**Chiefs Look to Bounce Back Against Lions on Sunday Night Football After Loss to Jaguars**

**Kansas City, MO -** After a disappointing 31-28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, the Kansas City Chiefs (2-3) are set to face the red-hot Detroit Lions (4-1) on Sunday Night Football at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs are looking to get back on track after a two-game winning streak was snapped.

Despite the team’s sluggish start to the 2025 season, quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to perform at a high level. He’s amassed 1,257 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and only two interceptions, while also leading the team in rushing with 190 yards and three touchdowns. However, he and the Chiefs face a tough challenge against a surging Lions team riding a four-game winning streak.

The Week 6 matchup marks only the third home game for the Chiefs this season and their first appearance on Sunday Night Football. The Chiefs are pulling out all the stops for the prime-time event, with “American Idol” finalist Grace Kinstler set to perform “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The Emporia Police Department Honor Guard will present the colors.

Adding to the excitement, former Chiefs defensive end and Pro Football Hall of Famer Jared Allen will serve as the game’s Drum Honoree, a traditional kickoff ritual at Arrowhead. Allen spent his first four seasons with Kansas City (2004-2007) and earned his first Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections during his time with the team.

During halftime, the Lost Wax Band, a Kansas City-based mashup group, will perform a tribute to NFL Crucial Catch, an initiative focused on raising cancer awareness.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
