The Chiefs still hardly resemble the team that has reached at least the AFC Championship game every year since 2018 — and their once potent offense remains disjointed at best.Entering Week 3 with a 0-2 record, Kansas City desperately needed a win in any fashion it could get one on Sunday. For a team with a legendary quarterback and Super Bowl aspirations, however, the ugliness of the Chiefs’ offensive slog against the Giants left a lot to be desired moving forward.“Good win to get, in particular when you haven’t had one,” head coach Andy Reid said after. Patrick Mahomes throws as New York Giants outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux chases him on Sunday.Seth Wenig / APQuarterback Patrick Mahomes finished the game 22-of-37 for 224 yards and one touchdown, with an 85.9 passer rating. He has yet to break a passer rating of 90.0 so far this season, despite boasting a career mark of 101.8 before Sunday.And his so-so game didn’t necessarily come against a great defense — Mahomes’s passing total and 6.1 yards per attempt were both the lowest for any quarterback who has played New York this year. Overall, through three games, Mahomes’s passer rating, yards per attempt and completion percentage would all be career lows if they carried through for the rest of the season.“I feel like we were moving the ball the right way,” Mahomes said postgame. “We have to clean stuff up and get better and better.”He added: “For us, just executing all the way throughout a drive and seeing that, that’s what we want to be. We have to continue to do that more often.”To be fair, Mahomes’s receiving corps still leaves a lot to be desired, even if Tyquan Thornton had some nice moments in the second half against the New York. Kansas City still doesn’t have a player with over 100 yards receiving in a single game yet so far this year. Travis Kelce, once one of the league’s most feared tight ends, has 10 catches for 134 yards through three games. He is on pace for 759 yards receiving this season, which would be the lowest mark of his career, one year after he set a new career low in 2024. (And that’s with the recent benefit of a 17th regular-season game.)Perhaps in an attempt to fire him up, Reid was caught in a heated conversation with Kelce late in the second quarter, with him and the tight end bumping chests.“He’s a passionate guy and I love that part,” Reid said of the exchange. “I’ve been through a lot of things with him, that’s all part of it. I love that he loves to play the game.”The offense wasn’t alone in its struggles, as the Chiefs’ miscues extended to the whole team.Harrison Butker missed multiple kicks, including a field goal and an extra point.Kansas City committed eight penalties for 85 yards, including multiple on a first-half drive that led to a Giants touchdown. It wasn’t exactly a sterling effort from the Chiefs, who were bailed out in large part due to two Russell Wilson interceptions — as well as a bizarre decision by Wilson to seemingly throw away the ball on a late 4th-and-goal.“We’ve been searching for one win and try to figure out how we can get this thing going,” linebacker Nick Bolton said. “The main thing now is just keep working, keep stacking and try to get another, then get another win.”For now, Kansas City is certainly happy to come away with a victory. But it’s hard to imagine the team rising to the top of the AFC with more performances like Sunday’s.Only two of the Chiefs’ next eight opponents have a record under .500, and both of those contests will be against divisional rivals. Meanwhile, over the next two months, Kansas City will have to play the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills, Washington Commanders and the currently undefeated Indianapolis Colts, all of whom have been much more impressive early in the season. Ultimately, the Chiefs took care of business against a lesser foe on Sunday. If Kansas City continues on its current trajectory, however, it still doesn’t look like the kind of team that could live up to its past success.

Oct. 8, 2025, 3:42 PM EDT / Updated Oct. 8, 2025, 3:50 PM EDTBy Steve KopackThe Internal Revenue Service said it is placing more than 34,000 employees, or about 46% of its workforce, on furlough starting Wednesday as the government shutdown stretches into its second week.The agency will also temporarily pause many taxpayer services, such as answering phone calls. The independent Taxpayer Advocate Service will also cease operations due to the lapse in funding.The agency added that most administrative functions will also come to a halt, as will many planning activities.”Today, due to the government shutdown the American people lost access to many vital services provided by the IRS when the agency furloughed thousands of employees,” national Treasury employees union president Doreen Greenwald said.Americans can now expect longer wait times, delays in changes to the tax code and backlogs, she said. “Taxpayers around the country will now have a much harder time getting the assistance they need, just as they get ready to file their extension returns due next week.”Filing deadlines still apply for taxpayers during a government shutdown. Oct. 15 is the deadline for those who secured an extension on their 2024 taxes.Greenwald said that many employees faced a “lack of planning” about their job status until supervisors and managers informed employees of the furloughs Wednesday.Furloughs are a temporary unpaid leave. Workers are expected to return to their roles once government funding is replenished by Congress. Historically, workers who remain on the job can be unpaid but receive back pay once the shutdown is resolved.President Donald Trump and his administration have threatened permanent job cuts and back pay denials in addition to furloughs. On Tuesday, a draft White House memo came to light in which the administration argued that federal workers may not be entitled to back pay. “This is not the way our government should treat its dedicated nonpartisan public servants,” she added.Few operations will continue, although nearly 40,000 employees will remain paid and on the job preparing for the coming tax season, according to a shutdown plan released Wednesday.IRS functions that are required to keep the Social Security Administration running will also continue.The IRS declined to comment beyond the shutdown plan.Steve KopackSteve Kopack is a senior reporter at NBC News covering business and the economy.
