Kansas City Chiefs: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings
Pro Football Talk
Previous: . Kansas City Chiefs. 1. team. 124. They lost but they’re still No. 1? Welcome to 2017, when it’s impossible to figure out who really is/isn’t the “best” team in football.. (5-1)
Mike Florio sticks with the Kansas City Chiefs in the Pro Football Talk power rankings. That’s a bit of a surprise for me, but I’ll take it. How good have the Chiefs been this year? I mean, power rankings are usually the place to go for hot takes.
That’s really not a bad observation about the 2017 season. There have been ups and downs all across the board, and virtually nobody has performed as expected (except for the Browns and 49ers). That makes it even tougher to drop the Chiefs who have easily been the most impressive team so far.
We’ll see if this continues. On paper, Kansas City should easily win their next few games. However, football is not played on paper (no matter what the analytics guys tell you). The Chiefs will have to get the job done, and largely on the road.
