Who Plays on Sunday Night Football Tonight?
Teams:Â Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Jets
Location:Â MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey
Sunday Night Football tonight will showcase the Kansas City Chiefs as they travel to New Jersey to take on Zach Wilson and the New York Jets. Both of these squads had real plans to factor into the AFC playoff race. However, due to a Week 1 injury to Rodgers, it looks like the Chiefs will be sticking to the script, while the Jets are still trying to find their second win of the year.
The Chiefs come into the game 2-1 winning their last two after dropping their Week 1 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Jets, as mentioned, are 1-2 and looking to get their offense going to complement this talented defense.

There have been not-so-quiet rumbles around Wilson and his ability to lead this team. While it hasn’t come to a head just yet, there is a growing sense that the Jets may be forced to make a change at quarterback to try and salvage the season before it gets too far out of hand.
On the other hand, the Chiefs are continuing to get stronger as the season has gone on and look to continue their high level of play late into the season as they try and defend their title.
They’re fresh off a dismantling of a poor Chicago Bears team the week prior, and if they are able to do something similar to this quality Jets defense, they may be able to tell fans and media pundits alike to pump the brakes on the love they’re heaping on the Miami Dolphins and remind them not to forget them.
