The NFL's only unbeaten squad refuses to relinquish the title.
It's never too easy for the Kansas City Chiefs, who have won all of their seven games by 14 points or less, but playing consistently good football is a proven recipe for coming out on top. The two-time defending Super Bowl champions know that well, and they're letting the rest of the NFL in on a not-so-secret secret: A three-peat is on the table.
The Chiefs handled the Las Vegas Raiders by a 27-20 score in Week 8 and look poised to make another championship run.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
Signed to a three-year extension in the offseason, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill played by far his best game of the year after several solid but average or below-average showings.
He recorded a game-high two tackles for loss or no gain against the run and notched a sack on one of his three pass-rushing snaps.
