Who said the Chiefs couldn't win today?

Kansas City is on a bye week, but the Chiefs are clearly the biggest winners of NFL Week 10 to this point.

We already knew the Chiefs had an inside track to the No. 1 seed, though today's results afford Kansas City a much greater margin of error. It sure looks like we'll have a great opportunity to host a sixth consecutive AFC Championship.

Your Kansas City Chiefs are the only AFC team with two or fewer losses.

The Ravens choked away a 14-point lead after a late interception thrown by Lamar Jackson while the Jaguars got embarrassed by the 49ers, giving the Chiefs a massive edge in the AFC standings.

Kansas City (7-2) not only has fewer losses than all of the top AFC contenders, but the Chiefs have head-to-head wins over the Jaguars (6-3) and Dolphins (6-3). The Ravens have three conference losses to Kansas City's one, giving the Chiefs the tie-breaker there too.

Shoot, even the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the suddenly-spry Houston Texans!

If the playoffs started today, the Bengals (5-5), Bills (5-4) and Chargers (4-4) would all be sitting on their couches watching from home like the rest of us.

Turns out you can still win on a bye week, after all.
