KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The statistics offer a dark forecast of what remains of the 2014 regular season for the winless Chiefs entering Week 3.

The Chiefs dropped to 0-2 in regular-season play following Sunday’s 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos. And the start of the 2014 campaign is a sharp contrast to last season’s 9-0 start.

The Chiefs’ string of bad luck with injuries endures another week. Two All-Pro selections, running back Jamaal Charles and strong safety Eric Berry, left Sunday’s 24-14 loss to the Denver Broncos with ankle sprains, severity unknown. “They’ll have X-rays tomorrow,” coach Andy Reid told reporters during his postgame media session.

There were clear improvements Sunday from a dismal Week 1 showing. But the Chiefs are potentially at DEFCON 3 following a 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos that dropped the Chiefs to 0-2 to start the 2014 season.

The Chiefs game-day inactives don’t contain surprises. Rookie running back/wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas won’t play against the Denver Broncos as he nurses a hamstring injury. Thomas, who was declared as “out” on Friday’s injury report, has yet to play in a regular-season contest.
