Eric Bieniemy's "intensity" could help Chiefs get back on track

The Chiefs return to action on Saturday, with their first preseason game of 2026.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to begin their preseason schedule on Saturday, with a significant addition to their coaching staff. Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is back after taking two weeks off following a shooting incident involving his wife, Mia. Tight end Travis Kelce believes that Bieniemy's return will inject the necessary intensity to propel the team back to its former glory.

Kelce stated that the intensity is palpable, and it's an aspect that is sorely missing in the organization. Bieniemy's accountability can be challenging, but when approached correctly, it can lead to improved performance and a stronger team. The Chiefs, once a dominant force winning three Super Bowls in five seasons, have regressed to the point of being considered a afterthought.

Bieniemy's revitalized presence could be the spark the team needs to regain its championship pedigree and compete at the highest level once again.
