The Chiefs’ YouTube offerings include the long-form series, “The Franchise.” The NFL is a copycat league on the field and, all too often, on digital media. The league’s content teams are keenly aware of what everyone else is doing, which is why there are a lot of indistinguishable posts across platforms. Contract-signing photos, “Hard Knocks”-like long-form series, hype videos — social media osmosis means the playbook looks the same. But the best digital teams are leaders, not followers.

CHARLOTTE – Defensive end Brian Burns is active for Sunday's game at Washington. Burns, who head coach Matt Rhule this week called "more than likely out" but who was listed as questionable, is going to play through a knee sprain he suffered in last Saturday's loss at Green Bay. Burns leads the Panthers with 8.0 sacks and will keep his streak intact of playing every game since the Panthers took him in the first round of the 2019 draft.

CHARLOTTE – Defensive end Brian Burns is listed as questionable for Sunday's trip to Washington, giving him a slightly better chance to play than the three Panthers who are doubtful. That's the designation for running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh), left tackle Russell Okung (calf) and cornerback Troy Pride Jr. (hip). For McCaffrey, it would be his 12th missed game this season. Okung has been limited to seven games, while Pride has appeared in every game as a rookie.
