Inside the Lines: Chiefs vs. Giants

The Chiefs are headed back to Arrowhead Stadium and looking to stay undefeated, while the Giants are struggling to break into the win column.

However, as strong as the Chiefs have started this season, they are 2-10 all-time against the Giants. The last victory over New York was almost two decades ago in 1995, when the Chiefs beat the Giants 20-17. The only other win was in 1983, with Mike Bell and Ken Kremer when Chiefs won 38-17 at Arrowhead Stadium.
