I don't think they are going to get it together. They looked better in the first two weeks than what they look right now. Mahomes is just not playing good at all right now. He was just flat out bad last night. Had open guys he didn't even see all night. Too busy trying to make unconventional throws when basic ones are there. The team won't go anywhere with him playing like this. The offensive line is not looking very good either. For that much money the pressure rate can't be that high. The defence can only get better, but the unit lacks the talent to be anything better than below average. The parts just don't fit together with that group, and they keep having Daniel Sorenson on the field...
Buffalo
Tennessee
Las Vegas
Baltimore
Cincinnati
Pittsburgh
Los Angeles
seem like the 7 teams most likely to make the playoffs right now. Indianapolis might play their way back into it, if they realize they should use Jonathan Taylor more. The Patriots too might be able to sneak in if Belichick can get them to keep improving. Cleveland too if they can get healthy. So that's 10 teams who all clearly look better than Kansas City does right now.
As for the Division, Las Vegas when they aren't worried about having a racist homophobic coach have been very good. The Chargers already beat the Chiefs at home, and Denver well they have beat similar competition to what KC has thus far. At best the Chiefs are the third best team, and they might be the worst right now even with Von Miller having been traded.
