The Kansas City Chiefs might not be in desperation mode at 0-2, but a third straight loss would point toward a disastrous season. And there may be a simple fix to their offensive woes. At least they will be favored this week, and here are the Chiefs’ bold predictions for Week 3 Sunday Night Football versus the Giants.
The Chiefs came up six points short against the Chargers (27-21) before falling in Week 2 to the Eagles by a score of 20-17. They’re on the road this week, but it’s against a Giants team that is also winless.
It’s beginning to look like the Patrick Mahomes magic is fading. But will the Sunday night atmosphere help change the team’s fortunes?
Dude is going to get right, and the Chiefs will put up over 30 points against a Giants defense that got shredded against the Cowboys last week.
Clearly, the Chiefs are frustrated. But Mahomes said the team knows the first two opponents were tough, according to Fox Sports.
“We played two good football teams and made mistakes in big moments — stuff that we’re not used to doing,” Mahomes said. “But I think we’re coming together as a team, man. I mean, when you deal with adversity, it’s about how you deal with it, and obviously, this isn’t how we wanted to start. But how are we going to respond? So, I’m excited for the next few weeks to see who wants to be challenged and how we can get back and really get after it.”
In two games, Mahomes has completed only 40 of 68 passes for a terrible 58.8%. That’s not even NFL starter good, let alone anything resembling Mahomes. He has thrown for 445 yards and two touchdowns with a pick.
Mahomes said work is still being done.
“Knowing the guys in the locker room, man, I think they’re just going to respond by working,” Mahomes said. “That’s how we’ve gotten to the point that we’ve gotten to. And our career here in Kansas City is that we believe the work kind of puts out the product.
“Obviously, we’ve never been 0-2, but we’ve had times where we’ve dealt with challenges before and lost games. I think the guys that we have in this locker room will go back to work with that mindset of, ‘we’re going to continue to work even harder,’ so that when we step on that field this next time, we can find a way to win in those big moments, like we haven’t in these first two weeks.”
Reid said the loss to the Eagles didn’t rest on Mahomes’ shoulders.
“I’ll take full responsibility for that game, would probably say too aggressive on that, and that’s my responsibility,” Reid said. “I thought my guys played their tail off and played hard and aggressive football. And they stuck together throughout the game, and...
