Kansas City Chiefs to follow NFL opener against Baltimore with a trip to another huge rival in Week 2
The Kansas City Chiefs will follow up their 2024 home opener against the Baltimore Ravens by traveling to another AFC North team just a week later.
Ahead of the release of the full schedule on Wednesday night, the Super Bowl champion’s second game has now been revealed in advance.
And it has been announced that Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co will hit the road for a tough matchup in Week 2.
They will face Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, who won the AFC North in 2021 and 2022 and reached the Super Bowl in the first of those two seasons.
Although the Bengals have had a rough season in 2023 and missed the playoffs, Burrow and Co will be a formidable opponent for the Chiefs after beating them three of the last five times they have played.
However, the last two ended with Chiefs wins, with Mahomes leading KC to a 25-17 victory when the teams met on New Year’s Eve last season.
Cincinnati fans have used their three wins over Mahomes’ Chiefs in recent years to fuel the rivalry.
