Chiefs Start 0-2 First Time in Mahomes Era After Eagles Loss

The Kansas City Chiefs have started the 2025 NFL season with an 0-2 record for the first time since 2014, following a narrow 20-17 home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch. The Eagles' defense played a critical role, limiting the Chiefs to 294 total yards and forcing a decisive late interception from Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes struggled without key receivers Rashee Rice, who is suspended, and injured rookie Xavier Worthy, managing only 187 passing yards but contributing 66 rushing yards and a touchdown. The Chiefs' offense has shown signs of decline compared to previous seasons, lacking the depth to consistently challenge opponents despite Mahomes' continued talent. Historically, teams starting 0-2 face a challenging playoff path, and the Chiefs now trail in the AFC West early in the season. They will look to rebound in their upcoming game against the New York Giants, hoping for the return of their sidelined receivers to restore their offensive potency.
