Overview
- Kansas City fell to 0-2 with a 20-17 loss to Philadelphia after a pass that hit Travis Kelce in the hands was intercepted, marking the franchise’s first 0-2 start since 2014.
- Kelce accepted blame on his New Heights podcast, drew sharp criticism from Shannon Sharpe, and was publicly backed by Andy Reid, who said he would take full responsibility for the loss.
- Mahomes appeared on the Week 3 injury report with a right wrist issue but was a full participant and framed the start as an opportunity to prove the team’s identity.
- The Chiefs visit the Giants on Sunday Night Football at MetLife Stadium (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC/Peacock), where Kansas City is 0-7 all-time on the road against New York; sportsbooks list the Chiefs as 6.5-point favorites.
- Analyst picks heavily lean toward Kansas City, and receivers Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Jalen Royals (knee) could return, while New York’s top-ranked passing offense pairs with a defense ranked last in yards allowed.
