The Kansas City Chiefs have shown a strong start to the 2024-25 NFL season, placing them ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals, albeit early in the year.

Quarterback Joe Burrow's return is crucial for the Bengals, despite a rough opening with a loss to the New England Patriots. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo respects Burrow's abilities and emphasizes the challenge he poses for the Chiefs, citing the effectiveness of both Burrow and head coach Zac Taylor's strategies.

Though Burrow's Week 1 performance was lacking, with limited yardage and multiple sacks, the Chiefs remain cautious. As they gear up for a key Week 2, they recognize Burrow's potential impact.
