s prime-time date with the Commanders. They would need to activate Booker by Saturday afternoon at the latest for him to have a chance of suiting up for them on Monday Night Football. The Bears (2-2) will take on the Commanders (3-2) at 8:15 p.m. ET next Monday.
