Team Previews
Kansas City's offense has struggled in recent weeks, scoring only a field goal in a Week 7 loss at Seattle and falling 27-24 in Denver in Week 8. The running game has been hampered by injuries to the offensive line, with Kenneth Walker III averaging just 3 yards per carry on 105 rushing yards over that span. The Chiefs received a boost with the return of Rashee Rice, who caught seven passes for 53 yards and a touchdown last week.
The Jets' offense has shown flashes, putting up 33 and 25 points in their last two games behind quarterback Geno Smith and a receiving corps featuring Garrett Wilson, Omar Cooper Jr., and Adonai Mitchell. However, the defense under coordinator Aaron Glenn has allowed 26, 28, and 38 points during the three-game skid.
