The Kansas City Chiefs managed to get their first win of the 2023 season in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after dropping their first game against the Detroit Lions.
Kansas City is squarely in the middle of the pack in the NFL ahead of Week 3 action, but one thing will work in the Chiefs’ favor over the next six games: the abysmal combined record of their opponents.
#Chiefs next six games:
– Week 3: Bears
– Week 4: at Jets
– Week 5: at Vikings
– Week 6: Broncos
– Week 7: Chargers
– Week 8: at Broncos… Combined record: 1-11. pic.twitter.com/QTF5Oe9mL6

Over the next six weeks, Kansas City will face teams that have, at least for now, a combined record of 1-11. The New York Jets are the only team that has secured a win, which came in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills in overtime.
Wins don’t come easy in the NFL, and the Chiefs will still have the same target on their backs as defending Super Bowl champions, but if ever there was an indication that a team might go on a hot streak, this shocking statistic is it.
