3. Tyreek Hill

Tyreek Hill had himself a day on Sunday, grabbing nine catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed the ball one time for eight yards, proving he can still be used in a variety of ways.

Hill now has nine touchdowns on the season and unless a major injury occurs, it seems near impossible for him not to reach double digit touchdowns. His speed has been a problem for opposing secondaries and he proved that once again with a 28 yard touchdown pass. He also had a touchdown pass of two yards late in the game to put the Chiefs further ahead.

As long as Hill is on the field, the Chiefs have a shot to make a play deep. As good as his performance was, however, there were still two players better than him on Sunday.

2. Travis Kelce

While Travis Kelce didn’t have the touchdowns on Sunday – those went to Hill – he led the Chiefs in receiving yards and when a big play was needed on offense, Kelce came up clutch. He hauled in 10 catches for 159 yards, which is now his third game with over 100 yards receiving and his second straight.

The Chiefs are fortunate to have both Hill and Kelce on offense and when they both go for over 100 yards, you’d think it’d end up being a Chiefs blowout, but that wasn’t the case here. It’d be nice to see the other offensive weapons step up, but for now, Kelce continues to help this team win games.
