Overview

  • The Chiefs opened 2025 with one-score losses to the Chargers in Brazil and the Eagles at home, marking their first 0-2 start since 2014.
  • Patrick Mahomes framed the skid as a chance to prove the team’s identity and stressed an urgent mindset heading into Sunday Night Football at the Giants.
  • Through two games, Kansas City’s running backs have totaled 94 yards on 28 carries with no touchdowns, while Mahomes leads the team with 123 rushing yards and two rushing scores.
  • Mahomes has completed 58.8% of his passes for 445 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, an uncharacteristically modest aerial start.
  • Head coach Andy Reid acknowledged the ground game needs improvement, and Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox has floated Browns RB Jerome Ford as a speculative trade target.
