Chiefs check-in: Kansas City builds momentum ahead of matchup vs. Eagles

What’s happening in Chiefs Kingdom?

The Kansas City Chiefs are entering their bye week with a full head of steam and will look to maintain the momentum they’ve built ahead of their next game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium.

Currently, the Chiefs sit atop ESPN’s football power index rankings as the NFL’s top team, and linebacker Willie Gay Jr. graded out as the third-best defender in the league in Week 9. Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin recognized Kansas City’s dominance and gave the Chiefs their flowers on “Undisputed” earlier this week.
