That wasn't exactly the hoped-for start to a new Chiefs' season. Following up an absolutely abysmal showing in the Super Bowl with a flattened effort in Week 1 has raised concerns in Chiefs Kingdom and emboldened critics on a national level.
That makes things look tenuous entering Week 2. Even the most fervent Chiefs fans are talking about the very real potential of starting 0-2, given that their scheduled opponent is the Philadelphia Eagles. That's certainly n,ot a death knell on what always turns out to be a very long season, but considering the Chiefs only lost two games one year ago—including a Week 18 non-effort against the Broncos—this is very unfamiliar terrain.
