The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off another embarrassing loss. Will Patrick Mahomes be able to right the ship against the Giants?
Just as a game against Washington was the perfect antidote to prior Chiefs’ struggles, a matchup with the Giants is just what Kansas City needed after being blown out by the Titans.
New York is 2-5 but their Week 7 was much more pleasant than the Chiefs. They took it to Carolina in a 25-3 victory.
Will KC be able to turn around the negative momentum in order to stop the Giants in their tracks?
5 bold predictions for Chiefs vs. Giants
Patrick Mahomes will continue his INT streak
Patrick Mahomes is on an unprecedented run with interceptions for his career. In six straight games, he has put the ball in the hands of the other team. That surpassed one other stretch of five games with an interception from his first season as a starter.
The streak has to end eventually, but it won’t be this week.
Mahomes has been forcing things all season, with the pressure to make things happen heightened by defensive problems. That pressure isn’t going anywhere.
The Giants defense has picked off a pass in each of the last four games and they have six in seven games. Mahomes’ bad luck will continue.
