The terrifying, unbeaten Chiefs would like you to know your predictions were wrong

Doug Farrar argues that the Kansas City Chiefs have re-established themselves as premier NFL contenders after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 30-27 on Sunday to remain unbeaten at 4-0. Despite trailing 13-10 at halftime, Kansas City rallied behind two fourth-quarter rushing touchdowns from Kenneth Walker. The victory was secured when safety Xavier Nwankpa intercepted a Kirk Cousins pass with 10 seconds remaining.

The Chiefs' hot start follows a disappointing 6-11 season in 2025 that led many observers to write them off. However, the offense suffered significant blows during Sunday's game, with Rashee Rice departing due to a hamstring issue and Tyquan Thornton carted off with a dislocated ankle.
