Chiefs face tough 2026 schedule
It looks like a daunting set of games.
The Broncos and Chargers aren't going anywhere in the division. Neither are the Patriots, Bills, Bengals, Rams, 49ers, and Seahawks. All are expected to be playoff teams next year.
That group accounts for 10 of Kansas City's 17 games.
Who knows what the Raiders, Jets, Dolphins, Colts, and Falcons will be, with changes sweeping through the organizations.
If the Chiefs were looking for a softer landing in 2026, they didn't get it.
Yes, the Raiders and Jets appear to be the "easy" teams on the schedule, but we know things in the NFL aren't easy.
