The Kansas City Chiefs are absolutely, positively, the best team in the A.F.C. Except they lost Sunday night at Seattle.

So maybe it’s the Los Angeles Chargers, who twice this month have surmounted double-digit second-half deficits on the road against division leaders, most recently a week and a half ago at Kansas City.

Wait, what’s that you say? Oh. The Chargers flopped at home Saturday night against the surging Baltimore Ravens, who lost to the Chiefs a few weeks back.
