I think the Chiefs are in trouble. They have a hard game at Denver Thursday night, and if they lose that one, they could spiral. Their schedule then gets even tougher.
I agree with this ranking, but NO probably sneaks into top 3 when Brees comes back. And I wouldnt be surprised to see Seattle come out of the NFC, either.
The Chiefs just lost two games in a row on their home field. And we have a much better defense than either of those teams they lost to. I think NE is going to destroy them.
I know anything can happen, but it's hard to see the Dolphins scoring more than 7 points, absent a freakish pick six or a blocked punt. I can't see a scenario where we don't win this game. A great defense doesn't go into a slump against a team like the fish.
It's not a stretch to say we're the second best team in the AFC right now. I can't think of a team other than NE that we wouldn't beat on a neutral field.
I hate to tell you, but that cliche is not a thing for fans.
As I said in another thread: Mahomes is really missing having a RB like Kareem Hunt. It showed up last year in the AFCC game and it's becoming more obvious now. They are one dimensional.
I think there are a lot of really good defenses right now, too. NE, Bills, SF and Chicago are elite defenses and NO, GB, Jax, Minn and a few others are very good, too.
