The Kansas City Chiefs want to bounce again in Week 2 after their disappointing season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. If they’re unable to, they’ll do one thing they’ve by no means performed earlier than within the Patrick Mahomes period.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter famous on Sunday that the Chiefs have by no means misplaced three straight since Mahomes was named their beginning quarterback. A loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at dwelling on Sunday can be the third in a row for Andy Reid’s group.
The Chiefs’ recreation towards the Eagles is a rematch of Tremendous Bowl LIX, which the Eagles received 40-22. That was Kansas Metropolis’s earlier recreation earlier than dropping to L.A.
Kansas Metropolis’s passing protection was its greatest concern within the loss to the Chargers. Justin Herbert accomplished 25-of-34 passes for 318 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. The Eagles are a run-first group with Saquon Barkley, however the Chiefs had been burned a number of occasions towards L.A. by dialing up stress and promoting out for the run. That may’t occur on Sunday towards Jalen Hurts, who can also be able to beating a protection along with his legs or arms.
Good groups not often ever string losses collectively, and Mahomes and Reid have averted dropping three straight for the previous seven years. That ought to give them added motivation to keep away from a 0-2 begin to the 2025 season.
