What happened: Kansas City returns to regular-season play on Sunday after a full week off, a spot where head coach Andy Reid has compiled an .815 career clip across 27 games.

Why it matters: Reid ranks second among all NFL head coaches in post-bye performance, trailing only Harbaugh's 15-3 ledger. The extra rest and preparation window historically gives Kansas City's staff an edge entering the middle portion of the schedule.

What to watch: Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday with the score at 0-0 prior to opening action.
