Stat of the Week

83. That is how many points the Chiefs have scored this season. That is 15th in the AFC and that is terrible. Here’s a note to cry over… the Jaguars have scored more total points in the same number of games. Surprisingly, the Texans are floundering having scored AFC-lowest 82 points in 5 contests.

AFC West Power Rankings

Oakland is surging while Chiefs were out on their bye week. Denver looked pedestrian and have shown the cracks that could allow them to be knocked off of the AFC West pedestal. If the teams played today on a neutral field, this is how it plays out at this point in the season.

That’s it for now. Week 6 could mark a swing in fortune for this team. What do you think, Addicts?
