    Chiefs Grab Top Spot in Latest Power Rankings

    By Jonah Morgan,

    The Kansas City Chiefs were able to get the win in Week 2 of the regular season against the Cincinnati Bengals, which improves their record to 2-0.

    In a recent article by Bleacher Report , they put together their power rankings following the Week 2 slate of games. Unsurprisingly, the reigning Super Bowl champions still rank at the top after their win against Joe Burrow and company.

    "Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Kansas City Chiefs were held under 300 yards of total offense. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes passed for just 151 yards. The Chiefs were outgained and lost the turnover battle 3-1 ... And they still won," Bleacher Report writes.

    "After the victory, Mahomes lauded his team's resiliency—while allowing that the Chiefs most assuredly need to play cleaner football moving forward."

    Both of the Chiefs' games so far have been close ones that came down to the very last play of the game, but the team was able to come out the victors in both instances.

    Mahomes played one of the worst games of his career in Week 2 against the Bengals, passing for just 151 yards and throwing two picks. But the rest of the team was able to pick him up and get the win dramatically.

    If the Chiefs can get wins despite not playing the best football, they should be just fine when they start rolling.
