Chiefs Make Huge Announcement on RB Kareem Hunt Before Cowboys Game
The Kansas City Chiefs faced one of their toughest challenges of the 2025 NFL season in Week 12, as they had to go up against a very good Indianapolis Colts squad, led by a veteran quarterback Daniel Jones and NFL MVP candidate in running back Jonathan Taylor.
Although the Colts appeared to be in control throughout the majority of the game in front of the diehard Chiefs fans at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Patrick Mahomes and company were resilient, forcing overtime and ultimately coming out on top due to a game-winning field goal.
Along with Mahomes throwing for 352 yards, veteran running back Kareem Hunt had himself a game and was a big reason the team is now over .500 at 6-5.
Kareem Hunt Earns AFC Offensive Player of the Week Honors

Hunt racked up 130 yards and a rushing touchdown on 30 carries during the overtime win over the Colts, which was enough to be named AFC Offensive Player of the Week, as the team announced on Wednesday ahead of Thanksgiving.
In 11 games played so far this season for the Chiefs, the Toledo product has scored as many rushing touchdowns as he did in the 13 games he played during the 2024 campaign. He’s also added a receiving touchdowns with 549 yards from scrimmage.
Although Hunt isn’t the same player that he was as a rookie with the Chiefs, where he exploded on the NFL scene racking up 1,782 yards from scrimmage and 11 total touchdowns, he’s still played an important role in his second stint in Kansas City.
It remains to be seen how Hunt’s role will be impacted when Isiah Pacheco returns for the Thanksgiving Day clash with the Dallas Cowboys on the road at AT&T Stadium. The Chiefs also brought in former Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce this week, who was added to the practice squad.
Final Stretch Crucial for Chiefs

With the win over the Colts last week, the Chiefs were finally able to get over .500 at 6-5, but how the rest of the season will pan out or if Kansas City can clinch a playoff spot remains to be seen.
Andy Reid’s squad will face some tough challenges in the final stretch of the 2025 NFL regular season. The storied franchise will take on the high-powered offense of the Cowboys on Thanksgiving followed by matchups against the resurgent Houston Texans (Week 14), division rival Los Angeles Chargers (Week 15), Tennessee Titans (Week 16), Denver Broncos (Week 17) and Las Vegas Raiders (Week 18).
Although there’s a few potentially easy matchups in this final stretch, namely the games against the Titans and Raiders, every other matchup will be tough, as they are all potential playoff teams playing for a spot in the postseason and seeding in the AFC.
The matchup with the Broncos will likely be the most interesting, considering how close the last meeting was between the two AFC West squads. It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out for the Chiefs and whether they can be playoff bound yet again or see their decade-long streak of postseason appearances come to an end.
Jarren Duran Honors Oklahoma School Bus Driver Tina Hutcherson’s Heartwarming Gesture – Pledges $100,000 Donation to Spread the Good Deed
Boston, MA – In a powerful show of generosity and community support, Boston Red Sox star Jarren Duran has praised Oklahoma school bus driver Tina Hutcherson for her extraordinary act of kindness, pledging $100,000 to help expand her mission. Hutcherson, known for knitting hats to provide warmth for her students during the cold winter months, has caught the attention of the sports world, and Duran is now stepping up to support her cause.
Duran, who has a history of community involvement and giving back, took to social media to commend Hutcherson for her selflessness. “Tina Hutcherson is the definition of kindness and generosity,” Duran wrote. “What she’s doing for these kids goes far beyond just keeping them warm. She’s showing them that love and care can make a real difference in their lives.”
Hutcherson’s story began when she noticed that many of her students, who rely on the school bus to get to class, lacked proper winter clothing to protect them from the cold. Moved by their struggles, Hutcherson started knitting hats in her spare time and distributing them to the children. Her small act of kindness quickly grew into a community sensation, as local families and neighbors rallied around her generous efforts.
Inspired by Hutcherson’s actions, Duran pledged a $100,000 donation to help expand her efforts. This donation will go toward providing warm clothing, such as coats, gloves, and hats, to children in need across Oklahoma.
“I’m so inspired by what Tina is doing,” Duran said in an interview. “When you see someone doing something so selfless for others, it makes you want to step up and help. I hope that my donation will allow Tina to reach even more kids who need warmth and support this winter.”
The $100,000 donation will allow Hutcherson to expand her knitting efforts and ensure that every child in need receives proper winter clothing. Hutcherson, who has been overwhelmed by the support, expressed her deep gratitude to Duran. “I never imagined anything like this would happen,” Hutcherson said tearfully. “To know that someone like Jarren Duran believes in what I’m doing means the world to me. This donation will help so many kids, and I am incredibly thankful to him for making this possible.”
Duran’s contribution is just the latest example of his commitment to giving back. Over the years, the Boston Red Sox outfielder has been involved in numerous charitable causes, including youth programs, homelessness initiatives, and educational scholarships.
Hutcherson’s selfless act has not only impacted the children she serves, but it has also inspired others to find ways to help those in need. Duran’s donation is a reminder of how one person’s kindness can create a ripple effect of good throughout an entire community.
“Helping others is what we’re here for,” Duran concluded. “Tina Hutcherson has set an example for all of us, and I’m just happy to be a part of it.”
