It looks like the Chiefs are screwed now. They are going to get thier asses kicked in Denver on Monday.
Charles Robinson has them ranked second behind the Colts. This is the same moron that picked all the teams that won thier division to win them again except the Vikings. It looks like the Vikings could end up in the celler.

THE TOP 12
1. Indianapolis Colts (2-0) – Peyton Manning and company are off to a slow start, but the next five games should be an orgy of offense: Cleveland, Tennessee, San Francisco, St. Louis and Houston. Can you say 7-0 by the bye week?
2. Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) – Holding Oakland's offense to 17 points on the road goes a long way toward proving K.C.'s defense is legit. The next two games against Denver and Philadelphia could cement the Chiefs among the league's elite.
3. New England Patriots (1-1) – The turnovers by Tom Brady aren't indicative of anything but one bad game. The larger concern is reestablishing Corey Dillon (2.7 yards per carry) and getting the defensive mistakes under control.
4. Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) – Donovan McNabb stopped locking on Terrell Owens and spread the ball around Sunday. And say what you want about Owens, but when he's on his game, he's as fun to watch as anyone in the NFL.
5. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) – Teams aren't getting pressure on Ben Roethlisberger, and he's making them pay with a ridiculous 14.8 yards per pass attempt. He already has four pass plays over 40 yards, compared to seven last season.
6. Cincinnati Bengals (2-0) – Going back to last season, Carson Palmer has five straight games with a passer rating over 100. Odell Thurman looks like he's going to be everything the Bengals hoped the rookie linebacker would be.
7. Carolina Panthers (1-1) – Jake Delhomme has looked bad, but Stephen Davis and the defense are winning games again. And the Panthers' schedule seems to be softening by the minute: Their next five opponents have started the season a combined 2-8.
8. Atlanta Falcons (1-1) – The coaches still can't get Michael Vick's passing mechanics in order. He's still not setting his feet, and he missed Michael Jenkins twice on potential touchdowns Sunday. The defense looked atrocious at times against Seattle while giving up 428 yards.
9. New York Jets (1-1) – For all the whining, Chad Pennington's passing numbers aren't awful. But they should be better, considering how teams have stacked the line to stop Curtis Martin (2.5 yards per carry) the first two games.
10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) – All the talk is about the defense and Carnell Williams, but the offensive line held a stellar Buffalo defense to only one sack this weekend. With games against Green Bay and Detroit coming up, the Bucs could breeze to 4-0.
11. New York Giants (2-0) – The defense has allowed an average of just 51.5 rushing yards in the first two wins. Tom Coughlin may end up being the best thing that ever happened to Tiki Barber.
12. Washington Redskins (2-0) – The win over Dallas was stunning, and it's the kind of thing that could give this team some juice. Now the Redskins have the bye week to feel good about themselves and get Mark Brunell plenty of work with the first-team offense.
RISING
