It's entirely reasonable to expect the Kansas City Chiefs to fall in NFL power rankings after losing their season opener to the Los Angeles Chargers. Still, I can't recall any week during Andy Reid's tenure that the Chiefs received a doubledigit ranking from any 's this week's sampling:: 5down from 4One pass attempt into the season, Patrick Mahomes lost Xavier Worthy indefinitely to a shoulder injury. Rashee Rice is only one week into a sixgame suspension. Rookie Jalen Royals is dealing with knee pain. Hollywood Brown played his role in the opener, Travis Kelce caught a schemedup TD and JuJu SmithSchuster made a few plays. But we're almost right back where Kansas City has been a few times in the recent past, and we know how this movie goes. The Chiefs really labored offensively for much of the loss in Brazil before catching a little fire late against the Chargers. But with the defense really struggling to get stops, it introduced a relatively new storyline to watch. I was hopeful the offense could regain some of its mojo Noah Gray Jersey, but I truly thought the D would be stout. With Philly on tap, Kansas City could be in some early heat. Eric EdholmESPN: 5down from 2Best newcomer performance: OT Josh SimmonsThe Chiefs received a solid performance from their firstround pick in his debut. As the new blindside protector for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Simmons didn't surrender a sack despite at times battling Khalil Mack, the Chargers' best edge rusher. The biggest issue is that Simmons committed two false start penalties. Moving forward, the Chiefs would be wise to use him more often in running plays, as he showed his athleticism in a few snaps last week. Nate TaylorThe Athletic: 10down from 5Their streak of 17 straight wins in onescore games is over https://www.chiefsfullapparel.com/Chiefs_Chris_Roland_wallace_Jersey, and their margin for error just seems smaller than it used to be. The Chiefs did notch three sacks, but for the most part, they gave Herbert way too much time to throw. They need more from Charles Omenihu, Mike Danna and Derrick Nnadi. And their top pass rusher, Chris Jones, offered an easy escape from the pocket on a crucial, late firstdown scramble. Josh KendallSports Illustrated: 7down from 4It was notable how flat the Chiefs seemed to come out on Friday. That is maybe more of a reflection of the NFL shipping one of its most valuable commodities to Brazil of all places for the season opener, but if the most valuable arm in the NFL hurling itself into a defender's shoulder doesn't get a team jacked up, I'm not quite sure what will. I'm not ready to call it related to the Super Bowl blowout until I see the rematch this weekend. Conor OrrPro Football Talk: 7down from 2Mahomes is still Mahomes, but something seems to be missing. Mike : 8down from 5The defense has to be a concern after the Chargers loss. Now here comes the Eagles offense. Steve Spagnuolo has to get it going. Pete PriscoYahoo! Sports: 7down from 4Week 2 is never a mustwin in the NFL. But Eagles at Chiefs feels pretty big for Kansas City. There's the Super Bowl revenge angle. Mostly, starting 02 with some tough games coming up and some injury concerns wouldn't be ideal. There will be urgency for the Chiefs in September, which is rare. Frank SchwabThe Sporting News: 8down from 4The Chiefs did not have enough Patrick Mahomes in a onedimensional passheavy offense without Rashee Rice and now Xavier Worthy to pull it out late vs. the Chargers. The pass defense concerns may linger with the Eagles next. Vinnie IyerUSA Today: 8down from 3The only AFC West team to lose in Week 1 is now looking down the barrel at an 02 start if it's still not up to going toetotoe with Philly seven months after being thoroughly embarrassed in New Orleans. It would definitely help to get WR Xavier Worthy shoulder Phillip Brooks Jersey, who had 157 receiving yards and two TDs in the Super Bowl loss, back into the lineup.
