The Kansas City Chiefs will have a tough time getting to 3-0 against the Ravens, but these three players could help make it happen.

Mitchell Schwartz needs a bounce back game, but at the same time, he’s been so solid throughout his career that it wouldn’t be cause for panic if he did struggle again this week. It would more of just be wondering if there was an underlying reason as to why he isn’t playing like he’s normally capable of.

Mecole Hardman is more of a factor on special teams, but with Sammy Watkins potentially on the shelf this week, Hardman should get more targets and therefore more chances to step it up and prove himself on offense. He had a big game against the Ravens last year, but one of those catches was where most of his yardage came from.

Mike Pennel is returning at the best time possible, as we saw how badly the run defense looked against the Chargers last weekend. Having Pennel back out there against the NFL’s deadliest rushing attack is huge and he was the difference maker in last year’s defensive turnaround.

Hopefully these three players pull their weight this week and the Kansas City Chiefs can move to 3-0 and take down their biggest threat to win the AFC.
