The Kansas City Chiefs face a nearly must-win game against the New York Giants in Week 3 as Patrick Mahomes and his team fight to avoid the disastrous 0-3 start.
With a Giants team coming off a tough overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Brian Daboll's team will be smarting, and playing at MetLife Stadium, this has all the makings of an upset.
But surely the Chiefs have too much in their locker for New York, right?
For CBS Sports' Jeff Kerr, this is the week Kansas City gets its groove back.
"There is pressure on Kansas City to take care of business here, but this is the prototypical "get right game" for the Chiefs," Kerr wrote. "The season should get back on track this week."

Chiefs facing monster Week 3 game
Many believe that the Chiefs will take care of business against the Giants, but it is worth noting that even if they do, and move to 1-2, their next handful of games are daunting.
Facing the Baltimore Ravens, the Detroit Lions, the Washington Commanders, the Buffalo Bills, and then the Denver Broncos in their next seven games. Yuck. So, they won't be out of the woods even with a win, but it would be a good start and would take the pressure off for at least a week.
But then it would all come back with a must-win vs. the Ravens and a chance to properly put the narrative to bed.
Will the Chiefs "get right" in Week 3? They have to, don't they?
