The Kansas City Chiefs had a more competitive game against the Philadelphia Eagles in their Super Bowl LIX rematch from Week 2 of the 2025 campaign, but the result didn't change. The Chiefs dropped their Week 2 affair 20-17, pushing them to an 0-2 start for the first time since 2014.

The Chiefs' defense did its best to keep the game competitive for the offense, but the offense has not started the season strongly enough to secure a win. Now that the game is over, here's a breakdown of how Pro Football Focus graded the Chiefs' overall performance.

The Chiefs have found it best to keep their starting offensive line in when protecting Patrick Mahomes, as Mahomes has been having to do double duty as a quarterback and running back thus far this season. They've also shown consistency in Kelce's workload from Week 1 to Week 2.

As the season continues, as quickly as Week 3, Chiefs Kingdom should begin to see utilization on offense spread out even more. The return of Xavier Worthy come Week 3 against the New York Giants will be a positive sign for the workload.

1. QB Patrick Mahomes (70.1)

2. LT Josh Simmons (69.3)

3. RG Trey Smith (67.9)

4. WR Tyquan Thornton (66.9)

5. C Creed Humphrey (66.6)

One standout from the Top 5 is that rookie offensive lineman Josh Simmons is the top offensive lineman for the Week, which should only encourage Chiefs Kingdom.
