4 away/away games (everyone remember how much Vermeil hated those?)
week 6 bye
Only 1 game played at the same day and time the next week.
That is brutal, no consistency in anything and with no breaks and odd schedule it is going to be grind at the end of the year.
Texans one away/away games, Ravens 2, both with week 14 byes. Just if you wanted to know who the NFL was choosing this year to be good... [Reply]
My models indicate the Chiefs are on their way to winning their ninth straight AFC West division title. Despite two tough games to start the season (hosting the Ravens and Bengals), the schedule is favorable for the reigning Super Bowl Champs, who are not slated to be underdogs in my models in any of their 17 contests. Next Gen Stats show that Kansas City's passing offense averaged just 6.5 air yards per attempt in 2023, the second-lowest mark in the NFL. The addition of receivers Hollywood Brown (free agency) and Xavier Worthy (Round 1 of the draft) should help change things. The Chiefs also benefit from the fact that their hardest four-game stretch of the season comes late in the slate (Weeks 14-17), which means they have a lot of time to establish their offensive identity before facing the likes of the Chargers, Browns, Texans and Steelers in December.
Playing on Sunday and the following Wednesday is fucking ridiculous. I hope playoff seeding is settled by Christmas, and KC rests every starter that day. [Reply]

Fwiw - we have a Saturday home game against the Texans before the Wednesday Christmas game. Still bad, but not as bad. [Reply]

6-0 vs the AFC West this season.
All three of those shit teams have given the Chiefs varying degrees of bulletin board material/extra motivation to curb stomp them this season. [Reply]
