Any team that is starting out 0-3 in the NFL is not in their ideal situation. The situation gets even worse when you are the defending division champions like our beloved Kansas City Chiefs.

This is the position the Chiefs found themselves in going into week 4 against the Minnesota Vickoings.  After three weeks of disappointment, Kansas City saw the Chiefs defeat the underachieving Vikings for their first win of the season.
