10 weeks into a very unique NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs are back where they’ve been for a vast majority of the previous four years — atop the AFC.
The 7-2 Chiefs are alone at the peak of their conference, owning one less loss than five other AFC contenders. In addition, they have a stranglehold on the AFC West — and could solidify a four-game lead in the division standings with a win against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11.
Outside of the loyal fans that make up “Chiefs Kingdom,” this was not the expectation in the offseason — especially after the team traded away wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
