No one is quite sure where to put the K.C. Chiefs in the pecking order of the National Football League’s greatest teams. Following a shocking loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Chiefs have fallen, as expected, in the latest round of NFL Power Rankings before Week 3. The test for voters is this: Just how far should the Chiefs fall?
Yes, the Chiefs are 1-1, which should drop them behind a number of teams who remain undefeated—at least that’s how it should be on the surface. But the Chiefs were such heavy favorites entering the season to once again tame the AFC and they’re led by some of the league’s very best players (and coaches) that it makes it hard to drop them after one loss.
