Kansas City Chiefs Start 2024 NFL Season 0-2 Amid Historic Struggles

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 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. This slow start is notable as it marks the first time Patrick Mahomes has lost two games early in a season, breaking their previous undefeated streak in close games. The Chiefs' offense struggled, with missed connections between Mahomes and key receiver Travis Kelce, while the defense showed improvement, holding the Eagles to 217 yards of total offense. Despite the rough start, experts note that the Chiefs still have a chance to recover and make the playoffs, as the 17-game season allows more room for error and historically, the team performs well under playoff pressure. The upcoming game against the New York Giants will be critical for the Chiefs to regain momentum. Both sides featured star quarterbacks, with analysts highlighting the challenge Mahomes faces to overcome the Eagles’ strong performance and the need for the offense to re-ignite its effectiveness.
