Week 16 NFL Power Rankings

Julian Edelamn

15. Kansas City Chiefs (LW: 14)

That was to be expected. Avenging their Week 12 loss in Oakland, the Chiefs pounded the Raiders at home to stop their three-game losing streak and re-enter the AFC playoff race. Little should be taken away from destroying the terrible Raiders, but Kansas City needed to get back on the winning track before heading to Pittsburgh next week. At least, if things break the right way, they may enter the final week of the season with an opportunity to control their own destiny for a Wild Card berth in a home game against the Chargers.
