    NFL Power Rankings: Chiefs consensus top team despite sluggish offense

    The Kansas City Chiefs have limped out of the gates offensively. Their passing game has become very reliant on Rashee Rice, who will be out for the foreseeable future, and Travis Kelce looks like a shell of his former self.

    Despite that, the Chiefs are still 4-0 and a consensus top team in the league across several power rankings.

    ESPN: No. 1

    "Other than Jones, the Chiefs aren't getting enough pressure on the opposing quarterback. They have sacks on just 5.2% of opponents' pass attempts, ranking near the bottom of the league. George Karlaftis and Mike Danna were productive pass rushers last season, but they have just 1.5 sacks between them this season. Jones had both of the Chiefs' sacks in last week's win over the Chargers."- Adam Teicher

    Pro Football Talk: No. 1

    "The team that seems to always find a way in the postseason is always finding a way in the regular season."- Mike Florio

    The Sporting News: No. 1

    "The Chiefs used defense and the running game to out-grind the Chargers, but they still found enough passing pop with Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy after the big loss of Rashee Rice (knee). Somehow, Kansas City seems to be getting harder to beat by the game."- Vinnie Iyer
