Another week, another win for the reigning Super Bowl champions. The offense is slowly starting to round into form, and Travis Kelce delivered his best game of the season with 10 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown. The Chiefs' defense once again had a strong performance, sacking Gardner Minshew five times while holding the Raiders to 228 yards of total offense in the win. The Chiefs have not played their best football yet this season, yet they are undefeated and remain atop our power rankings.
