The Kansas City Chiefs will aim to get back on track this weekend with a prime-time clash against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football.

Here are five things to keep in mind heading into game day.

1. Here's a look at the final injury report for both teams.

The Chiefs will be without defensive end Mike Danna (quad) and cornerback Kristian Fulton (ankle) on Sunday after losing both players to injuries during last week's game, but in some good news, it looks like wide receivers Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Jalen Royals (knee) each have a shot to play. Both players are officially listed as "Questionable" for Sunday's game, making their collective status something to monitor.

As for the Giants, the major one to watch is the status of starting left tackle Andrew Thomas, who has yet to take the field this season due to a foot injury. Thomas is listed as "Questionable" entering Sunday, and according to Head Coach Brian Daboll, the former All-Pro tackle will be a game-time decision. Another storyline to watch on Sunday will be the Giants' linebacker depth, as New York has three linebackers on the injury report this week in Chauncey Golston (Questionable), Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (Doubtful) and Darius Muasau (Out).

2. It has been a tale of two games for the Giants' offense so far.

The contrast between the Giants' two games so far from an offensive perspective is stark, to say the least.

For starters, New York didn't score a touchdown in Week 1 vs. Washington. The Giants tallied just 231 yards of offense while posting a 4-for-16 mark on third down and averaging only 3.7 yards-per-play. New York also punted on six of its nine possessions, three of which were three-and-outs.

Now, fast-forward to last week against Dallas, where New York recorded 37 points and 506 yards of offense behind the second-best passing day of quarterback Russell Wilson's career. Wilson threw for 450 yards in that game, completing seven passes of at least 25 yards – the most for any quarterback in a single game since midway through last season.

Those throws were legitimate deep balls, too, as New York racked up a ridiculous 316 yards at the catch point last week. Wilson's two primary targets were wide receiver Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, who combined for 17 catches for 309 yards and three touchdowns.

So, it goes without saying that the Chiefs can't allow Wilson and the Giants' passing attack to unleash a similar performance on Sunday night, and a major key to ensuring that doesn't happen will be creating pressure on Wilson. The Cowboys only pressured the Giants' veteran quarterback 10 times last week, but when they did, the difference in Wilson's performance was significant:

Kept Clean: 27-of-34 for 398 yards and two touchdowns

Under Pressure: 3-of-7 passing for 52 yards, one touchdown and one interception

It's also worth mentioning that the Chiefs' defense was vastly improved last week when compared to Week 1, holding Philadelphia to just 216 yards on the day. It wasn't enough in the end last week, but a similar performance on Sunday night would go a long way toward the Chiefs' first victory of the season.

3. The Chiefs will need to find a way to get their running game going on Sunday.

Kansas City currently ranks 17th in the NFL in rushing yards with 219, and 123 of those yards – or 56% - are courtesy of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who leads all quarterbacks in rushing yards by a wide margin through two weeks.

The absence of an effective running game outside of Mahomes was one of the primary reasons Kansas City struggled to move the ball last week, making Sunday's game the perfect opportunity to get the Chiefs' rushing attack going early in the matchup. There's potential for success, too, considering that New York has allowed the most rushing yards-per-game (177.5) of any team through two weeks.

Those rushing statistics are part of some larger overall struggles for the Giants defensively so far, as New York's 455 yards allowed-per-game mark the most of any team in the league. That's all despite an extremely talented defensive front that includes multiple impact players such as Kayvon Thibodeaux, Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence and Abdul Carter, but the best way to mitigate a talented pass-rush is by running the ball, making the effectiveness of Kansas City's rushing attack on Sunday all the more important.

4. Kansas City is aiming to break a somewhat unbelievable stretch in franchise history.

Remarkably, the Chiefs have never beaten the Giants on the road in the history of the two franchises. Kansas City has lost all seven of its trips to play the Giants in New York since 1978, making them the only team the Chiefs have never defeated on the road.

Now, that's not to say that the Chiefs have never won a football game in New York. Kansas City has defeated the New York Jets (and formally the New York Titans) eight times across four different venues (the Polo Grounds, Shea Stadium, Giants Stadium and MetLife Stadium), but never the Giants.

Kansas City will have another chance to change that odd bit of history on Sunday night.

5. The Chiefs' 0-2 start under Patrick Mahomes may be a first, but it's not entirely unfamiliar.

Kansas City is 0-2 to begin the year for the first time in Mahomes' tenure as the Chiefs' starting quarterback, but this year's slow start is reminiscent of the Chiefs' 1-2 (and later 3-4) beginning to the 2021 campaign. Kansas City went on to win 12 games that year and host the AFC Championship Game, making it easy to forget that the Chiefs didn't achieve a winning record until Week 9 of that season. For the players who were around for that in-season turnaround, the experience of overcoming that tough start will hopefully come in handy all these years later.

There's also plenty of precedent for teams that begin 0-2 to later go on and make noise during the postseason. Just last year, three teams (the Ravens, Broncos and Rams) began 0-2 before turning things around and making the playoffs, and in terms of the Super Bowl, three teams (the '93 Cowboys, the '01 Patriots and the '07 Giants) began 0-2 before winning it all later that season.

Additionally, keep in mind that the 2015 season, which featured the Chiefs' postseason win in 22 years, began with a 1-5 mark through six games before Kansas City ripped off 11 straight wins.

So, while an 0-2 start certainly isn't ideal, there's plenty of precedent – both in franchise and NFL history – that shows a tough start doesn't mean the Chiefs can't realize their goals in 2025. It's just a matter of getting back on track, which is exactly what the Chiefs will aim to do on Sunday night in New York.
