Overview

• Kansas City enters Week 3 at MetLife Stadium needing a result to avoid 0-3 before dates with the Ravens and Lions.
• Analysts describe the offense as stuck in neutral with Patrick Mahomes carrying too much of the load, with ESPN’s Bill Barnwell calling the issues severe.
• The run game has produced just 94 yards on 28 carries from Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt with zero touchdowns, and OC Matt Nagy says the team will ride the hot hand.
• New York arrives with momentum after scoring 37 points behind Russell Wilson, buoyed by improved line play and a pass rush led by Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter and Dexter Lawrence.
• Kansas City’s defense showed encouraging signs and is expected to lean on Steve Spagnuolo’s pressure packages against Wilson, while some projections, including CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco, tip the Chiefs to steady themselves.
