Five Reasons Why New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs Haven’t Faced Off in 1300+ Days in the NFL?

The Kansas City Chiefs are shaping up to become one formidable team this NFL season. These reigning champs are on a relentless quest to ensure that the coveted Lombardi Trophy finds a cozy spot on their mantelpiece. Sporting a 2-1 record, the Chiefs are locked and loaded for their next helmet-clashing showdown with the New York Jets. It’s been a whopping 3-year wait, but the Chiefs and the Jets are finally set to lock horns once again.

Now, that’s what we call ‘gridiron anticipation.’ Speaking of which, here are 5 reasons why the Jets and Chiefs have been keeping us in suspense since their heart-pounding 2020 clash.

The NFL Rotation System

According to the NFL rotation System, every team plays each other once in four years. Of course, this is to make sure that there are no repetitions in the teams fighting each other and that all 32 teams get a chance to clash with each other. 

 Patrick Mahomes vs. Aaron Rodgers 

Patrick Mahomes is absolutely the talk of the town right now. Meanwhile, the Jets’ QB, Aaron Rodgers, once basked in the glory days after guiding his former squad, the Green Bay Packers, to Super Bowl triumph. But currently, Mahomes is shining brighter than ever, especially with Rodgers sidelined for the season due to an ACL tear. The eagerly anticipated showdown between the ‘rising star’ and the ‘gridiron legend’ is still hanging in the balance.

 Equal Match-ups

The Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl once in 1970 before Mahomes took center stage. It’s safe to say that since Mahomes set foot in Chiefs’ ter1ritory, they’ve been notching up those scoreboard points at lightning speed. Now, let’s flip the playbook and look at the Jets. They pulled off a bold move by trading for Rodgers from the Packers, hoping to resurrect their past glory. However, with Rodgers sidelined, that quest for redemption seems a tad out of reach.

Rating Game

 In the NFL, the clashes aren’t confined to the gridiron; it’s much more than that. It’s all about the numbers in terms of viewership. Take the Jets, for instance, who’ve had a fall from grace since their glorious 1969 Super Bowl victory over the then-Baltimore Colts. On the other hand, we have the Chiefs, where Mahomes has spearheaded their meteoric rise, propelling them to the coveted No.1 spot in the league.

 Lower Level of Demand From Fans

The NFL is all about catering to its die-hard fanbase, ensuring their unwavering loyalty to the league. When it comes to the Jets and Chiefs, it seems the fervor for a showdown between these two teams is on the lower end of the playbook.
