why does everything think so highly of the Seahawks?  They also have the Bills really low.  Bills/ Chiefs next week should be another exciting one.  Hopefully the Chiefs curbstomp them and shut some people up

Hard to lose when you have the refs in ya pocket

The Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles are at 11 despite beating three of the teams above them on these rankings.

Thats an opinion alright.

Rashee Rice throws the ball back to the ref and the defender gets in the way and draws a 15 yard penalty

Just like Hurts in most QB rankings. Outside of top 10. Related

I am not saying I agree. Just were most rankings have him

I don't know as much about other teams as I do the Chiefs (captain obvious).

And then, since red zone wasn't offered on directv this year I'm really able to follow other teams a lot less than I have in prior years.   So I'm really getting chiefs, their opponents, nationally televised games and then in market games.  It makes following other teams a lot harder than it was for me in the past.   With that, I also follow AFC more closely than I do the NFC.

But what I'm especially encouraged about with this Chiefs team is the level of talent from top to bottom and the depth they seem to have.   In years past they dealt with offensive line woes, crap in the receiver room, etc.   And while they've made it work, I don't see many holes on this roster. 

Defense is stout.  The d-line is a strength led by Jones and karlaftis, and while losing a very promising rookie sucks it's still a strength.   Linebackers are solid and the secondary has played extremely well. 

On the other side of the ball I've touted this o- line from the get-go.  Even with Simmons leaving the team to tend to his mother and Smith missing yesterday with back issues the backups have played well which is encouraging for depth.   And this is the best receiver room Mahomes has probably ever worked with. 

Things are clicking and I just hope the team stays healthy and continues to perform well.   At some point Chris Jones and Travis Kelce will no longer be playing and I'm just trying to enjoy it while I can.

The Chiefs haven't been at full strength all year, either, but they are getting closer.

They still haven't beaten anyone and are 3rd in their own Division
