Are the Chiefs that good or are the Jaguars that bad? A little of both
The answer is always something in-between. There's no doubt that the Chiefs played a very good game last Sunday against the Jacksonville. There's also no doubt that the Jaguars are a bad team. So it's a little of both.
Power rankings: Middle of the pack for KC
They were at No. 19 by SB Nation's NFL power rankings. That's fair right now. From many others' perspective, KC just beat a really bad team. You can't learn as much about your team by beating someone bad. It's important to beat those teams, but it's not "proving" a whole lot. That said, simply winning the games you should and not screwing it up is an effective way of making it into the postseason.

The game ball goes to...
Hard to knock this one. Andy Reid certainly deserves one -- and got one from Clark Hunt after the game -- but Justin Houston looked outstanding in Week 1. Good choice, AP.
