The New York Jets travel to Arrowhead Stadium this week as heavy underdogs against a Kansas City Chiefs team sitting at 5-2, and the news cycle ahead of kickoff has mostly broken Kansas City's way.

The Chiefs announced what Yahoo Sports characterized as good news regarding Travis Kelce on Thursday, three days before the Week 9 matchup — a boost for an offense that leans on its veteran tight end in big spots. Both teams also released their Thursday injury reports, giving the first clear picture of who's trending toward availability on Sunday.

For the Jets, the week has been about finding a path to an upset. Analysts have laid out keys to stealing a road win — a list that starts with surviving one of the NFL's toughest environments — along with the matchups to watch when the teams square off. A road date with Kansas City is a brutal assignment for any underdog, but it's also the kind of game that can reset a season if the Jets can pull it off.
