KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs and Saints have more in common than their 0-2 starts: Both have offenses ranked in the top 5 of the NFL heading into their Week 3 game at the Superdome. Most of the offense has been wasted, though, or come when the outcome is already decided. The Chiefs have been spanked by Atlanta and Buffalo to start the year, while New Orleans has had to play from behind in games against Washington and Carolina. So while Saints quarterback Drew Brees has put up some decent numbers, and Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe has made some nice grabs, it’s mostly been for nothing. Perhaps something will give when the teams meet Sunday.
