The Kansas City Chiefs came Week 2 as underdogs at home, a very rare occurrence for a team with five Super Bowl appearances in the last six seasons. However, the Philadelphia Eagles are the reigning champs, and their talented roster demands that level of respect. As it turns out, oddsmakers knew what they were doing. The Chiefs suffered a 20-17 defeat at home and are now 0-2 in the basement of the AFC West. It's the first time in Mahomes' career that he's lost the first two games of a season, and the Chiefs must take a long look in the mirror after such a depressing offensive effort one week after an abysmal defensive showing. So what are Chiefs fans to take away from the this failed Super Bowl rematch? We've got a few winners and losers here from a frustrating Week 2 showing at Arrowhead. Even the most hyperbolic statements feel like they fall short of describing Patrick Mahomes' impact at this point. No Rashee Rice. No Xavier Worthy. Even Hollywood Brown needed to hit the sidelines for a spell (see below).
