Kansas City Chiefs: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings
Sports Illustrated
124. . (5-1). Previous: . Kansas City Chiefs. 1. team
So that’s it, a clean sweep for the Kansas City Chiefs as they sit atop the Sports Illustrated power rankings as well. The Chiefs have apparently made believers out of just about everyone out there. You would hope that would be the case for a team that has taken down so many of the top teams in the NFL this year.
Kansas City got seven of the potential 12 first place votes for Sports Illustrated, so it wasn’t unanimous. Would really like to see the reasoning behind voting for the Patriots or Eagles (both of whom the Chiefs beat) for the top spot.
While it’s great to see Kansas City continue to grab the top spot across the board here, know that this is the last bit of good faith they’ll get. If the Chiefs don’t beat the Raiders this week, you know people will be dropping them in the rankings. Sure, that’s not the big reason to go out and beat Oakland, but it’s still a little more motivation.
