The Kansas City Chiefs head to East Rutherford, N.J., this Sunday for a primetime showdown with the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, as Patrick Mahomes and the three-time defending AFC champions look to avoid an 0-3 start, while Russell Wilson and the Giants hope to get their first win of the 2025 season.
This marks a rare early-season meeting between two 0-2 teams. The Chiefs opened 2025 with a loss in Brazil to the Los Angeles Chargers, followed by a narrow defeat in a Super Bowl LIX rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles. Meanwhile, the Giants have struggled on the road, falling to the Washington Commanders in Week 1 and losing a close 40-37 battle to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2 after an overtime interception.
Only 12.2% of NFL teams starting 0-2 have made the playoffs since 2020, and just three have ever won a Super Bowl after such a start — adding extra weight to this matchup.
