KANSAS CITY, Mo. – One of the biggest questions entering the regular season appears answered through five games as the Chiefs sit on a bye week.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—It looked as if the Chiefs fielded a completely different team on Monday compared to Week 1. With the 41-14 drubbing of the New England Patriots (2-2), the Chiefs moved to an even 2-2 record on the season and have won two in a row after starting 0-2.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For all the wrong making headlines in recent weeks, the majority of NFL players continue to do the right thing under the radar.
