Week 8 NFL Power Rankings

Andre Ellington

19. Kansas City Chiefs (LW: 24)

I think we were premature to consider the Chiefs a non-factor this season. Maybe they’re not a playoff team, but they’re certainly capable of going toe-to-toe with any team on any given Sunday. In the AFC West, they could play a role in deciding whether it’s the Broncos or Chargers who take first place.

What to know: Jamaal Charles passed Priest Holmes as the Chiefs’ career rushing leader. Holmes previously held the mark with 6,070 yards (ESPN Stats & Info).
