Josh Simmons Ready to Play Outside, Giving Up His Position for Jaylon Moore

Kansas City, MO – May 13, 2025
Rookie Josh Simmons, the Kansas City Chiefs’ first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has announced his readiness to shift to an outside position on the offensive line, relinquishing the left guard role to Jaylon Moore—the team’s controversial $30 million offseason signing.

Simmons, 22, was expected to bring youth and versatility to a Chiefs offensive line that struggled in their Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. According to Arrowhead Pride, the left guard position has been a glaring weakness for the Chiefs since Joe Thuney was traded to the Chicago Bears in March. Initially seen as a potential fit for left guard, Simmons has now expressed his willingness to adapt for the team’s benefit. “I’m ready to play wherever I can help the team,” Simmons said at a recent press conference. “Jaylon has the experience, and I believe he’ll do great on the inside.”

Jaylon Moore, who signed a 2-year deal with the Chiefs in March, has 12 career starts from his four years with the San Francisco 49ers. Despite being labeled a “gamble” due to his limited starting experience, Moore is trusted by the Chiefs’ coaching staff to bring stability to the offensive line, particularly at left guard. Simmons’ willingness to play outside—potentially at left tackle—not only addresses a roster need but also highlights the rookie’s team-first mentality.

Head coach Andy Reid praised Simmons’ adaptability: “Josh is a smart player and eager to learn. His sacrifice opens up opportunities for us to optimize our line.” With a challenging 2025 schedule ahead, including matchups against the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens, the pairing of Simmons and Moore could be key to protecting Patrick Mahomes and propelling the Chiefs back to the top of the AFC.

3 Factors That Will Decide Bills vs. Bucs: The Third Will SHOCK Fans
ORCHARD PARK, NY: November 16, 2025 After a devastating 13-30 loss in Miami, the Bills (6-3) return to Highmark Stadium with one clear mission: prove the Dolphins loss was an accident, not their true nature. But Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-3) aren't pushovers. Bills -5.5 spread shows this is more balanced than many think. Below are 3 deciding factors, and the third will shock you. Factor #1: Josh Allen & Turnover Battle Allen has exactly 2 turnovers in all 3 Bills losses this season. In 6 wins, only 1 turnover. This is the win-loss formula.​ Tampa Bay owns top-2 pressure rate NFL (40.5%) and leads in unblocked pressures/sacks. They blitz 6th-most (31.8%), creating free rushers.​ If Allen gets pressured like vs. Dolphins (3 turnovers), Bills repeat disaster. If OL holds and Allen plays smart: no forcing tight throws, no fumbles, Bills win comfortably.​ Factor #2: James Cook & Run Game Bills lead NFL in rushing (153.2 ypg) with James Cook at Pro Bowl level. But last week vs. Dolphins, only 87 rush yards and a blowout loss.​ If Cook runs 100+ → Tampa brings safeties down → Allen's play-action deadly → Bills control clock. If Cook shut down → Allen throws under pressure → Turnovers increase → Shootout Bills don't want.​​ Factor #3 (SHOCK): The "Home November Letdown" This Will Shock You: Nearly nobody mentions this, but it could be why Bills lose: The "Home November Letdown" Pattern. In the last 3 years, Bills have 1-2 "letdown losses" at home in November-December: games favored 5+ points but lose or barely win. Cause: Complacency after big games. Bills play best when doubted, but as big home favorites, they often play "flat".​ Tampa Bay: Perfect Upset TeamBucs are 3-1 ATS as road underdogs​Some models predict Bucs 27, Bills 23 upset​Baker Mayfield career-best form, Mike Evans elite, Tampa blitzes top-6 NFL​ Buffalo Weather: November = wind, cold, rain/snow. Favors underdog, makes it a "rock fight".​ Injuries: Bills have 14 on injury report including Dalton Kincaid (OUT), key corners questionable.​ Why SHOCKING? Because everyone focuses on stats/talent, but Bills have history of losing focus in "should-win" home games late season. One fumble, one red-zone INT, one failed 4th-down: that's when underdogs like Bucs flip it.​ Predictions Bills win: Allen clean, Cook 100+, defense holds Mayfield < 21. Bills 27, Bucs 20.​ Bucs upset: Bills complacent, Allen 2 turnovers, bad weather, Bucs physical. Bucs 23, Bills 20.​ Factor #3 explains why spread is only -5.5. Vegas knows Bills have "letdown game" issues at home. 🦬⚡ Circle the wagons, Bills Mafia, but don't get comfortable. This trap game could shock the NFL world.
