Winless sides meet beneath the glimmering “Sunday Night Football” lights at MetLife Stadium, as the Kansas City Chiefs face off with the New York Giants.

Such a matchup seemed unlikely before the season. Kansas City has long been a buzzsaw, falling just short of a third straight Super Bowl title in 2024. With Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones leading the charge, another strong campaign appeared inevitable.

That can still happen in 2025. But through two games, Kansas City looks flat. Losses to the Chargers and Eagles aren’t disastrous, but for a team as ruthless as the Chiefs have been, the results — and the performances that produced them — are certainly cause for concern.

The Giants, meanwhile, have been plagued by inconsistency through the first two weeks. Russell Wilson caught fire in New York’s Week 2 matchup with the Cowboys, amassing 450 yards and three touchdowns.

Chiefs vs. Giants live updates, highlights from ‘Sunday Night Football’

9:22 p.m.: After climbing into New York territory, Butker lined up for his third field goal attempt in as many drives. This one spurned the right upright entirely. Kansas City’s attack leaves more points on the board.

9:15 p.m.: INTERCEPTION! Wilson’s errant toss is retrieved by Christian Roland-Wallace, who brings the ensuing effort into Kansas City territory!

9:05 p.m.: FIELD GOAL! Butker doubles the Chiefs’ advantage courtesy of a try from 48 yards out.

Chiefs 6, Giants 0

End of first quarter: Chiefs 3, Giants 0

8:55 p.m.: The Giants’ second drive of the day ends in ashes, courtesy of a punt. Kansas City will receive the ball to start the second half.

8:40 p.m.: FIELD GOAL! Harrison Butker clanks his effort off the upright — and in — to give the Chiefs an early lead. Uneven start from Mahomes, who brought the team down the field but also missed a few passes, including an open pass to Travis Kelce.

Chiefs 3, Giants 0

8:25 p.m.: Kansas City gets the ball back after coaxing a turnover on downs out of the Giants’ attack.

8:10 p.m.: And we’re off! The Giants will receive the ball to start the affair.

8:00 p.m.: New York will be pegged back in special teams after Graham Gano was ruled out with injury right before the game. The Giants will likely rely on punter Jamie Gillan to fill in for Gano. He didn’t fare all that well the last time he was asked to fulfill such a duty, missing his sole PAT attempt in New York’s loss to Washington last year.

7:45 p.m.: Here’s a look at Chiefs standout Patrick Mahomes firing darts ahead of tonight’s match. It will be interesting to see how many chances he’ll get to fire passes on Sunday — after all, he’s been one of the league’s most productive runners thus far this season.

7:30 p.m.: Here’s a look at the inactives for tonight’s matchup.
