NFL Power Rankings and the KC Chiefs schedule

When the NFL schedule came out a few weeks ago I didn’t write about the Kansas City Chiefs schedule right away. I wanted to take some time and really take stock of where all the teams were before I judged how the schedule looked. As I took time to look around this week, I naturally found myself ranking where I thought each team was compared to the others. While I was still interested in seeing where the Chiefs opponents in 2021 ended up on that list, I became more and more focused on the rankings themselves.

At that point I started thinking that maybe I would do my own power rankings instead of writing about the schedule. I debated doing two separate posts and writing about each on their own, but ultimately I decided to combine the two and to do a power rankings with a specific focus on the Chiefs schedule.

So as you go through my rankings you’ll see the teams that play K.C. have their game (or games) listed with the when and where the game takes place so you can see each on the teams in the power rankings that Kansas City plays this season. Also, in addition to my thoughts on how good the team will be overall, I’ll add my thoughts on their matchup with the Chiefs. Finally, I have the rankings broken into tiers, because I feel like there are gaps between some of these groups of teams that are even more significant than the number by number rankings.

So let’s get started with the best of the best.
