I dunno....

Dolphins beat the now 1-2 Chargers by 2 on a last minute TD.
Chiefs lose by a point to the now 2-1 Lions

Dolphins underwhelmingly take care of a mediocre (at best) Patriots team.
Chiefs underwhelmingly take care of a mediocre Jags team.

Dolphins demolish the Broncos.
Chiefs demolish the Bears.

The Dolphins were far more in sync on offense in week 1, but their defense also looked terrible. Chiefs defense has of course been a major strength.

It's hard to ignore 70 points of course, even if the Chiefs probably put up a couple more TDs yesterday if Mahomes stays in... not that those games tell us anything about anything.

If we're talking an ESPN attention grabbing power ranking of the feels right this very moment... sure, give it to the Phins this week. They clearly wanted that prize.
