Week 10 NFL Power Rankings: Patriots Make Major Leap

Rob Gronkowski

14. Kansas City Chiefs (LW: 18)

Largely left for dead after an 0-2 start — including a home loss to the Titans — the Kansas City Chiefs have gone on a 5-1 run since. Two of their last three wins have been against the Jets and Rams, so expectations should be tempered a bit, but Kansas City’s top-5 scoring defense from 2013 appears to be returning to form. The Chiefs are now ranked second in points allowed. With losses by the Broncos and Chargers in Week 9, the Chiefs are quiet players in the AFC West division race.
