The Kansas City Chiefs defense has increased their takeaways over the last two games, adding a missing dynamic from earlier in the season. All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie described the group's energy during his postgame press conference after Saturday's victory.

Forget about the meaningless late touchdowns, Indiana didn't belong in the College Football Playoff at Notre Dame. The mistake can't happen again. The Senate voted overwhelmingly in the early hours of Saturday to pass legislation to boost Social Security benefits for more than 2 million Americans.

Before earning the first interception of his NFL career off quarterback Jameis Winston in the Kansas City Chiefs' 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns on December 15, Trent McDuffie had gone 1,498 days between picks.

The Kansas City Chiefs are nursing a seven-point halftime lead in their Week 16 matchup against the Houston Texans, and have relied on Steve Spagnuolo's outstanding defense to keep momentum on their side.
