Give Herm Edwards credit. He has turned this team around. They are actually a factor in the AFC West, sitting atop the standings.

Kansas City won their ninth straight game over the Raiders on Sunday, coming out of Oakland with a hard fought 12-10 victory. Strangely enough, eight of those nine wins have been by seven points or fewer. Larry Johnson ran the ball 24 times for 112 yards and a score while the defense held the Raiders to just 55 yards rushing on the day. In his fist game action since 2005, Priest Holmes ran the ball four times for 9 yards. Jarrad Page, who had a game-sealing interception in a game vs. the Raiders last season, sealed this one up with a pick in the final seconds, too. The Chiefs — now 4-3 and in first place in the AFC West — are cruising, having won 4 of their last 5.
The Kansas City Chiefs are slowly creeping towards the top ten of the national power rankings. Just over a month ago, there was talk within these same power rankings of the Chiefs being the worst team in the league. Everyone saw Hard Knocks, decided our team was horrible and wrote us off until they couldn't write us off anymore.
To prove the ridiculousness of these power rankings, the Chargers are ranked ninth, eighth and sixth respectfully. The Chargers are going to have a tough time beating out the Chiefs for the top spot in the west if they lose to us at Arrowhead on December 2nd.
