Yes the defence is improved but it's hard to win in the NFL when your team scores 8 points per week and turns the ball over at least twice a game. Thats what the Chiefs defence is facing this year. Not to mention the 4th toughest schedule in Football. Outside of their 3 games against so so NFC West opponents I don't see them beating anyone.

That being said. The Chiefs had a better chance of winning in Denver last Sunday than I can remember. Yeah the Chiefs are averaging only 8 points a game so far. But they aren't allowing 30 points a game either. So far the have lost to arguably one of the best teams in the AFC by 10, and that was after a devastating head shot to the face of the franchise. Then they control the game in Denver only to lose in overtime by a field goal. I'll admit, I don't see this team winning the Super Bowl or even making the playoffs. But I woudn't compare it to the Raiders just yet.
