The Chiefs are coming off of a heart-breaking 19-12 loss to the Texans.

The Jets came into this game after a huge day against the Buffalo Bills, who also have talented corners.
What really happened to the Jets this week was an absolute thumping at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Different year? It nearly felt the same as last year as I watched the first half of the game.

The Chiefs did a nice job scoring off of all the first half turnovers. The Jets were driving down the field with the momentum and neared the goal line. Touchback is fair play, perhaps, but it was the Jets’ fourth giveaway of the game. On the defense, Kansas City is allowing 23.0 points and 369.5 yards per game against the opponents.
On the offense, NY is averaging 29.5 points nad 416.5 yards per game. He stunk up the joint in the first half and in critical moments in the red zone when the game was not yet lost in the second half before a few more late picks made the stat-line look like an unmitigated disaster.
Marshall suffered a shoulder injury near the end of the game, but said he is OK.
Darrelle Revis has always been considered the NFL’s premier lockdown cornerback. He was able to utilize his two best receivers to perfection, while moving the ball easily against the Bills. The trio combined for less than 100 yards receiving and no touchdowns. Alex Smith had a number of passes 10-down the field. Who can forget, especially Ryan Fitzpatrick, what the Bills did to our playoff hopes last season.
Eric Berry picked off a pass in the end zone late in the third quarter, and a fumbled kick return by the Jets’ Jalin Marshall was returned 27 yards by Demetrius Harris for a touchdown.
One of the prop bets offered by Las Vegas this week is whether Elliott will continue his fumbling issues when the Cowboys host the Chicago Bears Sunday night.
The 2016 Jets are capable of piling up points with big plays and long drives. So, it doesn’t help that the top three wide receivers are banged up to some degree.
Fitzpatrick said the Chiefs had dropped both ends into coverage, and the safety cheated toward Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker.
Last week the Jets showed what they are capable of being. Kansas City got that and more today.
SEATTLE – Russell Wilson threw for 243 yards and a touchdown before suffering a left knee injury and Seattle rolled to a rout of San Francisco.
Fitzpatrick’s previous high interception game came in 2005, his rookie year, when he had five in his third ever game as a pro. You can not discount the fact that the Chiefs are incredibly hard to beat in Arrowhead Stadium. Kansas City’s passing game also should be able to take advantage of a shaky Jets secondary. But if you have a backup playing an early game, it’s probably best to play it safe and keep Marshall on the bench. But perhaps Kansas City’s biggest concern is the overall health of its roster. Two starting offensive linemen are beat up, still no Jamaal Charles, and the defense has several key players dealing with injures. This is a tough matchup to get a read on. Looks a little different when you put it like that, right?
