Because you've been handing them losses.
Also, three of the under .500 teams the Chiefs have faced (Cowboys, Eagles, Giants) have also played the Broncos, another 5-0 team. There's another 3 losses. Those three teams, sure, are kinda poopy and smelly, but it doesn't help a poopy and smelly team to have had to face TWO perfect teams through the first 5 weeks of the season.
I'm willing to bet that a good portion of 5-0 teams in NFL history had low strengths of schedule. That's kinda how it works out, mathematically.

I was thinking about this the other day, specifically the bolded part.

My contention is that we've beaten three real good teams, and two shitrockets.
Shitrockets that we've beaten by at least three touchdowns each, by the way. This team is for real.

This idea also has merit..
Until you remember that the Eagles and Cowboys both have wins over the shitrocket Giants. The Boys only other win this season came against a slightly less shitty shitrocket in the Rams and the Eagles only other win came against the shitstain Redskins.
You can only play your schedule though. Before the season, everyone thought we were going to be facing a murderer's row so **** 'em now.
