The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off their very first loss of the season
Sammy Watkins Jersey , and power rankings from the national writers reflect that.One of them — Yahoo’s Frank Schwab — held the Chiefs steady, but most dropped the team a spot or two.The Chiefs started at third in our aggregated pundit power rankings when we tabulated the early ones on Tuesday morning, fell to fourth when the MMQB poll came in, and finally settled in to a tie for third (with the New Orleans Saints) when Elliot Harrison released his NFL.com power rankings.Here’s how the pundits ranked all 32 teams:Pundit Power Rankings for Week 7Chiefs AFC West Teams Other AFC TeamsHere's what the pundits we're tracking said about the Chiefs this week:ESPN (3rd from 2nd)MMQB (4th from 2nd)NFL.com (Elliot Harrison - 3rd from 2nd)SBNation (Rebecca Toback - 3rd from 2nd)Sporting News (Vinnie Iyer - 4th from 2nd)Yahoo! Sports (Frank Schwab - 2nd from 2nd)CBS Sports (Pete Prisco - 4th from 2nd)USA Today (Nate Davis - 4th from 2nd)Other power rankings we noticed this week:Bleeding Green Nation (Brandon Lee Gowton — 3rd from 1st) For as good as the Chiefs’ offense is, their defense has some real issues.NJ.com (Joe Giglio — 3rd from 2nd) There’s little reason for the Chiefs to be discouraged by Sunday night’s loss in New England. Patrick Mahomes showed me more in defeat than he has in any win. This offense is historically good, and the defense can only get better with health from Eric Berry and Justin Houston.Washington Post (Mark Maske — 4th from 2nd) QB Patrick Mahomes is great and the offense was clicking with a 31-point second half Sunday night at New England. But the defense failed to do its part and the Chiefs lost the first 43-40 game in NFL history. Getting injured standouts Justin Houston and Eric Berry back will help. But there are no excuses. The Chiefs simply must play better on defense with the players they have.NESN.com (Joshua Schrock — 3rd from 1st) Mahomes and Co. suffered their first loss of the season, but it was a valiant effort that showed they belong in the same conversation with the Patriots atop the AFC. The conference still could run through Arrowhead Stadium.Jaguars.com (John Oehser — 2nd from 1st) A worthy No. 2 that could be No. 1 again soonMile High Report (Pete Baron — 2nd from 2nd) I predicted 42-43 Patriots victory, so this came as no surprise. I can’t knock the Chiefs down for losing on the last drive of the game in Foxboro. 30 seconds is too much time to leave Brady, much less 3 minutes. The Chiefs are for real, and honestly, they very well might be in the Super Bowl. They aren’t your dad’s Chiefs anymore.After their victory on Sunday night, the Patriots gained two positions in our aggregated pundit rankings
Authentic Anthony Hitchens Jersey , while the Chiefs dropped one spot. The national writers are behaving exactly as you would expect — essentially forgiving the Patriots for their early losses.It will certainly be interesting to see how the number-crunchers evaluate the relationship between the Chiefs and Patriots when we look at Arrowhead Pride True Power Rankings on Wednesday.The pundits now see the Chiefs at the second-best team in the AFC — and with their 4-2 record and a lopsided win against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, the pundits now think the Los Angeles Chargers are right on their heels; the pundits moved the Chargers up five positions this week.The Denver Broncos fell another spot, and the Oakland Raiders have now fallen to 32nd in the estimation of the writers.Over in Denver, Mile High Report’s Pete Baron prefaced his power rankings with a plea for the firing of head coach Vance Joseph, and the return of Mike Shanahan.This seems unlikely six weeks into the season — but then again, I would have considered the return of Jeff Allen to the Chiefs roster as unlikely, too.Elsewhere, the Dallas Cowboys moved into the middle of the pack, moving up seven spots after their 40-7 drubbing of the Jacksonville Jaguars — who dropped seven positions in the rankings.The Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans all fell six places after losses on Sunday.On Wednesday, we’ll fold in the Week 7 data from the number-crunchers, and bring you our True Power Rankings!Don’t forget to check it out! On Sunday
Limited Kendall Fuller Jersey , the regular season will end. A full 34 days later, we’ll learn the identity of the MVP. When that happens (and if we still care . . . there’s a chance that the night before the Super Bowl we won’t), the MVP possibly will be not one but two players.It’s happened twice before, with Packers quarterback Brett Favre and Lions running back Barry Sanders sharing the award in 1997, and with Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and Titans quarterback Steve McNair splitting it in 2003. With only 50 voters and each voter having only one vote each, there’s a chance it will happen in 2018, with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Saints quarterback Drew Brees registering a tie.Some believe Mahomes should be the no-brainer winner, but what if the Chiefs lose on Sunday against the Raiders and ultimately fail to secure the AFC West crown? Since the merger, only one quarterback has won the MVP award outright without his team winning its division — that came in 2008, when Peyton Manning’s Colts finished second to the Titans.Plenty of running backs have won the MVP without his team winning the division. Vikings running back Adrian Peterson became the MVP in 2012, Rams running back Marshall Faulk won the MVP in 2000, Oilers running back Earl Campbell won it in 1979
Chad Henne Jersey Salute to Service , Bears running back Walter Payton won it in 1977, and Bills running back O.J. Simpson was named MVP in 1973, even though Buffalo didn’t even make the playoffs that year. But quarterbacks who win the award typically also have won their divisions.If the Chiefs don’t win the AFC West, should Mahomes be the MVP? While that outcome would be in many respects out of his control, it could make it harder to overcome Brees’ candidacy, given that the Saints have secured the top seed in the NFC.Mahomes has become the most dynamic and exciting player in the NFL, and it’s easy to make the argument that he should win the first of what could be many MVP awards. But if the Chiefs lose on Sunday to the Raiders and fail to win their division, Brees could end up securing enough votes to take the prize — or maybe to result in the third ever tie.
