Match-ups
With the AFC West in turmoil, the focus will be on non-divisional games, and there are some exciting ones.
One of the most intriguing battles will be against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as Mahomes faces Tom Brady for the fourth time. Brady won the first two during the 2018 season with the New England Patriots, but the Chiefs handed New England a rare loss at Gillette Stadium in Week 14 last year.
Brady has a new team around him, but the quarterback battle in Week 12 should remain exciting.
The same could be said about the Week 15 game against the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome, a matchup some have expected in the Super Bowl the last two years but never came to fruition.
Still, the most important game on the schedule will be on the road against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3.
With the way Lamar Jackson played last season, it's clear Baltimore is the biggest threat to Kansas City returning to the Super Bowl next year.
The Chiefs have beaten the Ravens in close games each of the last two years, but both came at Arrowhead Stadium. The team must now go to M&T Bank Stadium in a game that could decide the AFC.
