Kansas City Chiefs (1970-) AFC, West Division - Charter Member of the AFL (1960) as the Dallas Texans

[DonRocks]

Coming into tonight's game against the Houston Texans, the Kansas City Chiefs were the final remaining undefeated team in the NFL.

After tonight's game, they're still undefeated - they are incredible.

Their rookie running back, Kareem Hunt, is not only the leading candidate for the 2017 NFL Rookie of the Year; he's still seriously being mentioned in the NFL MVP conversation.  

Kareem Hunt has made the Chiefs' career-journeyman quarterback, Alex Smith, the best quarterback in the NFL so far this season - really! Look it up! Alex Smith! After five games, the man has 11 touchdowns and 0 interceptions.

Quoted from NFL.com: Through five games, Smith has as many interceptions as he does losses: zero. Give him the respect he deserves.

The Chiefs are so impressive that they forced several players into my medium-term memory - one of whom is the fastest player in the NFL: Tyreek Hill, who can achieve speeds of nearly 23 mph.

As I write this with 1:13 left in the game, KC is beating Houston 42-26. They're the better of the two teams, and fully deserved to win this game despite the unfortunate injury of J.J. Watt. (Edit: The final score was 42-34.)

Hat's off to you, KC.

Tyreek is one of my best fantasy picks-- especially after losing my #1 pick David Johnson, and more recently, Ty Montgomery.

I pray to the football gods that Latavius Murray doesn't score more than 11 points tonight. I need this win!
