The Kansas City Chiefs are set to face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14 with a chance to maintain their spot as the top team in the AFC.
While the Chiefs and Detroit Lions, who are both 11-1, have the top records in the NFL by record, Kansas City has slipped in recent power rankings after narrow victories over the lowly Carolina Panthers and Las Vegas Raiders in Weeks 12 and 13.
The experts at Pro Football Network put the Chiefs in the No. 6 spot in their latest power rankings, between the Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Ravens, who occupied the No. 5 and No. 7 slots respectively.
The Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, and Green Bay Packers were Pro Football Network’s top-four teams ahead of Minnesota.
With five games left to play, Kansas City is laser-focused on grinding out wins to earn the AFC’s No. 1 playoff seed and home-field advantage through the postseason.
Expect the Chiefs to move up in Pro Football Network’s rankings if any of the NFL’s top teams are defeated in the coming weeks.
