For a second straight home game, the Chiefs are an underdog. That’s as much of a sign as anything that their season-opening schedule is a murderer’s row. After next week’s Monday night game in Jacksonville (2-1), the Chiefs get Detroit (2-1), Las Vegas (1-2), Washington (2-1) and Buffalo (3-0) before the bye.

But Patrick Mahomes has a strong advantage in head-to-head meetings with Lamar Jackson, a commanding 5-1 record that includes an AFC championship victory in Baltimore. Jackson is also 0-3 in Kansas City, but he said this week that history will have no influence on Sunday’s game.

“Like I always say, each and every week,” Jackson said Wednesday, “I'm going to be motivated no matter who the opponent is, no matter where it is. I'm just trying to win. I'm already motivated.

“It's in the past. You can't bring what happened back whenever to this year. We just have to lock in on what's ahead right now.”
