On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs collected a 20-17 home-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

It would be an understatement to say the team’s offense was lackluster.

Although the offense gained 294 total yards — nearly 60 more than the Eagles — it failed to move the ball consistently, struggling in multiple areas. It converted only four of 12 third-down attempts and couldn’t create any explosive plays until late in the game.

Patrick Mahomes finished 16 of 29 for 187 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also led all Chiefs rushers with 66 yards and a touchdown. Despite...

On Sunday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport confirmed that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy suffered more than just a shoulder dislocation in the team’s season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. According to Rapoport, Worthy sustained a fully torn labrum during the game.

In my injury analysis published last Tuesday, I identified a torn labrum as a likely outcome from the shoulder dislocation Worthy suffered in Week 1. These often create a shearing force on the labrum, making such an injury highly probable.

The labrum is a thick rim of cartilage that helps stabilize the shoulder joint. It deepens...

It’s pretty frustrating for Kansas City Chiefs fans to see where their favorite team is now ranked. But as most of these outlets point out, the team is now 0-2 — something that has happened only once during head coach Andy Reid’s tenure. From 2000 through 2012, however, the team started 0-2 nine times. I promise you: most of those 0-2 Chiefs teams weren’t ranked nearly as highly as Kansas City is in Week 3.

Perspective is everything.

Here’s this week’s sampling:

There’s legitimate concern over the state of the offense, even if...

Entering the 2025 season, one of the biggest questions facing the Kansas City Chiefs was about the young players who would occupy the left side of the offensive line. At left tackle, the team would start rookie Josh Simmons — and at left guard, inexperienced second-year player Kingsley Suamataia would take over for veteran Joe Thuney.

While their performance has immediate consequences, their long-term development is also crucial to the team’s future. Now that center Creed Humphrey and right guard Trey Smith are locked into expensive long-term contracts, the left side of Kansas City’s line needs to be an affordable...

Isiah Pacheco should the Chiefs’ clear RB1

I think two things can be true.

The Chiefs have one of the weakest running back rooms in the league. In the same breath, that doesn’t mean they can’t be productive. When you have a quarterback as good as Patrick Mahomes, defenses have to respect his ability to make plays all over the field.

In the game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Mahomes led...

Five Things We Learned in NFL Week 2: Chiefs Are No Longer Among NFL’s Elite | SI

The Eagles usually have to do more than lean on the tush push to beat the legitimate contenders, but it’s been easy for them to push around the Chiefs in their past two meetings, including Sunday’s 20–17 win and the Super Bowl LIX rout.

Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean the Chiefs are no longer contenders because of the very concerning 0–2 start. But it’s safe to say they have become inferior competition for the undefeated Eagles. ...

For the NFL’s Week 2, we have a “Monday Night Football” doubleheader: the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers at (0-1) Houston Texans beginning at 6 p.m. Arrowhead Time on ESPN and ABC (locally on KMBC/9) — and then following that game at 9 p.m., it’s an AFC West matchup between the (1-0) Los Angeles Chargers at (1-0) Las Vegas Raiders.

Let’s talk about tonight’s matchups!

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs will go on the road to play the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on the Week 3 edition of “Sunday Night Football.” Kickoff is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. Arrowhead Time.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Kansas City has opened as a 5.5-point favorite in the game.

In Week 1, the Chiefs opened as 3-point favorite against the Los Angeles Chargers at Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil — but lost that game 27-21. The following week, Kansas City started as a 1.5-point home underdog to the Philadelphia Eagles — and on...

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs fell to 0-2 after recording a 20-17 home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. On Monday, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid had his weekly Zoom session with local reporters as his team began preparations for its Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants on “Sunday Night Football.”

Reid had no new information about injuries in his opening statement, explaining that the players were just then beginning to “trickle in” to the facility — although in response to a later question, he said that when rookie left tackle Josh Simmons temporarily left Sunday’s game, it...

At this point, what’s predictable and what’s surprising?

During the Patrick Mahomes era, the Kansas City Chiefs had never lost three in a row, so seeing the team drop to 0-2 after its 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was jarring.

Yet the way the Chiefs lost felt like the same old story. The running game wasn’t effective. Mahomes did his best to play hero, but his receivers often let him down. Finally, an untimely (unlucky?) turnover ended up being the difference in the game.

So what should we think about this team? Is the sky falling because it lost...

This isn’t the way we wanted to start the season, but here we are.

In Sunday’s matchup, nothing came easy for either team. The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense once again came out slow, struggling to move the ball. The difference was that the Philadelphia Eagles also struggled offensively. So it became a tightly-contested game in which a costly red-zone turnover made the difference, as the Chiefs lost their home opener 20-17.

Here are five things we learned.

1. The Chiefs can’t run the ball

We are two games into the season. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not just the Chiefs’...

NFL Week 2 overreactions: Chiefs going to miss playoffs? Passing yards don’t matter with Hurts? | CBS Sports

The Chiefs will miss the playoffs

Overreaction or reality: Overreaction

Hard to believe this is a conversation, but this is the reality when the Chiefs are 0-2 to start a season (the first time for the Chiefs since 2014). The last time the Chiefs started 0-2 under Andy Reid, they finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs. Kansas City has never lost three straight games under Patrick Mahomes (including postseason).

Starting 0-2 for...
