The Chiefs get a nice surge in our NFL power rankings, thanks to their thrilling 30-27 victory over the Broncos on Sunday Night Football.

We expected a defensive game. And that’s what it was, early on at least. And Kansas City managed to get to overtime, thanks in no small measure to veteran pass-rusher Justin Houston.

Houston led the way with three sacks and five tackles for a loss. In case you didn’t know it, he’s good… very good.

So is tight end Travis Kelce, who is quarterback Alex Smith’s best weapon on offense.

Sunday night’s game was a big mark on the calendar for this Chiefs squad. It won’t get any easier though. Kansas City gets to visit the Falcons next week, followed by welcoming the Raiders in Week 14 in what promises to be an epic showdown.
