Chiefs Set for High-Stakes Grudge Matches in 2025 Schedule

Published: May 17, 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for a thrilling 2025 season with a schedule packed with grudge matches and a league-high 10 national games, per Arrowhead Pride. Patrick Mahomes’ squad will dominate the spotlight with seven prime-time games, facing off against formidable foes like the Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills.

A marquee matchup is the Ravens at Chiefs (Week 4, Sept. 28), where Lamar Jackson seeks redemption after losses in last season’s opener and AFC Championship, per Yahoo Sports. The Chiefs also kick off the international series against the Chargers in Brazil (Week 1), promising a Mahomes-Justin Herbert showdown, per The Athletic.

With 58.8% of their games as standalone contests, the Chiefs face criticism for excessive exposure, but the NFL prioritizes their massive ratings, per CBS Sports. Former Chief Tyreek Hill earned a spot on PFF’s 25-year All-Pro team with a 93.8 career grade, surpassing Julio Jones’ single-season receiving record.

Despite grumbles about their schedule, the Chiefs remain the NFL’s “global team” due to their electrifying play. With Mahomes at the helm, they’re poised to conquer the AFC West and chase Super Bowl LX.

Josh Allen Named AFC Offensive Player of the Week After Insane Week 14 Comeback vs Bengals
For the THIRD time in 2025 and the 18th time in his legendary career, Josh Allen has been crowned AFC Offensive Player of the Week – putting him just behind Tom Brady for the most all-time. What he did to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday wasn’t football… it was a superhero movie. Stats that don’t even sound real: 22/28 (78.6%) – 251 passing yards – 3 passing TDs 9 carries – 78 rushing yards – 1 rushing TD (including a 40-yard sprint for the ages) → 4 total TDs, zero turnovers, and a perfect passer rating in the 4th quarter. The Moments That Broke the Internet Down 11 in the 2nd quarter, 4th-and-4 from the 11-yard line Josh Allen escapes pressure, rolls left, and throws an absolute DIME across his body to Khalil Shakir backing into the end zone. Then hits Dawson Knox for the 2-point conversion. Sean McDermott’s one-word reaction on Monday? “Audacity.” Bengals just took a two-possession lead in the 4th Allen needs only 1:11 to march 75 yards and scores himself on a 40-yard touchdown run – the longest rushing TD by a Bill in regular-season history. Game on the line, 3rd-and-15 with 1:54 left Instead of punting, Josh scrambles for the first down, takes a knee twice, and ends the game. Ballgame. History Made (Again) 11th career game with 3+ passing TDs + 1+ rushing TD → most in NFL history (only player with 10+) First player ever with 20+ pass TDs & 10+ rush TDs in three separate seasons First player ever with multiple games of 250+ pass yds, 75+ rush yds, 3+ pass TDs, 1+ rush TD 50th career game with at least 1 passing + 1 rushing TD → extends his own NFL record Josh Allen didn’t just beat the Bengals – he reminded the entire league why he’s the 2025 MVP front-runner. Bills Mafia, is this the best single-game performance of Josh’s career? Sound off in the comments!
