Chiefs, only beaten team in NFL, take over sole possession of top spot in AP power rankings

Kansas City, the only unbeaten team in the NFL, is now alone atop The Associated Press power rankings.

The Chiefs didn't exactly impress the voters in a 23-13 victory against Buffalo that included two touchdowns from the defense and none from the offense.

Some panelists figure Kansas City's 9-0 record will get a test soon enough — as in the next game. The Chiefs, 2-14 a year ago, go to Denver after this week's bye.

Alex Marvez of Foxsports.com writes that everyone will finally get a good gauge of "how good the Chiefs are" against the Broncos on Nov. 17.

Seattle is second after dropping out of a tie for the top spot with Kansas City, and Denver stayed at No. 3.
