Two of those touchdown plays were at least 70 yards, an 86-yard kickoff return in the Chiefs' win in Denver and a 70-yard run in the Chiefs' win at Arrowhead Stadium. He also had a 3-yard reception for a score and a 3-yard run for a touchdown in Kansas City's overtime win in Denver.

"I've said he can always go the distance in any way he gets the ball," said Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. "He has a lot of speed; he's one of the fastest guys we face, maybe the fastest."

Late Oakland Raiders score shouldn't have surprised Kansas City Chiefs | ESPN

The Chiefs started the season well by successfully defending late against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. New England had four possessions in the fourth quarter as they tried to rally for a win. The Patriots punted three times and the Chiefs had a fourth-down stop.

That game, against one of the NFL's all-time great quarterbacks and one of this season's top passing and scoring teams, was the only one of their seven this season that ended with the Chiefs in victory formation and quarterback Alex Smith taking a knee.

The Cowboys just beat the 49ers but visit the Washington Redskins, host the Kansas City Chiefs, and travel to the Atlanta Falcons over the next three weeks. Counting the San Francisco game that’s four consecutive games against teams with shades of red jerseys.

This is a four-game stretch that will likely define the Dallas Cowboys season, especially considering the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Redskins on Monday Night Football, giving them the NFL’s best record at 6-1.

Chiefs’ Kareem Hunt has broken more tackles than Ezekiel Elliott did all last season | Arrowhead Pride

Apparently Kareem Hunt didn’t get the message because when he was coming out of the draft people talked about his ability to make people miss. You hear that a lot so I didn’t expect it to be quite so true in year one. This PFF stat puts into context how many broken tackles he has.

I know a lot of you are upset that he’s seemingly dropping into coverage more than usual, but I am taking that as a sign that the coaches know he’s not at Full Pass Rush Juice. If that’s what’s happening, that’s a big problem.

We can all pick out our pet projects about why that game — honestly, that’s as close as a game as you can have, it’s like the Chiefs won the popular vote but lost the electoral college — swung to the Raiders and many of them are true.

But there is no question in my mind that they would’ve won if Houston was at the NFL’s week 7 version of full strength.
