Three things to watch

Will Mahomes settle at home?

Mahomes has struggled with impatience Torry Holt Jersey looking for the big play, leading to uncharacteristic sacks and interceptions. He needs to calm down, take some checkdowns and trust a more balanced offense when home runs are not available, setting for more effective singles and doubles. That will open up the long ball again for Mahomes.

How will the Giants help Jones?

The Giants are hopeful wide receivers Kadarius Toney (ankle) and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) can return to help Darius Slayton and Evan Engram. The Chiefs' run defense is also shaky enough to get more out of backup running back Taylor Rapp Jersey Devontae Booker. Jones plays well when his support system comes through.

Will the Chiefs' defense rebound?

The Merlin Olsen Jersey Chiefs' other big problem has been on the other side of the ball. Injuries have been a factor, but Steve Spanguolo's group has had trouble getting off the field and making enough big plays to counter how many it can give up.
