Ranking NFL 2022 'Triplets,' Part II: Chargers edge out Bengals for top spot; Chiefs slipping
4. Kansas City Chiefs (Avg: 4.5, High: 2, Low: 10)
QB: Patrick Mahomes RB: Clyde Edwards-Helaire TE: Travis Kelce
This is the first time Kansas City is outside the top 2 since 2018, Mahomes' first season as the starter -- and it's likely not due to anything the Chiefs are lacking. There are just a few trios that have become so electric, so quickly, that having a running back whose efficiency has been questionable and a tight end who is on the wrong side of 30 (while still being one of the best in the NFL) was enough to knock them a few spots backward, and to prevent them from getting any first-place votes for the first time.
1. Los Angeles Chargers (Avg: 1.8, High: 1, Low: 4)
QB: Justin Herbert RB: Austin Ekeler WR: Keenan Allen
The Burrow-Chase connection figures to be one of the NFL's best for a long time, and was nearly enough to nab Cincy the top spot in our rankings. As you can see from the average rankings and the fact that both teams only received votes between first and fourth, our panel considered these two teams the clear cream of the crop, a step above Buffalo. Herbert's remarkable first two seasons, Ekeler's breakout as maybe the league's best pass-catching running back, and Allen's year-to-year consistency are likely what earned Los Angeles just a single more first-place vote than Cincinnati, and made the Chargers the No. 1 team in this year's Triplets Rankings.
